Shawn Michaels finally revealed his wrestling Mount Rushmore during a recent interview with Going Ringside, and his picks are a nod to the classic era that shaped his career. When asked to name his top four, the WWE Hall of Famer admitted it wasnt an easy call.
Yeah, I guess. I mean, I dont know. To me, Ive always felt like theres I dont know theyre just your personal favorites, I think, Michaels said. But I, yeah, Ive got a few I guess, but mine, you know, date back to usually the mid 80s or late 70s.
Pressed for specific names, Michaels listed his top three right away: I always put Terry Funk in there. I usually put Harley Race in there, Ric Flair. But that fourth spot? That was a tough one for the Heartbreak Kid.
That fourth ones always a little tough for me. It sort of goes to Tully Blanchard because thats who I grew up with or Wahoo McDaniels, he explained.
Unlike some other wrestling icons, Michaels didnt go for mainstream megastars or current-day headliners. Instead, he chose the wrestlers who influenced him early in his career the ones who shaped the wrestler he would eventually become.
