Recently in an interview, the Immortal Hulk Hogan was asked which wrestlers he’d select to be featured on a wrestling version of Mount Rushmore. Here’s what the Hulkster had to say:
“Well brother, if we’re going to go that over all the decades, you got to go with Bruno. He laid out the ground rules for what wrestling fans love as a hero. You got to go with Bruno, and then, I mean there’s a lot of new guys right now that need to put on another 10 or 15 years and they can get there. You have to put Andre there. You definitely have to put Andre there. And then if I had to throw one more there, because he had such an influence and such a different view on this business, I’d out Stone Cold Steve Austin there.
“But then right after that, without a doubt you’ve got the Rock, whose just totally changing the dynamics of this business. I did 15 or 16 low budget movies. I cracked the door open for Hollywood. This guy just knocked the door wide open. I mean, he’s taken the whole world by storm. You could put the Rock up there right now, but then there’s also another guy, if we’re going to go with the real legends, a guy that’s still in the ring that has been around the sport for 25 years, a guy named Sting. So, you got Stone Cold Steve Austin, you got Sting, there’s so many. It’d be hard to do a Mt. Rushmore for wrestling.”
