Shawn Michaels reveals his wrestling mount rushmore, leaves out familiar faces
WWE legend Shawn Michaels has named his personal Mount Rushmore of pro wrestling, and his choices have sparked plenty of discussion. Known for his trailblazing career, unforgettable matches, and long-standing influence on the sport, Michaels opted for a list that reflects his roots rather than mainstream consensus. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a recent interview with Going Ringside, the two-time Hall of Famer revealed the names that shaped his love for professional wrestling. 'To me, I've always felt like they're just your personal favourites,' Michaels said. 'Mine usually date back to the mid-80s or late-70s.' Shawn Michaels chooses icons from wrestling's golden era Michaels listed four names, with a fifth as an honorable mention - all of whom made their mark well before WWE became a global juggernaut. His Mount Rushmore includes Terry Funk, Harley Race, and Ric Flair, all known for their toughness, longevity, and influence in the territorial era of wrestling. The fourth spot, according to HBK, is a toss-up between Tully Blanchard, a key member of the Four Horsemen, and Wahoo McDaniel, a respected name in regional promotions. 'That fourth one's always a little tough for me,' Michaels admitted. 'It sort of goes to Tully Blanchard because that's who I grew up with, or Wahoo McDaniel.' Going Ringside Ep. 125: Shawn Michaels returns What caught the attention of many fans was who Michaels didn't name. Despite being best friends with Triple H, and working alongside him both on-screen in D-Generation X and off-screen in WWE creative, Michaels did not include him on the list. Both men have played key roles in shaping WWE's present and future. Triple H is now the head of creative for the main roster, while Michaels oversees the NXT brand as Senior Vice President of Talent Development. The omission seems to underline Michaels' point, this list is about personal inspiration, not accolades or friendships. Since retiring from in-ring competition, Michaels has taken on a vital backstage role in WWE, nurturing the next generation of superstars through NXT. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His creative input and eye for talent continue to shape the company's long-term vision. Under his guidance, NXT has produced breakout stars who have gone on to thrive on the main roster and even internationally. Michaels is widely credited with instilling old-school fundamentals while adapting to the demands of modern wrestling, a balance few can manage as effectively. Despite leaving himself off the list, there's little doubt that Michaels has earned his place on countless Mount Rushmores compiled by fans, peers, and historians alike. His impact as a performer, mentor, and architect of WWE's future cements his legacy as one of the most influential figures the wrestling world has ever seen.
