In the history of pro wrestling, there have been several talented wrestlers who have come and gone but very few have made their mark in the ring. Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan were two of the biggest wrestlers in the era of 1980s while Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were WWE's significant superstars in the mid-90s.

By the turn of the century, the torch was passed on to 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Rock. Many also believe that John Cena is one of the biggest wrestling superstars of this century. With the WWE history filled with talented superstars, creating a Mount Rushmore of pro-wrestling by picking four wrestlers from different decades is not an easy task. 

The Rock's favourites

Some may disagree, but The Rock’s list has some serious star power. Hulk Hogan is among the most famous wrestlers of his time and he has revolutionized the industry in many ways. Similarly, Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino and Steve Austin have all carved out a niche for themselves in WWE and created a lasting legacy in the world of professional wrestling.

Earlier, B/R Wrestling had started a debate by publishing their list of Wrestling’s Mount Rushmore and invited netizens to share their opinion. The Rock joined the discussion, thanking the portal for initiating a fresh debate. He announced his list, explaining that he had created his list based on each star’s impact during their run on WWE.
