Worst hometown announcement ever?

[Epic Reine 0]

If you think the Ultimate Warrior hailing from "Parts Unknown" was bad, then check out the Patriots who were apparently from "WCW Special Forces"

 

Also, Monty Brown is apparently from "The Serengeti"

 

Can you think of any?

Wasn't Arachnaman from "Web City"?

[Ace309 0]

"WCW Special Forces."

How can you knock Demento's hometown?! It was AWESOME

No such thing exists. The cornier, the better.

As an indy ring announcer, I've had to invent a few hometowns on the spot. One time, we had this backyard dude who called himself Joker, so I sarcastically suggested the Arkham Asylum... dude loved it, ended up being announced from there for the next three months.

The Zodiac: "The Land of Yin & Yang"

 

Planet Stasiak

 

Isn't Trent Acid's "South Philadelphia, Japan" or some stupid shit like that?

The Shark: From 200,000 Leagues Under The Sea and the Great Barrier Reef.

 

Black Blood (a.k.a Billy Jack Haynes in a mask in 1991 WCW): And I quote, "A Little town in France".

I hope you got some bonus pay that night, mang. That's quick thinking.

 

I have a friend who, to this day, doesn't believe that Silsby, Texas is a real town. In all fairness, I never checked. Maybe it's not.

[Guest Hass of Pain]

It was pretty painful when they used to announce Marcus Bagwell as hailing from "Spraybury Highschool" for his first few matches.

[Guest Sturgis]

"The last house on the left" which I belived belonged to Hack Myers.

 

Steve Austin was from the CNN Center during his time in ECW.

 

I aleys thought Bangkok, Thailand for the Super Invader was rediculous.

 

Beef Wellington: From the backstage area.

 

The Headbangers were from their "own personal hell" according to WWF Warzone.

[Guest The Decadent Slacker]

Maxx Payne being from the State of Euphoria always sounded weird to me, though i don't know if it's good or bad.

>>>The Headbangers were from their "own personal hell"

 

Since Thrasher runs a pizza store near me in South Jersey, that hometowm is actually correct.

[Guest jm29195]

I'm sure in early 90's wcw they used to announce sid as being 'from wherever the hell he wants'

 

Also Raven's 'from the bowrey'

[MillenniumMan831 0]

Sid Vicious's initial WCW run . . .

 

"From anywhere he darn well pleases . . ."

That's pretty awesome

One year in the PWI 500 there was an indy guy named "Chicken Neck", he wore a mask that made him look like a cross between a luchador and The Red Rooster. PWI claimed that that his ring intro was "hailing from The Purdue Institute and weighing in at $1.17 a pound".

I always liked Hack Myers as hailing from "the last house on the left" myself.

I think a lot of these "worst" hometowns are actually pretty swank ...

Any town Lodi would go to (let's say Las Vegas in this example), he would be from "Anywhere but Las Vegas".

Max Moon-From outer space.

[Guest BDC]

Blitzkrieg in WCW was from "The Cosmos". It was so corny that the announce crew started ripping on it at Spring Stampede '99, IIRC.

That's an old Southern heel cliche. Tracy Smothers still uses that as a hometown to this day. (Although the urge to announce him as being "from Nashville, Italy" was a painful one to resist.)

[Guest BDC]

Interesting, last time he was in my area he was a face. Oh well

Tommy Rich in the FBI: Little Atlanta, Italy

 

 

Harlem Heat from 110th street Harlem NY (do they have to tell you the street)

Issac Yankem DDS from Decatour, Georgia (Get it DECAY-tor?)

 

 

Best ever? Tommy Dreamer from Yonkers, NY (why? cuz thats also my original hometown)

That one is just funny as hell.

Actually, the lyrics to the song specify that Badstreet is in Atlanta GA.

 

If memory serves, it's the baddest street in the whole USA.

I just found an old WCW MaiN Event episode from November 1991.

 

After Van Hammer is introduced, his notorious jobber opponent is introduced...

 

"And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent, from The State Hospital....THE MEDIC!"
