"Mount Rushmore of Wrestling"

Recommended Posts

I've noticed people including wrestlers themselves in recent years suddenly talking about their own mount rushmore of 4 greatest of all time. Undertaker is even doing videos on youtube about his various ones. Do anyone of you have one? I'd have to think carefully and hard about different types but I guess my own personal favorite 4 of all time would have to be..

The concept is too outdated at this point. You'd need to do specific lists...lucha, big men, technical, hardcore, death match, top draw, fan favorites, etc.

Also, we're too easily influenced by nostalgia and the flow of time. Someone like Austin or The Rock would feel like a shoe-in, until you realize that there are people on the current roster who have been around longer than those people, and accomplished arguably bigger things. You also have foreign stars to consider...how many Japanese or Mexican stars belong on that list when considered in the industry as a whole. Why is the top four always classic WWF guys? How much do accolades like title reigns count? Length of reigns, or quantity? It's a really weird road to go down. Like...if we're talking about sheer influence on the industry, I think you need Rey Mysterio on any self-respecting list. Everything he's already done...and he continues to be present...and Nobody likes Hulk Hogan in modern times, but he's arguably still the biggest name ever. So many factors. I just find it exhausting to attempt.
