V2 Wrestling Mount Rushmore - voting. UPDATE

Mount Rushmore.  South Dakota.  An iconic image of 4 US presidents immortalized forever in the mountain face.  Barring a catastrophic natural disaster they should stand there for centuries.  No one will forget the names Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln.

So, if you were to create your own Mount Rushmore for professional wrestling, who would be in it?  Its not as simple a question as you think, especially when you can only choose 4 people.  We all have our own criteria, and we all have an opinion on what is the most important factor; be it drawing power, technical ability, promo skills or impact and legacy.  Picking only 4 is difficult, and there will be some excellent, deserving people left off the list.

So I wanted to find out what V2's Mount Rushmore of Wrestling would look like, so Im putting it to you guys.  Simply PM me your top 4 in order.  First place pick will get 4 points, 2nd will get 3, 3rd will get 2 and 4th will get 1.  Once I have received everyones votes I'll tally the scores and the 4 highest make it onto the mountain.

There isnt any criteria.  Any generation, any promotion, any one.  Male, female, promoter, manager, commentator, anyone is eligible as long as you feel they deserve to be immortalized.

I'll leave voting open till Thursday so it gives everyone plenty time to think and vote, then on Friday I'll compile the list and we'll find out who V2 believes should be forever remembered by the wrestling world.

Have a think, and thank you!

Tbf if it's the V2 Mount Rushmore it should probably be

Yoshi TATSU!!
Heath Slater cleaning up the debris
'Strong and Fast' Big E Langston
Dr Gregory House

Vince pulling 4 different faces

Damn...I couldn't pick just 4. Would need more of a mountain range. However, my shortlist of nominees would include:


Sting
Undertaker
Eric Bischoff
Ric Flair
The Dudleys / Team 3D
Jeff Hardy
Austin Aries
Bad Influence (Daniels / Kazarian)
Beer Money
AJ Styles
Low Ki
Beautiful People
EC3

Could we have 3 or 4 Mount Smackmores?

Angelina Love and smokewheel pizza.
Sting's painted face
Yoshi Tatsu's entrance music
Jim Ross BAH GAWD!
Low Ki's nationality
Blue Meanie's military timekeeping
Mickie James's underwear shopping

Which of those is serious Dyre?

Feel mines the most realistic if it ever actually happened

Brimstone, Brimstone, Brimstone and Brimstone!

Aw, behave yourself Ziggy!

Okay, I'll add your (sort of) namesake as well if it'll make you happy.

Probably because Vince is the only person actually rich enough to make it happen.

MetalMotty wrote:Brimstone, Brimstone, Brimstone and Brimstone!

Brimstone's custom made boots most certainly.

lionbloodeverywhere
Pauline
Time_4_a_Change
Holymilky

Done.

This was meant to be our greatest people in wrestling and has instead turned to old jokes. This is what v2 is all about!

'Angelina Love and smokewheel pizza'

Swear this goes back to old 606

I dont like to speak too negative about people but I hated that Kumquat.

WE WANT PAULINE
WE WANT PAULINE

Was it Time_4_a_Change that did that big countdown to when he was arriving, and nobody give a sh1t!

Bit harsh on Che Guerrero

Yup.

Personally I think the Naughty Nags 9 should be on Mount Rushmore, we wummed the holy hell out of the old 606 boards back in the day.

Anyone know what happened to Lord Beer?

How about Velvet Sky's tube tops?

Oooh, forgot about Mick Foley...or should it be Cactus Jack...can't decide...

The people want what the people want Ziggy. Even your awesome powers can't change that.

Im still taking this seriously so get your votes in!

If we are gonna be serious....
My personel choices would be
Hogan
Austin
Rock
Warrior
But thinking about it objectively
Flair
Hogan
Austin
Michaels

Hogan
Vince
Austin
Rock

Only wrestlers?

Flair, Hogan, Bret, Austin

Nope he didn't commit to just wrestlers, stated promoters and commentators are fine.

Ok then back to my original vote

Vince, Vince, Vince, Vince ......and Vince a fifth time because the original Rushmore wasn't big enough

Pauline painted his face - never to be seen again! Presumed dead

Okay, narrowing it down, I'd go for:

Sting
Undertaker
Austin Aries
The Wolves

First two should be self-explanatory for their iconic status.

Aries because he's the best all-rounder I've ever seen. Could compete in either the X Division or Heavyweight, one of the best move sets ever and was also a great character.

The Wolves simply because in pure wrestling ability, they're the best tag team I've ever seen, although character-wise they're a bit vanilla. If I was going with characters I'd have gone for The Dudleys / Team 3D.

Really? I heard he was given a fake Rolex, inducted into the 606v2 Hall of Fame and quietly went off to join a rival forum.

Last call for votes! Votes will be counted and compiled tomorrow!

Either post them in this thread or PM them to me, thanks to everyone who has voted so far.

I vote for.....

Mr H
King/Lord Beer
David Tails
Y2D2
YI Man

And any other regulars in the Nau9ghty Na9s Head! (apologies for the ones i forgot, my brain isnt what it used to be)

Also....Wayne!! Remember that guy....what a t!t!

There was me Scott, you know,the guy who made the flippin site. That's still here whilst most of those reprobates have gone off and got lives or something (or possibly jail time).
But you go and give a spot to those chumparoonies.

In fairness Hero, its only because of your new found grown up demeanour, that i forgot you were associated with us mavericks!

I was in there as well but everyone hates me now.

Fun fact - I instigated Big Show Friday!

It's okay, the damage is done, you're dead to me now.

Then you too get a hearty round of applause from me.....

What are you guys views on wumming your own site for a laugh?

Yes but the ultimate worrier didn't get about 20 people temporarily banned! I remember big show Friday started off as my protest against lionbloodeverywhere. I made a couple of ridiculous satirical posts in his style about big show and went to a meeting. When I came back, the whole section was in meltdown and bans were being thrown around left right and centre!

Shame we didnt keep a link to these!!!

God that site annoyed me, I went about two years where they witch hunted me all due to the fact that originally they fecked up on my log in and I created a duplicate account to bring it to their attention, so many accounts I had to go through and they started blocking my IP, ending up having to send comments to other people to add onto the site!

My favourite thread was the one that turned into a homoerotic play on wrestlers catchphrases crossed with a dear Deirdre column! I think it was a big show thread ironically!

It's because you went all 'authority' on us and changed your username to your actual name. Corporate Hobo.

Lost count how many times you and Hero PM'd me telling me off!

I stayed true Mr H, no sell out of name for me.

It was 97 times.

It wasn't corporate hobo who screwed you. Mr H screwed Mr H.

That's true Maccs, sorry I mean Hero, you stayed true to your name.

Hero wrote:I stayed true Mr H, no sell out of name for me.

Pffft you'll always be Maccs to me

That only changed originally because I was banned! Wasn't like I reverted to being Mr Hudson on the site etc.

I'm glad you didn't call yourself that.

Heh - that was a good one.


Random opinion: I think Adam Hero would be a great wrestling name.

Random opinion: I think Hobo Davey sums him up

Hobo Davey???

Just so you know, I wasn't trying to suck up to our moderating overlords...it really did just strike me that it would make a good name.

Plus...
