Ric Flair excludes The Rock & John Cena from his WWE Mount Rushmore

Ric Flair has named his Mount Rushmore of WWE athletes in a recent interview, with the Nature Boy picking his four greats.

In a lot of sports, deciding on the Mount Rushmore of athletes is a thankless task, but it is easier than just trying to name your greatest of all time (GOAT) with you having to narrow your choice down to four rather than picking just one out.

WWE has had a plethora of undeniable greats, so picking four out over the decades of Superstar after Superstar is never easy.

It’s almost impossible to pick out just four, with plenty of different combinations you could go with, but one man that knows the Superstars better than most is Ric Flair.

He recently caught up with Chris Van Vliet, covering a range of topics such as the major story in the WWE this week, Vince McMahon’s retirement.

Van Vliet also asked Flair a few questions to make separate YouTube shorts for his clips channel, asking him who was on his Mount Rushmore.

The Nature Boy said: “Austin, Hogan, ‘Taker and Shawn Michaels, you could put The Rock on there too. It’s interchangeable. Probably the best worker of all time is Shawn Michaels. The biggest personality of all time would be The Rock. The biggest draw of all time would be Steve and you can’t ever leave Hulk off because he drew a ton of money. It was a different time frame but it was sold out every night.”

So, even the great Ric Flair couldn’t narrow his down to just four, he had to name five. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels made his initial Mount Rushmore before throwing The Rock in there too to interchange with them.

However, the one definite was Hulk Hogan given what he did for the brand and how he sent the organisation to new heights with his success
