Name that old schooler

[TuneinTokyo]

Post a hometown and see if anyone can guess who the wrestler is from that hometown.

Let's keep it old school for now, if you don't mind. We can start a new guy game later.

I'll start

Aukland New Zealand.

Close the answer is Tony Garea



Garea was trained by Wild Don Scott. He made his professional wrestling debut in his native New Zealand.[1] He worked in NWA San Francisco territory where he and Pat Patterson defeated Don Muraco and Invader I for the NWA San Francisco Tag Team Championship in May 1976.[2]

First WWF run.
Garea continued to wrestle in the tag team division, with another former WWF Tag Team Champion Rene Goulet. The two participated in a tag team tournament for the titles, where they were defeated by Wild Samoans (Afa and Sika) in the finals on September 27, 1980.[11] Garea formed a tag team with new partner Rick Martel, which was Garea's most successful and most popular tag team. They defeated Wild Samoans on November 8 for Garea's fourth and Martel's first WWF Tag Team Championship.[4][12] Garea and Martel continued to feud with the former champions for the rest of the year. After Wild Samoans left WWF, the champions began feuding with Moondogs (King and Rex). They dropped the titles to Moondogs on March 17, 1981 edition of Championship Wrestling.[13]

Martel and Garea continued to feud with Moondogs, trying to regain the titles. On June 8, Garea beat a young rookie named Man Mountain Canyon in Madison Square Garden, who returned to WWF four years later as King Kong Bundy.[14] On July 21 edition of Championship Wrestling, Martel and Garea defeated Moondogs in a rematch to win their second WWF Tag Team Championship as a team, though, it was Garea's fifth and final individual reign.[4][15] Garea's final run as a tag team champion ended on October 17 edition of Championship Wrestling after Garea and Martel were defeated by Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito for the tag titles.[16] Garea and Martel continued to feud with Fuji and Saito, trying to regain the titles but failed to do so

He went on to singles as a mid-carder

I'll let someone else enter the next hometown.
