Pennsylvania: Bruno Sammartino I was narrowing this between him and Angle. Angle probably disqualified himself in the past few years.

Mississippi only has 3 big names from here. As someone mentioned, Ted DiBiase Jr. Then there is Kamala, and Uncle Elmer.

Rhode Island- Chuck Palumbo I might rather go with Spike Dudley... In theory, I'd agree- but I deferred to Palumbo as the toss-up due to his reality show right now (similar to the "Ventura gets it by being the governor" thing for Minnesota.]

Yeah, I think we'll need to take some liberties here to make certain ones easier to choose. Situations like Shawn Michaels where we was born in Arizona but moved away when he was a small child and spent the rest of his life in Texas. I think for the purposes of this we can classify him a Texas guy and not Arizona.
Added Stacy Keibler for Maryland, Miss Elizabeth for Kentucky and Superstar Billy Graham for Arizona.
I think this is roughly where we're at now:
Alabama - Bobby Eaton Alaska - Yukon Eric Arizona - Superstar Billy Graham Arkansas - Sid Vicious California - Hulk Hogan Colorado - Connecticut - Delaware - Florida - The Rock Georgia - Goldberg Hawaii - Crush Idaho - Torrie Wilson Illinois - CM Punk Indiana - Ultimate Warrior Iowa - Seth Rollins Kansas - Harley Race? Kentucky - Miss Elizabeth Louisiana - Heidenreich Maine - Scotty 2 Hotty Maryland - Stacy Keibler Massachusetts - John Cena Michigan - Kevin Nash Minnesota - Jesse Ventura Mississippi - Ted DiBiase Jr./Kamala? Missouri - Randy Orton/Harley Race? Montana - Nebraska - Gorgeous George Nevada - Val Venis/Ryback? New Hampshire - Triple H New Jersey - DDP/Buddy Rogers? New Mexico - New York - Mick Foley North Carolina - Ric Flair North Dakota - Ohio - The Miz Oklahoma - Jack Swagger/Dr. Death Steve Williams/Jack Brisco/Danny Hodge? Oregon - Roddy Piper Pennsylvania - Bruno Sammartino Rhode Island - Chuck Palumbo/Spike Dudley? South Carolina - Sgt. Slaughter South Dakota - Brock Lesnar Tennessee - Jerry Lawler Texas - Steve Austin Utah - Vermont - Virginia - Mickie James Washington - Daniel Bryan West Virginia - Heath Slater/Jamie Noble? Wisconsin - The Crusher Wyoming - *DC - Batista

Gotta go with Brian "Crush" Adams for Hawaii. Also, has anyone ever come out of Alaska? In 21 years of being a wrestling fan I've never heard of anyone being billed from there.

Nevada: Val Venus was billed from there, then there's Rico and Ryback.
Virginia: Mickie James?
edit: Upon further review Tony Atlas was born in Virginia as well.

this is where the born in billed from thing comes in. Dr Death was born in Colorado but billed from Oklahoma and definitely tied closer to OK Jack Brisco is one of the all-time great NWA World Heavyweight Chanpions. Also, Danny Hodge deserves a mention if we're considering Jack Swagger.

For Mississippi, Ahmed Johnson. Wikipedia says he was born in Florida, but I think of him from Pearl River. I think Vader for Colorado.

Pillman's gotta be over The Miz for Ohio. I mean, not only was he billed from here but he played for the Bengals and raised his family in Northern Kentucky(aka Cincinnati Lite).

Seth Rollins is the only wrestler I've ever heard of being billed from Iowa.

Seth Rollins is the only wrestler I've ever heard of being billed from Iowa. Frank Gotch The Original Shiek should get Michigan too. I'd give Indiana to Dick the Bruiser since Warrior is mostly known for Parts Unknown. Also, as weird as it would be to replace Ms. Elizabeth, I'd probably have Hillbilly Jim have that, since Mudlick, KY was a pretty memorable location to be billed from. Colorado for Vader. Connecticut for Stephanie McMahon. Delaware for the Briscoes.

South Dakota - Brock Lesnar
If you're going to put Paul London on the list, you can at least include well known guys like The Undertaker and Dusty Rhodes from Texas.

Goldberg also grew up in Oklahoma, although he was billed from Georgia because that's where he played football. .

Alabama - Bobby Eaton or Mike Jackson. As crazy as it sounds, Mike Jackson is looked upon as a huge star in portions of Alabama. Georgia - I'd say Arn Anderson. Fun fact no one would remotely care about but me: I grew up just outside the town he's from (Rome) and his son and I were born in the same hospital on the same night. My dad talked to him for a couple of hours in the waiting room and didn't have a clue who he was due to him not being a wrestling fan. My dad still tells everyone who'll listen that Arn Anderson was the nicest guy on the planet. Props on the Mike Jackson inclusion. In the moder category for Alabama it would have to be Bob Holly ... unless you count Paul Bearer as a wrestler.
