The Undertaker names his Mount Rushmore of wrestling; omits Greatest of All Time

The Undertaker recently named his Mount Rushmore of wrestling. However, he omitted the Greatest of All Time from this list.

John Cena made his WWE debut a little over 20 years ago. Since then, he has become the Franchise Player of the company, as several big names, including The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, and Goldberg, left the promotion. He carried the sports entertainment juggernaut on his shoulders as he became the face of the company. This earned him the nickname 'Greatest of All Time' because of his legendary accomplishments and loyalty to the promotion. However, being the GOAT isn't enough to be on the list of The Undertaker's Mount Rushmore.

During a recent appearance on the Nightcap podcast, The Phenom was asked about his Mount Rushmore of wrestling. The WWE Hall of Famer named Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Ric Flair. However, he omitted John Cena from the list.

"So, again, I go back to who were the most, I guess, instrumental in the history of wrestling. And I put Andre The Giant on there. Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold. And the fourth, Ric Flair. I think those guys are synonymous with the history of our industry. Now, there's been guys that are better talkers, there are guys that have been better wrestlers. For guys that had impact, those are my four."

Triple H confirmed The Undertaker's new role in WWE

Taker is one of the most respected men in the WWE locker room. He was regarded as the locker room leader for many years. Even after retiring, The Deadman continues to remain involved in the company in some way possible.

After TripleMania XXXIII's massive success, Triple H shared a backstage video of himself talking about the event. He also revealed that Taker was one of the "driving forces" behind AAA, indicating that the latter has a new role in the company.

“If you would have told me 20 years ago that one of the big driving forces behind AAA in Mexico would be The Undertaker, it would be hard for me to sort of wrap my head around that," said Triple H.

It looks like The Undertaker is enjoying his life as a retired wrestler while still contributing to the industry.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
