The Undertaker, one of the greatest creations in wrestling history is considered one of the best wrestlers of all time. A gimmick that last over 30 years and one of the most respected in the industry. The things he could do at his size such makes him the most athletic big men of all time. The "Dead Man" recently gave his Mount Rushmore of big men in wrestling history on his six feet under podcast.

The Undertaker, who stood 6’ 10 and over 300 pounds was an intricate part of the WWE. He won his first championship against Hulk Hogan. Reinventing himself as the American Bad Ass, winning the championship again under a different gimmick and had the longest winning streak at wrestle mania. He once told a story about teaming with Viscera just so he did't have to wrestle the 6'9 480 big daddy V.

It’s hard to disagree with the undertaker's list. And when it comes to mount Rushmore’s there is no wrong answer. I’m sure everyone knows I like to collect Hasbro WWE wrestling figures. The line had big men such as the Big Boss Man, Sid, Typhoon, Giant Gonzalez and Warlord. The LJN line had some great looking rubber figures in Big John Stud, The Junk Yard Dog and King Kong Bundy. Hasbro has many series of figures and you can check out my Hasbro collection in this article.
