Also Kofi's from Boston. no? But can't pull that Hometown Boston card cause "he's from Ghana". Then again it seems like Cena is the only one who can (considering Riley, Tensai, and others are from that area). Well, he was born in Ghana and that stands out more than Boston. Also, isn't it a tribute to his mom? I remember hearing they dropped the Jamaican origins of the character because his mom wasn't a fan of his real ancestry being ignored.

Well Eve wasn't billed from anywhere when they were in her hometown of Denver Colorado (where she main evented in a tag match) to prevent a hometown pop lol.

They've always billed Bork Lensar from Minneapolis when he's really from South Dakota. But then again, I would want a kayfabe hometown if I was from here

HHH is not from Greenwich Connecticut, but Nashua New Hampshire. Damn right, he is. We went to the same high school.

There is, you know, a difference between:
1) Hometown
2) Residence
3) Place of birth
For any given person that can be three different places. You can be born in New York, grow up in Los Angeles and consider that your hometown and reside in Atlanta. I guess such a person, kayfabe or otherwise, could choose to be billed from any of the three.

I can't think of anyone who has Charlotte as a kayfabe hometown. Everyone I can think of that's usually billed as Charlotte is from here or has lived here long enough to be a staple. When he debuted Cody Rhodes was billed as being from Charlotte.

Camacho and Hunico. Camacho was born in Florida. Hunico was born in Texas. Both are announced as being from Juarez, Mexico. Well, Camacho's a special case. He's a Tongan pretending to be Mexican, after all.

You can be born in New York, grow up in Los Angeles and consider that your hometown and reside in Atlanta. I guess such a person, kayfabe or otherwise, could choose to be billed from any of the three. Indeed for instance Jericho was born in Manhasset, New York is billed from Winnipeg... (or Winitoba... or Toronto...) and lives in Florida.

Wade Barrett was billed as being from Manchester for ages, although he's properly billed from Preston now.

Kane was born in Spain but I guess Parts Unknown or Death Valley sounds cooler.

Is R-Truth from Charlotte? Yup. Although they couldn't actually bill him from a hometown until his heel turn, because he sang himself to the ring.

The Dolph example is weird because they've talked about his achievements wrestling for St. Eds (located in Lakewood, OH) in high school and for Kent State in college. St. Eds is a good school but they're not recruiting kids from Florida ya know?
