*Shrug* Ric Flair's from Minneapolis, but is billed as from Charlotte. The Undertaker is from Houston, but was billed as from Death Valley for years. The Dudleyz were from New York, but billed as Dudleyville. Edge'll probably be billed as from Florida, since he lives there. Heck, The Rock was born in Hawaii if I remember right, but they bill him as from Miami.

WHO THE HELL CARES?

The timing IS curious, but I figure they're trying to capitalize on his popularity.

Well, now this finally gives me a chance to pose a question I've been wondering.

For several months, I *swear* they announced Steven Richards as being from Wallingford, CT. Then they go back to Philly? Was I just hearing things, or did they change it and then change back?

Dunno if this is significant, but at WM X8 they pulled this off with Christian "now hailing from Tampa, Florida". Most likely just for him not getting any hometown face heat. Maybe they're going the opposite way with Benoit?

Haven't both Edge and Chris Jericho changed over as well?

And let's not forget Chilly Willy and his ilk, who hail from wherever they happen to be at the time. Pops don't come cheaper than that.

Jericho as of WrestleMania XX was still being billed from Winnipeg.

You think they might start pushing Benoit as a heel...a la Radicalz??? *ugh* I certainly hope not...or not yet at least...I'd like to see a bit of a face run with the title before he takes a stab at becoming HHH the 2nd...if that is indeed the plan

Nope, actually lived in Philly during the mid to late 80s and always noticed when he was on SUPERSTARS taped outside of philly that he was from Antigua and when they were at the Spectrum, he was billed as being from Philadelphia.


Keving nash went from being from Detroit to Scottsdale AZ, IIRC.

Or D'Lo Brown, who used to claim he was from various European cities when he was the European champ.

I think they flip flopped where Edge and Christian were from for a good while after they split up to make sure they got the appropriate crowd reaction. I've even got vague memories of Christian running down Canada backstage before being announced as from the US when the 2 were fighting. That could be complete twaddle though

I'd say the chances of there being anything sinister in Benoits case are somewhere between zero and sod all. They just wanted to take every precaution to make sure the crowd were firmly behind him in both matches, particularly at WM where there was a chance they would side with HBK. Come Backlash he'll doubtless be all Canada once more, ssuming he's there.

A few more....

-Goldust hails from Los Angeles, CA, whereas I think plain ol' Dustin's always been billed as from Austin, TX.
-I'm pretty sure both Cactus Jack and Dude Love were announced as hailing from ToC, NM in the WWF.
-This may be a hazy memory mixed in with utter BS, but didn't Crash switch to being announced as from Alabama to either North or South Dakota?

Why exactly are you angry? The man lives in Atlanta and have been living there for quite a while now.

edited to say that "Hailing from" is pretty much the same as "Residing in" when it comes to the WWE.

Or all the other times he's been a heel?

Being a heel would make him HHH the 2nd?

Booker T spending all those years hailing from Harlem and then suddenly being announced as a Texan always struck me as funny. Especially when he LOSES just about everytime they swing through Texas - I think that's getting to the "running gag" stage

My favorite was always MADE IN THE USA Lex Luger.

When Christian was introduced at X-8, didn't he insist to be announced as "Now hailing from Tampa, Florida"?

You weren't hearing things. For a while, when he was somewhere between his Right To Censor and his psycho gimmick, he was billed from CT (I recall hearing in an audio interview on his website that he did have a place there), but he's been "hailing from" Philly again for a while now.

I think we all forgetting that on RAW it was Lillian Garcia that announced Benoit as being from Atlanta, she might of just got it wrong. Again.

As much as I love Rey, I don't think the best idea is making Brock's first loss come to Misterio, even if it comes non-title with interference.
