I always love a fake hometown. Like WCW deciding Booker and Stevie Ray deserved a "grew up on the streets" image and Houston wasn't tough enough for that, so we got Harlem Heat. Thankfully, Thunder Rosa didn't get a CM Punk style debut. No one wants to wrestle in a graveyard in Tijauna, Mexico.

Which is kind of hilarious as a Texan, given Houston is actually pretty goddamn rough depending on where you are. Yeah, I actually grew up in a neighborhood near Booker T’s old home in Houston and it was…not the best lol. Only positive in this is that my uncle ran into him at the store once 😂

Even a gimmick hometown can mean something. Flair was born in Tennesse. Jim Ross is from California but if you keep going on at a group watch about how this is weird 'stolen cowboy valour' and he didn't even attend the college he claims to represent, everyone looks at you weird and your friends stop inviting you places. It's true. Bret Hart is from Pensacola, Florida.

Dutch Mantel referenced this infamous Luger promo on one of his podcast episodes recently. And just the other day, had a video up about Damien Demento.

I remember there was a raw in Minnesota once and some people were going on about that being her home town. So I was confused when later people said it was Boston. The confusion from that likely stems from her attending a Raw/Smackdown double taping in 2005 while she lived there, specifically the shows that ended up becoming the Eddie Guerrero tribute shows that day.

I feel like my whole life is a lie. JR being from California is just like Hank Hill being from New York.
