Any sentence I try typing about "Joe, MT" sounds disgusting.
"I want to live in Joe, Montana!"

There is a place near where I live called Great Cockup so I would be billed from there. There is also a place named Orton.

I like to keep a list of cool/funny/bizarre town names, so I've got quite a handful. These are just a few on my list US... Zillah, Washington(yes, its pronounced like Godzilla) ... Even better, they have a "Church of God" there. Seriously. "Church of God, Zillah". I take the odd road trip through WA.. it's right off the interstate between Yakima and Tri-Cities. Blink and you miss it. But hell, they have a casino, and if you're on a gambling bender and you don't feel like waiting until you get to Kennewick, it'll do for a fix.

There is a casino in my town,too(Chewelah, Washington). Yeah, unfortunately, a lot of people, me included, do a lot of gambling.

It's not a particularly awesome name, but I'm surprised I have never seen a wrestler hailing from Salem, Massachusetts (my soon-to-not-be-anymore home). It would be a perfect fit for a magic or supernatural character.
Back in when I did some e-wrestling, I had a character from here named Tarot.
Also, I would love if a wrestler used that incredibly long Welsh town listed earlier, just to watch the announcer try to pronounce it.

Woonsocket, RI or Coos Bay, OR would make great wrestler hometowns for a more 'geeky' breed of wrestler. Win for the RI reference. Gun Barrel City,TX is the greatest unused hometown for a cowboy wrestler.

I found Washington's gambling scene almost completely by accident, driving from Boise, ID back to Calgary, AB and deciding to go west via OR, WA and BC instead of east through Montana. Not only is the scenery miles ahead of Vegas, the gambling is miles ahead too, by my standards at any rate. For the same moderate stakes that would get me largely ignored in Las Vegas, I get treated like a king in WA. My loathing of slot machines fits in nicely with the fact that there are none anywhere in any of the minis, and there's about a zillion tables of my favorite game, Spanish 21. Now, I only go to Vegas to meet with clients. If you ever get to Spokane, stop by Players and Spectators. A fun little place, and the food is great. Only downside is, of course, that you have to be in Spokane

I'm only an hour north of Spokane, so its no trouble.
Believe me, though, I'd rather be in Spokane than Chewelah.

If I ever got into e-wrestling, my plan was to fulfill pro wrestling's longest-running stereotype shortage and create a Welsh stereotype (to go with the countless British, Scottish and Irish ones out there). Indeed, he would hail from that Alphabet Soup town name, one that only Gorilla Monsoon could have pronounced correctly.

Spokane wasn't a slum by any means.. it just seems that every time I go through it, it looks so.. tired.. ya know? I was last there about a year ago, but the locals were telling me that it has gotten cleaned up and repaired a whole lot in the past decade or so. I'll have to make it a point to go that way on my next trip and see for myself.

Truth or Consequences, NM is the best one. It's also one of the creepiest places I've ever visited.

Sid and Dan Spivey were billed from "Metropolis" in wcw
the shah in ecw was from the last house on the left
who were the masked guys that always stopped the announcer and made him say "THE BEAUTIFUL..., PARTS UNNOWN!"
andre=grenoble, france, IN THE FRENCH ALPS.... why don't they give geographic markers for everyone like that? from battle creek michigan near the park kinda by my grandma's house.... that always bothered me way more than it probably needed to. raven=the bowery DDP in wcw= the jersey shore jake the snake= stone mountain, georgia. always made me think of snake mountain, and things that make you think of snake mountain are badass. at least if you're as old as me.

chris hero is usually hailed from metropolis as well but that fits his gimmick
claudio is from the united banks of switzerland I believe.
but my favorite is mad man pondo who hails from the realm of pain.

If I was American I'd have myself billed from Tombstone, Arizona.
