| #21 Posted on 2.7.02 1720.48 Reposted on: 2.7.09 1729.04 | Texas has got to be first because of the sheer volume of current wrestlers we watch. Some big ones are Steve Austin, Undertaker, Booker T, Goldust (I shutter at this one).
Now what about New York? Not just the city, but the state. Tazz, Buh-Buh Dudley, Justin Credible and Mick Foley.

Because if so, was Rock born in Florida? Because if he was, he AND Hogan are from there and you gotta' believe that Florida produces some pretty OVER guys. hehehe.
Also, since I'm from Ohio, I'm going to have to say...
Ohio. Why? Because it gave us the greatest walking gimmick ever. Savage, brother. Savage. So here's a big OH YEAH to OH-I-O!

And if you're going by THAT, Flair's from Minnesota, too... which puts them WAY high, in my mind. Minnesota and Texas seem to be pretty high up there. Canada belongs with Mexico and Japan... not states, but they've all grown some pretty fine talent, too. | Mr Heel II

So, if he counts, I'm claiming Mick Foley too, since he *trained* here with Dominic DeNucci (There's another one.)
EDIT: My sister just reminded me that Billy Kidman is also from PA - Allentown, I think.

Ric Flair is from this area, though his current home is also in Charlotte. Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, Arn Anderson (billed as being from Minnesota. Was he really?), Brock Lesnar, Hulkamania, Nick Bockwinkel, Verne Gagne, Baron Von Raschke (The Claw!), Eric Bischof--- SHIT! Texas wins. | AWArulz

And I believe Slick Ric's actually from Minnesota. and you got Krusher Kowalski Jesse the Body (adopted?? home)
