AndrewTS Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 TokyoX: Well, there are lots of wrestlers who claim Venice Beach, California as their hometown... There aren't any Floridians so far, but they've got... Hogan Savage Rock Of course, I'd be ashamed of Scott Hall.
Lil' Bitch Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 NEVADA: State Pride: Rico State Shame = Kevin Nash and Sean Morley, those fucking fakers! State Neutral = The Godfather, he's from LV, but I didn't really care much for him.
MillenniumMan831 Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 OHIO Pride: Al Snow Perry Saturn (minus that whole sex with a mop thing) Brian Pillman I'm sure there are more, but that's for now. Come on, some Ohioans help me out. Do the Beverly Brothers count from Shaker Heights, OH? If they count, so does Dastardly Danny Doring from Pepper Pike, Ohio (which is 5 minutes from my house). I'm 99.9% sure that was a gimmicked hometown. Perennial Wrestling Challenge jobber Ron Cumberledge was also from Cleveland. Plus, The Bashams from Columbus (Why wouldya gimmick that hometown?) SHAME: Jackie Gayda from Cuyahoga Falls, OH (Just pose for the pics sweetheart) Shaniqua from Cincinnatti, OH (No worse now than plain ol Linda Miles)

DerangedHermit Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 Long Island... Well we have Foley and JERICHO. Although you Canadians like to deny it, Y2J was a Long Islander first. As for shame, how about Brian Gerwirtz. Speaking of Brian, coming from the "It's a Small World" file, I actually had the same driver's ed instructor that he did. Even bigger shame for Long Island: Vinny Ru. Also, I think you can add both Dudleys to the Long Island one. Buh-Buh went to Half Hollow Hills (Dix Hills/Melville), and D-Von was born in Huntington.
cmclennan Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 Nope, Chris Jericho=Born In Winnipeg, Raised in Vancouver, fathered by Hockey Hall Of Famer Ted Irvine~! GO CANADA GO~!
Guest MideonMark Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Yeah ok I live in N.Ireland, but fuck it I'll add mine anyway- PRIDE- Dave 'Motherfucking' Finlay and well thats about it. SHAME- ... Umm yeah, Finlay's the only wrestler I know from N.Ireland, maybe theres more, I dunno.
DerangedHermit Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Nope, Chris Jericho=Born In Winnipeg, Raised in Vancouver, fathered by Hockey Hall Of Famer Ted Irvine~! GO CANADA GO~! Wrong. He was born in NY, even though IMDB lists it as Winnipeg. Another thing says: Although he wasn't born there, he was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and was married there.
DerangedHermit Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 (edited) Also the matriarch of the Hart family, Helen Hart was born in Brooklyn and raised on the Island. Probably before the Native Americans had settled on the Island. /lawler-ized She also met Stu Hart in Long Beach. Edited August 17, 2003 by DerangedHermit

They failed. *rimshot* Oh, another Pennsylvanian...T-Rantula! We've had a Texan who didn't do a full list...soo... Pride ------ Steve Austin ? Undertaker ? HBK ? Booker T THE GUERREROS! Stan Henson Shame -------- Bradshaw Oh--Tokyo--definite pride for you--Rey! Edited August 17, 2003 by AndrewTS
Fökai Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 HAWAII. A good amount of wrestlers grew up/were raised here - and of course, a solid pair of wrestlers were born here. PRIDE: --The Rock, aka Don Muraco (currently lives here). --The Rock II, aka Dwayne Johnson. (born in CALI, moved here). --Mr. Fuji (born here.) --TAIYO KEA! (born here.) and of course... RICKY MOTHERFUCKING STEAMBOAT! (Steamboat, real name Richard Blood, WAS in fact born here.) I'll find more as I do research.
Guest Askewniverse Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 (edited) Oh, another Pennsylvanian...T-Rantula! I'd put him on the shame list. Yet another Pennsylvanian: Larry Zbyszko (I think he was billed as being from Pittsburgh). I'm not sure on Steven Richards. Just in the WWE alone, I've heard two different hometowns for him: Philadelphia, PA and Waterbury, CT. Edited August 17, 2003 by Askewniverse
AndrewTS Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Yet another Pennsylvanian: Larry Zbyszko (I think he was billed as being from Pittsburgh). Shame! Yeah, a living legend--whom no one has heard of. HHH opted to emulate him as well as Ric Flair.
Guest Mad the Swine Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Tennessee can also claim Ric Flair. Naitch was born in Memphis.
Guest T®ITEC Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 I'm pretty sure that Waylon Mercy's out in Provo, so I guess that he's a pride of Utah. Furthermore, he's got to be the only one from here.
Guest KJ Brackish Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Don't forget about Derek Jannetty and Jason Ray!!!!!!!!!! w00t w00t... Utah Power.... DFA
Lil' Bitch Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 gail gim Isn't Al Snow from TX though? And isn't the Rock from Miami, FL? Or should I ask didn't he at least used to live there?
teke184 Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Louisiana Pride- Jazz Dr. Death Steve Williams (He's adopted Shreveport, LA, as his home) Shame- Rodney Mack Karl Malone Master P Lash Laroux I'm sure there are more but I don't want to add people who were just associated with the state for a long time (JYD) or people who may be from the area that I can't confirm (Jake "The Snake" Roberts) Note: Found out Jake was born in Texas but I think he probably lived in Louisiana a significant amount of time besides his run in Mid-South, as his mother and half-brother lived there for years.
BorneAgain Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Long Island... Well we have Foley and JERICHO. Although you Canadians like to deny it, Y2J was a Long Islander first. Page 79 of Have a Nice Day! Mick clearly states that he was born in Bloomington, Indiana, but he was indeed raised in Long Island.
{''({o..o})''} Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Minnesota Pride: Brock Lesnar Molly Holly Vern Gagne Jerry F'n Lynn 1-2-3 Kid Mr. Perfect Ric Flair at one point Shelton Benjamin went to college here Shame: X-Pac Even though I've been friends with him before
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 California Pride Ken Shamrock The Rock - born in Hayward, Ca. Rey Mysterio Jr.- sort of Shame If I ever become a wrestler.
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 I need some help Who has wisconsin produced other than Ed "Strangler" Lewis and Da Crusher?
WrestlingDeacon Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 Isn't Al Snow from TX though? Nope, born and bread in Lima, Ohio. He might have been billed as from Texas at one time, but he's never lived there. My friend's girlfriend is from Lima and knows him along with a lot of his family that lives there. Think about it, why would anyone purposely move to Lima, Ohio?
cawthon777 Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 WASHINGTON Pride: American Dragon Spanky Shame: ... Uhm... I have no idea. Greg Valentine was billed as being from Seattle.
cawthon777 Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 (edited) Minnesota Pride: Brock Lesnar Molly Holly Vern Gagne Jerry F'n Lynn 1-2-3 Kid Mr. Perfect Ric Flair at one point Shelton Benjamin went to college here Shame: X-Pac Even though I've been friends with him before You can add Rick Rude, Tom Zenk, Brady Boone, John Nord, Barry Darsow, and Nikita Koloff to that list. They along with Perfect all went to the same high school. Might want to check this out: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Arena/9...93/class_76.htm I'm fairly certain the LOD are from MN, if not they spent a considerable amount of time there before breaking into the biz. There's always the former governor of MN, Bob Backlund, as well as Scott Norton. Edited August 19, 2003 by cawthon777
cawthon777 Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Virginia Pride: Magnum TA (Virginia Beach) Shame: Tony Atlas (Roanoke) Maven (Charlottesville) Any others?
Youth N Asia Posted August 19, 2003 Author Report Posted August 19, 2003 Maven's a shame? I'm starting to like him actually
MARTYEWR Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Ontario Pride: Edge Christian Val Venis Trish Stratus Lance Storm (born in Ontario, moved to Alberta) Gail Kim Shame: Test( From my hometown, no less) Too early to judge Gail Kim in my opinion, but the rest I agree with. I think you should probably add a new category: Worse Than Shame. In that category for our proud province: Tiger Ali Singh (assuming he was born in Ontario).
lomasmoney Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 well seeing as i dont feel that scott steiner has shamed the great state of michigan i would have to put him in the fame along with of course rick steiner, kevin nash( local legend what the hell), zach gowen, the sheik
Adam Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Hey everyone, I win hands down: AUSTRALIA Shame: NATHAN F'N JONES! I can't believe no Aussies have looked at this thread yet.
