Can't think of any wrestlers actually from my area, but Kevin Nash and Eric Bischoff both lived in Scottsdale for several years.

Oh, and Justin Roberts currently lives in Scottsdale.

There are some Scottsdale residents in WWE right now.

Right now because of my Dad's work I live in Southern Pines, North Carolina. It's in Moore county so therefore:

The OMEGA boys
Lita.
Vince McMahon also grew up in Pinehurst if that counts.

My hometown is Tampa so therefore:

John Cena
Batista
Big Show
Macho Man(R.I.P)
Brutus Beefcake
Hulk Hogan
Nasty Boys.
Hercules Hernandez(R.I.P)
The Warlord.
The Grahams.
Billy Kidman.
Torrie Wilson.
Test(R.I.P)

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Lita isn't from North Carolina. She was born in Florida and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia.

Anyways I can think of a ton who live here but none that are from here.

I'm from Cleveland, so we've got The Miz and Dolph Ziggler. Jerry Lawler lived here for a few years as a young child and loved it so that he considers it a second hometown..

[jrcz]

Pro wrestlers from Czech republic

We don't have any.

You've also got Derrick Bateman, Perry Saturn, Tough Enough contestant Matt Cross and indy wrestler Johnny Gargano.

[BJ Sturgeon]

Otto Wanz and Chris The Bambikiller are our most famous ones.

The only one I know of that's even close is Tony Atlas. Oh, and Saba Simba.

[Methusael86]

I found out Low-Ki grew up at the Fort Hamilton Army Base in Brooklyn, which my family constantly visits for food shopping.

[baronmordo]

I'm from Louisville, so...Ian Rotten. Ugh. I believe OVW's current TV champ, Paredyse, is legitimately from here as well (billed as being from "The Most Beautiful City in The World, Louisville, Kentucky").

[derickyuki]

I also was stationed at Fort Riley, KS...so Bobby Lashley at one point.

[Threadkiller [Classic]]

I live less than an hour from Allentown, where Billy Kidman, the Nasty Boys, and countless others were trained, I believe.

[Young Game]

Couldn't find any wrestlers from Corpus Christi, but I did find this picture of JBL at the Corpus Christi Airport:

Chris Benoit......

Some of those wrestlers from Calgary hung out in Edmonton though at least like D.H. Smith.

[The QC Loser]

I live in the Quad Cities area on the Illinois/Iowa border so I believe Tyler Black is from this area. Actually saw him live at a SCW show.

5. Mark Lewin (same as above)

Don't forget he was also "Purple Haze" in Kevin Sullivan's Army of Darkness in Florida.

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.

Haha, oh! I didn't know that about London, I always thought he was just born in CT but lived in Austin for the majority of his life.

That's entirely possible. I just don't recall seeing anything saying he was from CT outside of that intro vignette on SD.

I'm stationed in Ft. Lee at the moment so Mickie James (Mechanicsville) is the closest right now. Originally I'm from a lil south of San Antonio and I constantly visited Victoria so HBK and Steve Austin would be my closest originally.

[Citizen Snips]

I grew up down the street in Springfield PA from original ECW ring announcer Bob Artese. He was good friends and would hang out with Don Muraco, so we count the Magnificent One as an honorary Springfieldian.

Louisville technically has Rob Conway and Eugene.

Yeah, Conway is from New Albany, IN and Eugene is from Jeffersonville, IN really, but they're both right across the river so I count them.

No, oh well. I saw her at the Wal-Mart in Southern Pines earlier this year and assumed she was from around here. Guess she was just visiting. My bad.
