Where do the best wrestlers come from?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

What parts of the world have produced the best wrestlers, in your opinion?

Alberta, Canada comes to mind with the Harts, Lance Storm, Benoit, etc.
Quebec also has a good crop with Ron Garvin, Rick Martel, Ivan Koloff, the Rougeaus, Pat Patterson, and a bunch more

But I think my answer for the best is probably Minnesota which features the Gagnes, the Andersons, the Hennigs, Jesse Ventura, Rick Rude, the Road Warriors, and a bunch of others.

But enough about me, let's talk about you

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Parts Unknown.

[The Mackem]

Parts Unknown.

I was wondering who was going to be first :D

[Mike Honcho]

dude, easy. TEXAS. HBK, Undertaker, Booker T, pretty sure JBL is from TX too, but I'm not 100% on that.

[Sixx]

Venice Beach, California, baby!

[Xero]

Manhassat, NY

[VSG]

Definitely Texas, and ya JBL is Texan however he may want to deny it :lol:

Its also where most wrestler like to reside: Torrie Wilson, Rikishi, Umaga (RIP), Mark Henry, Dustin Rhodes etc.

I saw Adam Evans at the start and stopped reading. But in all honesty, is it fair to see just where the wrestlers were born? There is so much foreign talent that are now US citizens. Ditto with the separate states if you are only into the USA right now.

Well I'm just going by where they're born because its easiest and people can be "from" a lot of places but they can only be born in one.

But I get your point Jim Ross is part and parsel with Oklahoma yet born in California and Jericho was raised in Canada but born in New York... I just have to be fair over all and only go by where someone is born.

Not the city of Austin, TX...

[VSG]

Oops, you got me there. Funnily though, he was born and raised in Austin, TX.

[Majunior]

Going with Canada. Calgary, to be exact.

I know a lot of people will go with Texas, but IMO a lot of the talent from Texas doesn't impress me much. Yeah, I said it... not a big fan of Taker, JBL, or HBK.

[Rammsteinmad]

I'd go with Canada.

Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Edge, Christian, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Lance Storm, El Generico, Petey Williams, Trish Stratus :drool: and Natalya Neidhart :drool:

[RiX1024]

Texas and Canada.

[Inadequacy]

Chicago, motherfucker

[Wolfpack423]

dude, easy. TEXAS. HBK, Undertaker, Booker T, pretty sure JBL is from TX too, but I'm not 100% on that.

What about Stone Cold Steve Austin haha? I agree with Texas and Canada in general because we have The Harts, Benoit, Jericho, Edge, Christian, Lance Storm, Trish Stratus, Maryse etc. Basically everyone except Sylvan Grenier and The Mountie well that's my opinion I just never liked the Mountie.

Texas has a plethora of great talents, Austin, HBK, Taker, JBL, Booker T

California has my favorite of all time Sting haha.

[RiX1024]

Brooklyn NY: Taz & Low Ki...nuff said!

Two of my all time favorites Taz in his prime in ECW I'm talking 1998-1999 he was awesome and Low-Ki is one of the best in ring talents in some time. I've seen most of his matches from his WXW matches to ROH to TNA to now.

[The Pope]

The best wrestlers come from England and Canada.

It's not fair to compair a state with a country... You have to compare Canada with The United States.
