Whomever had the bright idea of doing a Tony Hinchcliff roast of WrestleMania should probably be fired. WWE is a publicly traded company. It's not like a typical roast where actors and celebrities are independent of their movie studios. WWE talent may be "contractors" but they represent the company and cracking racist jokes while under the "Roast of WrestleMania" banner isn't a good look for investors or fans, especially when WWE caters to families.

The Nature Boy deserves to be there, but regardless of personal feelings, you have to add Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan.

My list would be Hogan, Flair, Austin, Cena...
  • Hogan - He was man who was at the forefront of wrestling when it went mainstream in the 1980s.
  • Flair - The face of wrasslin who was making money everywhere but the northeast when Hogan and Co were exploding nationwide.
  • Austin - I struggled and almost put the Rock here instead because Austin had a short career on top (Rock too when you think about it) but...Austin took wrestling to a whole other level when he was face to face with Tyson and McMahon. Made wrestling mainstream again to the point that WWE went public during the Attitude Era.
  • Cena - Dude carried the company/industry on his back for so long. Hard not to have him there.
Andre the Giant was an attraction, but I wouldn't put him on Mt. Rushmore. He'd be on a different mountain along with Undertaker.

Agreed, I'm sure some dumbass whiteboy had the idea to have this MAGA "comedian" crack race and sexual abuse jokes.
They probably saw the Tom Brady roast and thought it would be a good idea to do the same. I'm sure WWE will never try anything like this again.

Honestly, WWE packed way too many events into this WrestleMania weekend/week and hopefully they learn and cut some of the stuff out moving forward.
I had four straight days of wrestling with Smackdown, both nights of WM, and RAW and I was worn the fuck out just from that.
I can't imagine the folks that also went to the NXT PLE and NXT show on Tuesday, among other events.

Yep, that's the right list there.
Austin goes in place of Rock b/c they both pretty much co-existed during the same period and Austin had a bigger impact on the business while Rock had the bigger career outside of wrestling.
