WWE legend The Rock recently responded to a tweet made by B/R Wrestling, which talked about the Mount Rushmore of Pro-Wrestling, and included him, Ric Flair, The Undertaker, and Stone Cold Steve Austin in their version. The Great One proceeded to share his list, which consists of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Gorgeous George/Bruno Sammartino, and Steve Austin.

Pro-Wrestling's rich and storied history has seen a long list of in-ring greats come and go, with a rare few having made their mark on the squared circle like none of the others. Hogan and Flair were two of the biggest names in the business in the 1980s. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were WWE's flagbearers in the mid-90s, and the torch was soon passed to the likes of Stone Cold and The Rock as we approached the millenium. John Cena is regarded by many as the biggest Superstar of this century.
Picking four wrestlers from decades of Pro-Wrestling to create an all-time Mount Rushmore is quite a challenging task, but The Brahma Bull went ahead and shared his picks on Twitter.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
