I'm assuming this would be for a promotion today so I'll go with:

Austin
The Rock
Ric Flair
Randy Savage

These guys are timeless characters. I don't think guys like Hogan or Andre would fit in 2021.

New Brunswick
Heels
Kevin Owens (can work with anybody and make it good)
Randy Orton-self explanatory

Baby faces
The Rock
Undertaker

There’s so many talented guys to choose from you really can’t go wrong with this list

I know it's subjective but what is self explanatory about Randy Orton of all people?

The guy has been great at what he does for what 20+ years…he’s a phenomenal heel and gets the psychology of it (a theme of my 4 picks) he’s had to do stupid stuff for WWE and still made it decent

I just think he's been good or solid for a long time but I don't think he's really great or phenomenal at any particular aspect of pro wrestling.

Solid in the ring but nothing special, good charisma, decent actor, boring talker.

I was not expecting to see Orton listed. There's no real criteria though and people like different crap in wrestling. In my eyes he's no Naked Mideon but maybe he brings value for others.

Yes I didn't mean to attack the guy's opinion, was just giving my own.

Eh I was interested in hearing why Orton would be there as well, makes sense to me to ask. I really can't stand Orton myself, though inevitably some are big fans. I can't stand Cena either though I maybe somewhat understand why some people have listed him. Now if someone manages to list Orton, Cena, and Batista I'll really have an existential crisis on my hands.

Not to be confused with my "Mt. Rushmore" (which is a different arguement IMO).

Hogan
Flair
Austin
Michaels

Hogan and Austin are my two obvious choices. They have to be the two most popular wrestlers ever during their eras.

Undertaker because of his WM streak. People were more invested in his matches later on in his run although they were not for a title and everyone knew that it was not going to be a great match.

Andre the Giant because people came from afar to see him. He was always a face during his whole run and he was treated almost more like a travelling sideshow that all wanted to see.
