The only kinda famous one is Robbie Brookside, who got beat up by Umaga a couple of years back. The only other thing is One of Elvis Costello's album covers had the photo taken in front of the house across the street. So, Yeah.

The only wrestler from my local area that anyone would have really heard of I suppose would be PAC being that I live about 30 minutes from Newcastle This man is arguably one of the best high-flyers on the planet, if your into that style and havent heard of him... check him out! To add my own 2 cents... Im in Scotland so Drew McIntyre is the only potential countee here!

Drew McIntyre lived in the same town as me until he got big in America. We went to the same schools as me too, and I'd regularly see him stomping about the same pubs and nightclubs. He was apparently in one of them during his whole VISA thing a couple of months back. I was too hammered to notice ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) As i understand, Drew and a few of the indy lads usually attend Xmas/New Year parties in the big nightclub in town... cant remember the name though.

I was told that the late Rufus R. Jones was from Dillon, SC which is 20 minutes from here. Shelton Benjamin is from Orangeburg, SC, which is 2 hours from here. Mo from Men on a Mission live in South Carolina, on the other side of the state, not too far off from Clemon University. One Man Gang was born in Spartanburg, SC. There may be others. I'm not so sure. Heh small world I think you may be the only other person on this board that even knows about Dillon (which is where I'm from of course). And yes Rufus is from Dillon as they did a story on him last year in the paper.

Wade Barrett and Davey Boy Smith are both from around a 30 mile radius and Regal's from Staffordshire.
I can't think of a single well-known British wrestler from Sheffield.
