[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

By the way, this is a toughie. I was gonna put Billy Jack Haynes for Oregon, but I couldn't think of another wrestler from that state. Same for Shelton Benjamina and South Carolina.

[MrBRulzOK]

Agreed. It's pretty tough finding two wrestlers billed from some states. It does make for an interesting challenge though.

[fw91]

ideas:
Brock Lesnar , X Pac, Bob Backlund: Minnesota
DDP, Mosh, Thrasher Rob Conway: New Jersey
Maven, Magnum T.A., Alex Riely: Virginia

[stinger]

I already did Verne Gagne and Rick Rude from Minnesota.
