WWE: 4 Superstars on the Mount Rushmore of the decade

In naming the four biggest and best WWE Superstars who made an impression in the company throughout the 2010’s, we’re naming the company’s Mount Rushmore of the decade.

This year, a lot of members within the wrestling community offered their opinions regarding who should be a part of the Mount Rushmore in overall wrestling history. Even future WWE Hall of Famer The Rock put his own two cents in last month on social media when the conversation brewed up again.

Talk about wrestling Mount Rushmore’s is a conversation that pops up every now and again – practically on a yearly basis at this point – and every time, it seems to get tougher to name which wrestlers in the history of the business made the biggest impact, especially as wrestling evolves and new names suddenly deserve a spot on that mountain.

Which is why as I endeavored to craft my own wrestling Mount Rushmore, I opted to do two specific things to make it a little easier to compile. One is constricting it to the WWE brand rather than all of wrestling and the other is constricting this list to talk about just the past decade of the 2010’s, from 2010 to 2019, of course.

My reasoning for listing the following wrestlers who I list is simple: I just looked at which names made an impression in a way that they shifted the conversation in wrestling, whether it be for their in-ring work, promos, pop culture entertainment presence, or all of the above. No need to factor in things like drawing power or anything like that.

Although, the first person we have to mention was a massive draw in his heyday and in some ways still is. He’s also one of the few names who’d still be listed here if this was an all time wrestling Mount Rushmore list, but in this decade alone, he especially stood out.
