I see Jimmy Jacobs frequently, even selling him milk and cigarettes a couple times. Josh Abercrombie is from here. RVD is about a 15 minute drive away. Christopher Daniels is listed on the town's Wikipedia, but I have no idea why. Maybe he went to college here?

I guess tampa has a long list, and Harry Smith, was in the same elementary school classes I was from 1st through 3rd grade, I remember he did get his US citizenship when it was mentioned in class...

Harley Race sort of. I believe he lived here back in the 70s and 80s but he has lived in Eldon, Missouri for a while now which is pretty much in the middle of no where.
Also Butch Reed who was born in Warrensburg, Missouri which is kind of a suburb of Kansas City.

The Brian Kendrick is from here and I had him in a couple classes when I was a substitute teacher. I'm about 45 minutes from Aberdeen, the home of Bryan Danielson. Also about 30 minutes from Parkland, hometown of Jack Evans.

Beulah McGillicutty.It was weird a month or so ago when Tommy was visiting relatives and tweeted that he went to Michigan's Adventure(a local theme park).If I would have known sooner I would have invited him out to my favorite buffet and we could close the place down. Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon? That's crazy - I love that place! I'm only about an hour away from there, so if Beulah is from Muskegon, I'll count her, too. I have no idea if Rob Van Dam is really from Battle Creek, MI, but if so, he's fairly close to me, too.

Josh Abercrombie's apparently originally from New Haven, so that's about 25 minutes away. Beyond that... uh, Stevie Richards lived in Wallyworld for a while? That's pretty much it. A bunch of indy guys are in CT, sure, but I can't think of anyone else who's notable.

Murat Bosporus (some people may know him from wXw) and Thumbtack Jack are from Munich. Jack is a nice dude, an impression you wouldn't get watching his death matches (CZW Tournament of Death VIII should be known, he was in the infamous match were Nick Gage was badly injured)

I live about 50 miles north of San Francisco, so nobody out of my town. Basically I count the Bay Area as a whole, so we have a few from the city (Rikishi, the Usos, Cheerleader Melissa), and some from the South Bay like Rosa Mendes (San Mateo) and Crash Holly (Pacifica).

I live just outside of St. Louis. So I can claim the Ortons, Evan Bourne, Kane and the late Lou Thesz among others. Randy Orton and his wife came into my work about a month or so ago. I got to meet him and he was a nice guy. Was Evan Bourne "Matt" from Gateway Championship? I went to a couple of GCW shows and he used to have some great matches. I remember being like, "who's this little kid who keeps doing shooting star presses from every angle imaginable?". Never thought I see that kid on national TV.

Rey Mysterio and Chuck Palumbo (I actually got an autograph from both at the San Diego Airport). I actually lived close to Rey for the longest time. Once I saw the first Rey DVD, I knew exactly where that house was. Sadly, he moved out, so no picture.
Outside of that, a couple of indy guys I believe. Joey Ryan's up in LA (going to Disneyland almost every week. A benefit from living so close I suppose), but outside of him I'm not sure if any other PWG guys (or any other indy guys) are near San Diego.

Ivory went to a rival high school, and I just learned a couple minutes ago that Candice Michelle went to the City college by my house.

I don't know if this counts, but "Gameboy" Max Morrison (from Grand Rapids) was featured in an MTV2 segment about the crossover appeal of video games and wrestling. He's a cool dude outside of the ring. I've had the pleasure of hanging out with him a few times since we have a mutual friend.
