This was brought up a few times, but I was looking around the Ontario indy websites, and I found out that Cat Power of Shimmer fame is from the town next to me and went to my high school, and we may've went to school together, like, she would have been in grade 12 and I would have been in grade 10 (well, I didn't find anything more on that, I'm guessing just due to how close it would be). That blows me away.
This just gets me more excited of course for going to wrestling school, as someone has made a relatively decent name for themselves who lives in the area, even though most people may not know that she's from the area. That's why if I get further into wrestling, I have to be from Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia, no matter where I'm living.
Anyway, anyone else have a hometown wrestler, obviously many people do.

Most wrestlers billed from "Toronto" aren't actually from Toronto. Edge is from Orangeville. Christian is from Kitchener. Santino Marella is from Mississauga. Trish Stratus is from Richmond Hill, which is a Toronto suburb, but still not Toronto.
Off the top of my head, the only true Torontonian I can think of is Gail Kim.

I'm from Staten Island, so all I got is Big Vito. Macho man used to have a house in Staten Island, and Tony Garea lived out here too. My mom has a picture of Tony holding my brother when he was a baby.

I'm close to Knoxville, so that gives us Buddy Landel and (kayfabe at least, I'm not sure) Lorelei Lee. I'm sure I'm forgetting somebody.

I'm from Dallas, Texas, so I would imagine a lot of guys. Not sure about anyone in particular, but I imagine at least one guy.

and I may or may not have gone to high school with Ashley Massaro, bio says she's from Babylon, she's only about 2 years younger than me, but if I did, I certainly didn't know her then.
Yeah, a LOT of ECW Originals are from Long Island apparently.

I live in TAcoma, but technically in Parkland, which was the home to Jack Evans. Apparently, I have better hygeine standards than that guy.

Bob Holly and Paul Bearer are from Mobile, AL which is pretty close to where I'm from.
Bearer (William Moody) used to run a funeral home/crematorium a few blocks from my parents' house until sometime last year.

Paul London was originally from Hartford, CT where I live now. Velvet Sky was originally from Waterbury, where I was born. My sympathies, but you're in a better place now.  (I think Paul London being from Hartford was kayfabed, though. Pretty sure he's really from Austin.) No one from Meriden, but Stevie Richards and J.D. Maverick (April Hunter's husband) lived in Wallingford (which sucks) for a while. Presumably, Hunter lived there too. Also, Justin Credible something something Olive Garden in Waterbury, which is about 15 minutes west of Meriden. |

There is one more wrestler from the St. Louis area that hasn't been mentioned. One of my friend's from HS's dad was former WCW jobber Ron Powers.
