What city/state has put out the best wrestlers?
 

Might be a little biased being I'm from Houston but Texas has put out some of the greatest wrestlers in history. Undertaker, HBK, Stone Cold & the list goes on & on.
In your opinion which state is known for putting out great wrestlers?

Augusta, GA was the city Hulk Hogan was born in. Nearby Aiken, SC was the birthplace of the Big Show.

:shifty:

I really don't like Philly, but I must admit that it is a good wrestling town. Also, nearly anywhere in the south.

Parts Unknown

Either random places from the great state of Minnesota, or Baddstreet, USA.

Undertaker is from Death Valley. You gotta go by that. So fuck off Houston!

Calgary (dramatic pause), Alberta, Canada

Going with Minnesota, and not just because I spend a lot of time there when I'm not in the equally-as-freezing-cold land known as England.

Europe

Japan dude. What about the Japs?!

Japan is also another place where good wrestlers are from.

The Isle of Tonga

Bobby Jaggers and the citizens of Dunlap, KS beg to differ.

Wise @$$ answer: Special Forces, WCW.

True answer: Calgary, Alberta Canada.

Houston, of course.

What about Sri Lanka?

The Mean Streets of Connecticut

Other than some of the ones already mentioned i'd say North & South Carolina seems to pump out a lot of talent.

The Other Side of the Tracks.

minnesota has pumped out curt hennig, rick rude, lesnar, shelton benjamin, nikita koloff, jesse ventura, barry darsow, and ric flair

Samoa.

Rand Mcnally

The great state of Canada!

YES :love:

Robinsdale, MN

The Perfect Answer.

*Mr. Perfect
*Rick Rude
*Mean Gene Okerlund.
*Verne and Greg Gagne.
*Demolition Smash
*Nikita Koloff.
*Tom Zenk
*Bam Neely.

May not be the top but The ole Hometown should get a mention. Pittsburgh with Bruno Sammartino, Kurt Angle, Larry Zbyszko and "The Franchine" Shane Douglas to name a few.

That's better.

even better.

Didn't really need Bam Neely on that other list, either.

Yeah that's why he was last on the list. It was sort of in order of awesomeness. Wanted the complete list from the wiki or I wouldn't have included Neely or the Z-Man.

The Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Man

Any of the Carolina states. Most of the best and most popular wrestlers of the 60's through the 80's and even into the early 90's came out of the Carolinas and the Carolina promotions of the NWA.

Like who?

ever heard of a 16x World Champion named Ric Flair....Ricky Steamboat....Chief Jay Strongbow.....Wahoo McDaniels....Magnum TA, Tully Blanchard, Ronnie Garvin, Butch Reed, The Brisco Brothers, and the list can go on and on.

I wasn't even disagreeing. Just asking.

Also, Ric Flair's not that good.

Albeit he may not be one of the best pure wrestlers ever but the guy was the top draw outside of the WWE and Hogan for near two decades and had some of the best matches in that time period hands down. His fueds with Luger, Sting, Steamboat, Funk, Harley Race, and Dusty Rhodes were some of the best you could ask for.

The Franchise made that town, how dare you!!!

None of those guys were born in Carolina. Flair is from Minnesota, but Magnum is the closest being from Virginia.

HE WAS?!!

HE DID?!!

Dudleyville jesus that woman was a damn whore!

Detroit, Michigan

CM Punk
Kevin Nash
Chris Sabin
Alex Shelley
Jimmy Jacobs
Sabu
Rhino
Lou Thesz
The Shiek
Monty Brown
Eric Bischoff
RVD
Steiner Brothers
George the Animal Steele

CM punk? Detroit made punk. Wooohoooo!

I'm just here for Katy Perry's tits.

Syracuse: IRS, Muhammad Hassan, Michael Cole,......Tom Cruise?

Exactly.

Flair didnt move to Charlotte until he was entrenched in JCP. Same with Arn, Ole, tully

I never implied that they were born in Carolina, the title of the thread is which city and/or state has produced the best wrestlers. I didn't necessarily take that is that you had to be physically born there. I'm aware that most if none of those guys are from North or South Carolina, but that simply they had been breeded into success in the Carolina promotions. Sorry if my post was misleading.

You REALLY, REALLY should have left Monty Brown off that list all-together, pure embarassment. Jimmy Jacobs could be left off as well. Sorry i'm not a big ROH fan anymore, their product has sucked dick since Sinclair took over.

Half of these guys aren't from Detroit

Some say Canada.... others say Toronto...

West Memphis, Arkansas :shifty:

WCW Special Forces was a pretty rad place. Firebreaker Chip was all kinds of good.

Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota./thread

Damn, there's just so many places where good wrestlers are from...

I'd be more impressed if there were just one place with a ton of good wrestlers.

Agreed.
