Being from Philly area obviously all the ECW guys. Also Tom Brandi, King Kong Bundy, Rockin Rebel, Greg Matthews from Tough Enough 1 make a decent share of appearances in my area. Trent Acid's close to the same county as me, thats about it.

In this area (Atlantic Canada), there isn't much in the way of local feds, but the now defunct Real Action Wrestling saw Kurrgan aka The Acadian Giant, and a young up and comer in Bobby Roode.

CM Punk, Samoa Joe, MVP, Jamie Noble, Brian Kendrick all used to wrestle for FIP (Closest thing to a local fed i guess, no such thing as a south florida promotion )

I saw Lance Cade, Bryan Danielson, and Brian Kendrick when they all started out with HBK's TWA promotion in '99. In fact, I saw all three of these guys' very first pro matches.

eh around Chicago it was CM Punk. Although now I think he's not THAT bad when he was around he was just another worker. I wrestled Davri in Indiana before he got the call up. Colt Cabana, eh he's still around as well as some of the ROH guys.

CM Punk, Samoa Joe, MVP, Jamie Noble, Brian Kendrick all used to wrestle for FIP (Closest thing to a local fed i guess, no such thing as a south florida promotion ) Same for me too, except replace FIP with ROH. I was live to see MVP's ROH debut against Homicide in Feb 2005. He was ok, a bit nervous but he did have some potential to be a star in the future.

Back in 1992, In All South Championship when I worked security and ring Crew, We had Ray Lloyd aka Glacier, Glen Gilbernetti aka Disco Inferno, Scott Stud aka Scotty Riggs, Scotty Flamingo aka Raven, Nightstalker aka Bryan Clark, PN news and Junkyard Dog also came there for a bit.
In the Calhoun, GA indy and in NGWA in 1995, We had David Young, Ray Lloyd, New Jack, Bull Buchannan, Mustafa Saed, Brian Armstrong aka Road Dog.
In All South 2Xtreme back in 2000, we had Glacier, Jorge Estrada, Jimmy Rave and Jason Cross. Mr. Hughes did a few spots for SCWA back in 2002.
In NWA Wildside and Anarchy through the years, AJ Styles, David Young, Sal Rinauro and Jimmy Rave all have worked there. I am sure I am missing some folks.

Giant Silva did work one time here.(He even apperead on TV)
I find it amusing he of all people be a international wrestler when guys like Bob Jr. are bound to live their lives as indy wrestlers in here.

Too many guys to name started off in Memphis with a fed more than likely associated with Jerry Lawler. I'm not even sure if this should count since a lot of these guys were under developmental deals:
Power Pro Wrestling: Kurt Angle A-Bomb/Albert (then known as Baldo) Rico Constantino Flex Kavana (The Rock)
Memphis Championship Wrestling: American Dragon (Bryan Danielson) Beth Phoenix K-Krush (K-Kwik/Ron Killings) Seven (Mordecai/Keven Thorne) Haas Brothers (Russ & Charlie) The Island Boys (3 Minute Warning) Spanky (Brian Kendrick) Christian York Lance Cade Queen Victoria (Victoria)
Memphis Wrestling: King Mabel (Viscera) Eric Young Johnny Devine Kid Kash Cassidy O'Reilly (Cassidy Riley) Wildcat Chris Harris
Keep in mind these were regulars, not just special appearances

Backseat Boys (Trent Acid, Johnny Cashmere), Sonjay Dutt, Ruckus, and the Rockin Rebel (who i campaigned for them to bring in for months, and when they finally did, i booed him outta the building)

Long title, but what wrestlers that have made it to TNA or WWE wrestled alot for your local indy fed? Paul London, Rodney Mack, and Lance Hoyt all use to wrestle at PCW here in Arlington. Hoyt still does ALOT and is one of the trainers I think, maybe thats why so many TNA people (Abyss, Sabu, Sabin, Petey Williams, Jay Lethal ) get booked there... Dallas guy here too, so I'd just be repeating what you've said. Can add Jazz to that list too. Of course we had Hotstuff Hernandez too, who worked mostly in NWA-Southwest in Dallas, but did a couple few shows for PCW. I read somewhere that WWE recently picked up Eddie Atlas/Eddie Craven so we'll see if he does anything. Haven't seen PCW since it was taken off the air a year or two back (before it came back on the Lonestar Channel, which I don't get). Loved the show around 2000-2001. Great work, great angles, and it actually did the NWO angle better than the NWO did it. Kept thinking that Jared Steele would finally break out and make it in the "big leagues" but I guess that just wasn't meant to be. Did/does dark matches here and there for WWE when they're in town, did a couple for TNA, ROH and that MLW fed that almost took off I think.

In HWA there was: D'Lo (first HWA Heavyweight Champ) Nigel (a skinny British kid who let me sit and co-analyze his first match becaue I was done with the newsletter) Conway (great guy and funny as hell) Shark Boy (fun to drink with, and handy when fighting rednecks) Chad Collyer (had some work in both TNA and WWE I'm pretty sure) Abyss (in northern kentucky, but close enough)
