Bruce Prichard named the four creative minds from wrestling history that he would put on the Mount Rushmore of creative minds from wrestling during the latest edition of Something to Wrestle.
His final four ended up being Vince McMahon, Pat Patterson, Eddie Graham, and Dusty Rhodes.
“Vince and Pat, at the top of the list. You have to go back to the fundamentals in many ways of the business and Eddie Graham was credited with so much, that you look at Dusty, you look at Bill Watts, you look at the guys that came out of there, and Eddie Graham, they point to Eddie Graham and Roy Shire as being these creative geniuses that had so much influence over bookers and over owners and territories throughout the years. I think Eddie would have to be on that.”
“So probably Eddie, Dusty, Vince, and Pat. I think Vince is as close to genius, he’s the Walt Disney of our time, and I think Pat Patterson is one of the most intuitive and innovative people I’ve ever met in my entire life, and three of those guys I got to work with, so that comes from experience, and Eddie Graham on reputation alone, and influence.”
