Who would be on your Mt. Rushmore of pro wrestling? Biggest names in the business in your opinion. You also get two honorable mentions. Also, who are your person top 4, or your personal favorite Mt. Rushmore with two honorable mentions. I still watch but for me 80s through Ruthless aggression is my favorite time as a wrestling fan and I'll be rewatching matches from that timeframe forever. For me it is:
Hogan, Austin, Rock ,Flair
Honorable Mention: Undertaker (never the face but top guy in multiple eras) and Bruno Sammartino
Personal Rushmore:
Hogan, Macho Man, Undertaker, Bret Hart
Honorable mention: Sting and Andre the Giant
Hogan, Flair, and Cena or Rock. The reason it's not Cena and Rock is that Vince has to be on there. Man changed wrestling, for better and for worse, forever, was an amazing on-screen character and is defintely one of the most recognizable wrestling figures ever. He's also easily the most financially successful individual in wrestling of all time.
Honorable mentions are Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Macho and Stone Cold.
Personal favorites is really hard. But I always liked Big Show. Foley would probably be there. And throw HHH and HBK up there, too! I obviously have a bias for a certain era of wrestling.
Same here. Like I said, I’ll be watching 80s through ruthless aggression til I die. No issues with Vince. Won’t be inducted until he dies now. Unless they give him the Benoit treatment but it sounds like all the gross stuff he did was consensual
I don't think Vince ever wanted to go into the HOF and has famously said he doesn't want to be mentioned during speeches. People will probably be fine with him in 20 years, but who knows if he'll still be around. And the gross stuff is pretty gross if you assume it's true. WWE sure acted like it's true, but who knows.
I like the current WWE stuff a lot. Are you keeping up? I'm hoping the Vince stuff fades off Brock because I really want Brock vs Gunther before Brock can't wrestle anymore!
Definitely gross but it seems like she agreed to do it for money.
I still watch and enjoy but 80s to Ruthless Aggression is my sweet spot for wrestling. For me personally nothing will be better than that time frame. Wrestling now is much better than pg era and I like the collaboration with TNA. Imagine if the appearance of Hall at Nitro was actually a collaboration between WCW and WWF
Even if it was all consenting adults, it's so beyond the pail disgusting that it's best for him to be gone until everyone forgets.
I should pick a start date and just watch from there. I relived a lot of stuff with OSW a few years back and that was a lot of fun. I don't know how it would have worked if the Outsiders were originally a collaboration. Probably not as well. Remember how awfully the WCW invasion was handled?
