The Undertaker was recently interviewed by Comicbook.com. During this, he was asked who was on his Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling. Here is what he said:
You got to have [Ric] Flair. You got to have [Hulk] Hogan. Stone Cold [Steve Austin]…. That fourth one’s tough. It could be Harley [Race]. It could be Dusty [Rhodes]. It could be Bruno [Sammartino]. And I base that on contributions to the business. Not so much if they were a great worker or this or that, but… Oh, I know my fourth, it’s Andre [The Giant]. I don’t know why I forgot Andre. So yeah, it would probably be Flair, Hogan, Stone Cold and Andre.
The Undertaker was also asked how he feels about fans putting him on their Mount Rushmore’s. Here is what he said:
Well, obviously I’m flattered and honored and my legacy is what it is and I guess that’s another one of those conversations of who’s better, Jordan or LeBron? In that conversation, I always put Kobe [Bryant] in too so… I’m flattered and obviously I know what my contributions to our industry is, but I think when you look at those four guys and I think they really captivated… I think Flair was the standard and then obviously when WWF took off, it was Hogan that was at the top, and then we had the drop off. And then when it came roaring back, it was Stone Cold. And then Andre is just the 8th Wonder of the World.
So I’m humbled and honored to even be in the conversation, but I think those are my four.
