Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has left an impeccable mark in the eyes of almost all of the audience. Hailing down as one of the greatest men to ever step inside the squared circle, fans kept him in high regard. However, this is not the case with all the viewers.
The WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, was recently invited to the set of The Breakfast Club Power podcast. Talking about various things, the two also discussed Ric Flair’s list of his Mount Rushmore. Shocking to many, Dwayne Johnson failed to be on the prestigious list by ‘The Nature Boy.’
“He would be, except he didn’t stay long enough. I think part of Mount Rushmore is longevity. It’s hard to be really good and Rock was great, but he took off,” said the 16-time world champion. Dwayne Johnson might have earned many things after going Hollywood but failed to secure a spot on the WWE Legend’s list.

However, the WWE HOF’er did not fail to acknowledge the feats that The Rock has earned in his career run. He put The Rock on his Mount Rushmore for his “interview skills and everything else.” Being quite close to the Jumanji star, Flair praised the qualities that he possessed. “He just had that unbelievable amount of charisma. God! What a great guy,” he added.
Did Dwayne Johnson name Ric Flair on his Mount Rushmore?
Just like The Nature Boy, Dwayne Johnson had his set of people out on Mount Rushmore. However, choosing four out of the never-ending list of talents was not an easy task for The Great One. He has given names to different people on his Mount Rushmore on different occasions.

The Rock’s first list came out in 2019 in reply to a tweet by BRWrestling. The Rock named Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair to be the legends on his list. His other list came on X (then Twitter) in 2021, where he replaced Bruno Sammartino and Gorgeous George with The Undertaker, Pat Patterson and Jackie Fargo.

In another list, he named Randy Savage, Buddy Rogers and Dusty Rhodes in place of Gorgeous George. Despite The Rock being confused for the fourth legend, he always had Ric Flair on his list. It would be quite heartbreaking for The Great One to not stand out on Mount Rushmore on the list of his most respected WWE Hall Of Famer.
