Guest BobBacklundRules Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Do you live anywhere in Minnesota? I remember reading Tom Zenk's site, and how so many graduates went on to become famous pro wrestlers, or at least relatively famous... Yeah I live north of the Twin Cities, Minnesota is probably the biggest producer of wrestlers besides Canada. I'll see how many I can name because I can, Bob Backlund, Tom Zenk, Shelton Benjamin, Brock Lesnar (my dad has also met him at an amature wrestling event at CHAMPLIN PARK HIGH SCHOOL), X-Pac (my friends have toilet papered his house because he acts like a bastard to them), Curt Henning, Jesse Ventura, Bronko Nagurski, Jerry Lynn, Rick Rude, Barbarian, Nikita Koloff, Brady Boone, Eddie Sharkey (I've met him), Lenny Lane, Verne Gagne and I'm sure there's more.

Well it is unfair to compare a state to a country for producing wrestlers, so let's just say that Minnisota produces the most wrestlers per capita. Although Calgary does rival it...

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2003 My Dad watched wrestling WAY back when, but he wouldn't give it two seconds of his time nowdays. Although he did laugh a little when he saw the Santa Claus match on RAW Dec. 01 between Tajiri/Bubba. He saw it when he came into the room I was watching it in. My Mom saw Andre the Giant walking down the street in Houston years ago when the WWF was in town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
