Epic Reine Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 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?

Guest cosbywasmurdered Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 How can you knock Demento's hometown?! It was AWESOME
JST Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 No such thing exists. The cornier, the better.
Jingus Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 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.
Guest Sturgis Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 The Zodiac: "The Land of Yin & Yang" Planet Stasiak Isn't Trent Acid's "South Philadelphia, Japan" or some stupid shit like that?
Guest LooneyTune Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 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 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 It was pretty painful when they used to announce Marcus Bagwell as hailing from "Spraybury Highschool" for his first few matches.
Guest Sturgis Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 "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 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Maxx Payne being from the State of Euphoria always sounded weird to me, though i don't know if it's good or bad.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 >>>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 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 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 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Sid Vicious's initial WCW run . . . "From anywhere he darn well pleases . . ."
MDH257 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 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".
JHawk Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 I always liked Hack Myers as hailing from "the last house on the left" myself.
nl5xsk1 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 I think a lot of these "worst" hometowns are actually pretty swank ... Damian Demento - From the Outer Reaches of Your Mind Kevin Sullivan - From the Iron Gates of Fate "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. ... are all pretty cool.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Any town Lodi would go to (let's say Las Vegas in this example), he would be from "Anywhere but Las Vegas".
Guest BDC Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Blitzkrieg in WCW was from "The Cosmos". It was so corny that the announce crew started ripping on it at Spring Stampede '99, IIRC.
Jingus Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Any town Lodi would go to (let's say Las Vegas in this example), he would be from "Anywhere but Las Vegas". 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 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Interesting, last time he was in my area he was a face. Oh well
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Luna Vachon: "From the other side of Darkness"
Jericholic82 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 mankind was from the boiler room, but the announcers never used it on tv to my knowledge Tommy Rich in the FBI: Little Atlanta, Italy Harlem Heat from 110th street Harlem NY (do they have to tell you the street) hey the freebirds were from Badstreet,USA (is that in Springfield?) Issac Yankem DDS from Decatour, Georgia (Get it DECAY-tor?) Best ever? Tommy Dreamer from Yonkers, NY (why? cuz thats also my original hometown)
tbondrage99 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 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". That one is just funny as hell.
nl5xsk1 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 hey the freebirds were from Badstreet,USA (is that in Springfield?) 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.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 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!"
