When we talk about big wrestlers in WWE, the list is endless. From the Great Khali to the Big Show, the WWE Universe has seen so much that it can’t forget the towering statures rocking the ring with their own brand of justice. But when we talk about the Undertaker, he certainly isn’t one of those giants but then he obviously was a figure you cannot resist.
In the latest trends of naming the Mount Rushmore of certain people, the Dead Man decided to call it a day with his choices being borne out in the open. So, who made it to the Phenom’s list? Well, his rumoured brother or let’s say someone who worked with him extensively on the brothers of Destruction storylines obviously made the list and he is Kane.
The other three were Vader, Yokozuna and Andre the Giant. What makes them so special, well obviously, their towering physiques and most importantly their brand of wrestling. One may keep on insisting that wrestling used to be pretty bland back in the days except Kane, but it was there nonetheless, and these are all big names.
Big Van Vader or simply Vader was an elemental part of NJPW, WCW, WWF, AJPW, and NOAH. He sparked a legacy like none other and his towering stature helped him build the reputation too. No wonder, he had a ‘big’ ahead of his ring name.
Yokozuna was one of the rare sumo wrestlers who got success in WWE and the primary reason for that was that he carried out the monstrous gimmick perfectly. There was no mistake whatsoever whenever he strode into the ring. Not only did he make his ring appearances for WWF, but he was also famous with NJPW as the Great Kokina.
Here is what Twitter had to say about Undertaker and his choice for Mount Rushmore
The Big Red Machine or Kane needs no separate introduction as he partnered alongside Taker for the Brothers of Destruction and have been his adversary too. The two shares a very special bond outside the ring too and they continue to be friends to this day.
Andre the Giant came from a pastoral village in France to being one of the leading figures in WWE. When Hulk Hogan put him through a body slam, the entire WWE Universe roared in unison. That is how good he was. Undertaker knew him well and no wonder, he features in the list too. Here is what Twitter had to say about the decision of featuring these stars in Undertaker’s Mount Rushmore.
Bam Bam Bigelow. Best big man.

I have to drop Vader for Nash. Although he had a questionable work ethic and a lot of injuries, Nash's financial impact on the business was night and day compared to Vader. And at the end of the day the wrestling business is about making money

Nah. It’s Andre, Vader, Bruiser Brody and The Undertaker. I understand he didn’t want to include himself, but he is totally on there. If you want to remove him, next man up would be Bam Bam Bigelow or Stan Hansen.
