Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, The Rock & John Cena, plain and simple. I completely adhere to the supports for Bruno Sammartino, but the other four transcended beyond wrestling as legitimate global icons of pop culture and became household names.

If you are taking EVERYTHING into account (wrestling ability, drawing power, career longevity, accomplishments, etc.) I would have to go with the following:
Hulk Hogan Ric Flair Undertaker Stone Cold Steve Austin
Honorable Mentions:
HBK - strong wrestling ability, career longevity, but never got to that next level of fame that transcended wrestling Cena - Could replace one of those four eventually The Rock - his wrestling career really wasn't THAT long Triple H - same problems as HBK
In terms of who I would put on my personal Mt. Rushmore, it would be:
John Cena The Rock Hulk Hogan Stone Cold Steve Austin

I'm not a huge Jericho fan but I only see two mentions here (one by myself). Has there ever been a more consistent performer in wrestling for the last 25 years?

Jericho will always be one of the Goats but I dont think he makes the cut whether that be bc he was in an era of superstars or what but he is the most versatile performer of all time I think. He's been in damn near every promotion.

I don't see how people are putting more than one person per era aside Austin and Rock. Nobody was bigger than either of them with the exception of Hogan and after them is clearly John Cena. That's just facts. These are household names through their generations and men who have transcended wrestling to become much larger than anything and anyone in wrestling. The only argument that makes sense is Bruno for being the longest reigning Champion of all time or Undertaker for having such a long storied career but neither of them had the impact of the others let alone transcended wrestling as a whole. It's really hard to compare the older generations to the current state of the business. In Bruno's day it would have been impossible to have a national company. The technology just wasn't there, nevermind how the NWA had the country carved up into territories.

Vince McMahon Jr: The creator and innovator Bruno Sammartino: The beginning draw Hulk Hogan: The golden age draw The Undertaker: The greatest all-around performer of all time
This is just my opinion

Everyone will have a different opinion, and different inclusion criteria. Its also tough to choose 4 all-time representatives. I'd have to go
Andre Hogan Flair Vince
Although there's a strong argument for Sammartino, Thesz, Gotch, Strangler Lewis, so many others...then who do they replace? Its so subjective you'll never find a quorum.
