Who is on the Mount Rushmore of Wrestling list for Diamond Dallas Page?
The WWE Hall of Fame legend recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet for an interview on his INSIGHT podcast, during which he named Ric Flair, Jake Roberts, Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin as those who would be on his personal Mount Rushmore of Wrestling list.
“Oh, yeah, of course, gotta be Flair, you know? Gotta be Jake. You gotta have Dusty up there because it’s, you know, I just thought he was unbelievable," DDP said. "And I will put up five guys, put Hogan and Austin up there, you know? It was like those guys did a lot, just monstrous for the business. Austin was such and still is today."
Diamond Dallas Page continued, "He could go back there tomorrow and be the most important guy in the company. And do s**t that he did with KO [Kevin Owens]. Outside the ring, stomping and bumping. He’s freakin Austin that’s [Austin still being a top 5 merchandise seller for WWE] why he has to be on that Mount Rushmore. When we were on the road together in the beginning, he won’t drive with many people. He’ll just do it…I remember going to Chattanooga when he lived here in Texas, and I don’t remember who I was driving with, but all I know is he just drove by me (DDP held up a middle finger to reenact what Austin was doing while driving by him)."
