why is mount rushmore famous??

The Black Hills (mount Rushmore) are famous because they are (were?) part of the Lakota Indian reservation. Eight years after signing that treaty, gold was discovered and the rush was on. They now have the heads of 4 US presidents carved onto them, presidents who were responsible for some of the worst atrocities imaginable against Native American peoples.

RE:

why is mount rushmore famous??

Because it is a mountain who's summit has the carved faces of four American Presidents. Each of them were important to the history of the United States. George Washington, the "founder of our country"; Thomas Jefferson, the writer of the Declaration of Independence; Abraham Lincoln, President during the American Civil War; and Theodore Roosevelt, who was instrumental in the development of American foreign policy. The statue took years to carve by dynamite.

Because it has the heads of 4 American presidents carved into it: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

Only the greatest of the great would be on the Mount Rushmore of Wrestling, therefore these are my picks: 1st face: Hulk Hogan Hulk Hogan is the answer as to why professional wrestling was ever in the mainstream and gained national and international publicity. Back in the mid-1980s, pro wrestling was still territorially based around the nation. That all changed when Vince McMahon's WWF boasted around its new World Champion, Hulk Hogan and premiere Wrestlemania in 1985. Once most of the territories were rushed out of business or sold, pro-wrestling was recognized by everyone and more specifically, so was Hulk Hogan. The guy was never a great wrestler but he was a showman. His interviews were as entertaining as anything ever seen before. His match-by-match form of "Hulking up" would get everyone in the crowd on their feet and joining in. 2nd face: Stone Cold. Steve Austin is the sole reason why WWE is still in business today. In the mid-1990s the WWF was at a crossroads, business was down and WCW was beating the hell out of 'em. It was at this point in 1996 that a guy by the name of Steve Austin took off like a rocket ship. With this little phrase, wrestling would never be the same: "Austin 3:16 said I just whooped your ***." He put professional wrestling back on the map and single handily made WWE Chairman Vince McMahon a billionaire. Steve Austin could be number one on this list but without Hulk Hogan, Austin would never have had the opportunity to succeed in WWE. 3rd face: Ric Flair. Ric Flair is called the best ever by many, but not me. You should know the top two spots by now but back to Flair. The man has been able to sustain that aura for over 20 years. A member of the Four Horseman, helped create the use of factions. However, best known of Flair are his terrific matches with some of wrestlings best. His series of matches with Ricky Steamboat in the NWA are recognized as the best ever. In 1975, however, his future career was in doubt. He was involved in a plane crash which killed some of the passengers and broke Flair's back in three places. After being told he'd never wrestle again, he worked his way back and went on to become one of the best of all-time. Whether it's the dirty tricks he's patented or the flips and flops he's made famous, Flair is wrestling to most people. 4th face: Shawn Michaels. Of course, is and will always be connected with Bret Hart. Like his counterpart, Michaels started his wrestling career as a member of a tag-team. But the potential soon turned into hard results and he rocketed into super-stardom. Michaels had that rare quality to connect with the fans and flat out give them a show they'd never stop talking about. Say what you will about the man but he is one of the all-time greats. Stories have been told about what a terrible person he was and has since found religion. His career was thought to be over after a back injury sustained during a match with the Undertaker in 1998. After losing to Steve Austin at Wrestlemania the next year, nobody expected to ever see him wrestle again. Three years later, he surprised them all when he returned to fight Triple H at SummerSlam. Since then, Michaels has gone on to have some of the best matches of this short century.
