Recently, top stars like The Rock and The Undertaker named their own personal versions of a wrestling Mount Rushmore, but don't expect Bryan Danielson to follow suit any time soon.

AEW's technical wizard told the Dallas Morning News that he won't try to piece together his own. Why? Well, Danielson thinks it's an "impossible" thing to get right. Explaining, Bryan said that he'd be too tempted to name pro wrestlers that he's watching a lot of currently - that, he reckons, wouldn't really fit the Rushmore vibe.

So, "for posterity", he thinks it's for the best if he declines to answer questions like that and leaves Mount Rushmore chatter up to the fans.

Danielson laughed when he thought about some of the obscure workers he's enjoying at the moment. He thinks interviewers would be like, "...who?" if he named some of them (sadly, he didn't). Instead, the former WWE star is much more focused on cranking out in-ring bangers like the 60-minute draw he had with Hangman Page on AEW's recent 'Winter Is Coming' edition of Dynamite.

He's not interested in ringing off a list of legends.
