What in the world of wrestling is your city known for?
 

Well altough the don't announce him from here Hassan is from Syracuse NY

AND POSSIBLY THE GREATEST THING TO HAPPEN IN WRESTLING

--David Arquette Diamond Dallas Page Syracuse, NY 04-25-00--

I was excited it happened because hey new champ in our hometown. How ever I still wanted to throw stuff at bishoff when he came out..

ECW

well New Rochelle, NY is known for nothing

But it's 15 minutes from NYC, so the begginning of Wrestlemania I guess.

I live right outside of Charlotte now and that's Flair country.

Closest thing to Brighton in the wrestling world would be William Regal or British Bulldog coming from places near by (or at least from the same country).

um hm Wales would be same as disturbed i guess :/

Nothing

Rock Bottom PPV
Kid Rock Concert on RAW :shifty:

Heh. The closest wrestling-related city to me is Montreal...

In Albany:

Beer Truck with SCSA and a few other moments I can't recall involving SCSA

as well as Reformation of DX

Washington DC=Batista

Same....

Hogan losing twice at wrestlemania
Hulkamania being reborn
Jericho losing the undisputed titles to Triple H
Edge, Christian, Test, Trish, Gail, prolly some others are from here
Rock hates us cuz of "rocky sucks" starting here

probably more stuff

Wrestlemania 8

Hometown of Action Jackson.

:y:

also Orton's 1st World Title Win and Christian's One Man Con-Chair-To on Edge

Oh yeah, Montreal was also the place were Chris Benoit was born, I think.

There was also that other thing which I won't even mention that happened here in '97.

Home of Ric Flair. Home of Crockett's promotion.

Need I say a word more?

The south was the place back in the day.

Wichita, KS the city Bulldog Bob Brown made famous. :D
Wichita is where Big Show went to College, Bam Bam Bigelow made his WCW debut here, and had a nitro when wcw was almost dead. That Nitro had a hotter crowd then any WWF/WWE show here. :wtf:

Huntsville, AL.

Hometown of Bobby Eaton, one of the greatest tag-team wrestlers ever.

Also the birthplace of the X-Division Title, when AJ Styles beat Jerry Lynn, Low-Ki, and Psicosis in a round-robin double elimination match to be crowned the first X-Div. Champion.

EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING (enough said)

WrestleMania XV (Stone Cold def. The Rock)

ROH

Summerslam 90, KOTR 1995, Mind Games, Unforgiven 2000, Royal Rumble 2004

and......

WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin (with one arm tied behind his back) vs Mr. McMahon (RAW 1998)

Plus a whole lot more

<font color=goldenrod>Danbury, CT

Well, the biggest wrestling-related thing to happen in this city was that ECW held a PPV (I think it was Living Dangerously 2000), at the O'Neill Center here. This just goes to show how far in the shitter ECW were starting to go by this point.....I'm quite certain that all watching the PPV were probably thinking "where the crap is Danbury, Connecticut?"

Pretty sure that's the show where New Jack and Vic Grimes were on scaffolding and Jack walked off of it backwards, sending Grimes with him flipping, and Grimes ended up landing on (and breaking) both of New Jack's knees</font>

BIG BOOYAH!

Well, I'm from New York, come up with any number of things that happened in wrestling here.

British Bulldog and William Regal were from England and One Night Only was held here

Dawn Marie is from here. Big fucking whoop.

Also, we have many indy shows around here. I never go, but I know that they have at least one a month.

Went to Insurrextion 2001 here (London, England) saw Angle Vs Benoit in 2 out of 3 falls. It wasn't the best match they ever had but it was worth it just to see them wrestle each other live :drool: and seeing the undertaker was unreal.

Highlight of the nite was steph being hit by a plastic bottle (Well several plasic bottles) and it being all over the net for a few days.

It was strange seeing as they checked us for bottles when we came in.

btw: (i don't wish any harm on steph) :shifty:

Other than that we've had Summerslam 92 (Bulldog Vs Bret) and and few other live events, thats about it really.

...Matt Morgan lives across town

Vince McMahon lives 20 minutes away

WWE headquarters is 10 minutes away

Thats cool :)

Home of Patterson.

Birth place of Benoit, and many others..La Res, Martel, Rougeau's..HHH and Francine have some heritage here also.

97 screwjob.

Do you actually KNOW where they live and have you seen their houses? And have you ever bumped into/seen any of them?

St. Louis:

"Wrestling at the Chase"
Harley Race
The first Hell in a Cell match
The first picks in the 2005 Draft Lottery
and Randy Freaking Orton

oh shit son you live in Albany too? What part?

Austin almost making roadkill out of Rakishi after his return...

From Miami, FL:

The Rock
Razor Ramon
Royal Rumble 93 I believe, and Armaggedon 2002, or was it 2003?
Possible other wrestlers living here that I can't remember off the top of my head.

BOOOOOOOOOO! thats nothing!

Omaha: We generated some damn good ratings for RAW on the 16th of May! I am proud to say I was there and the dark match main event rocked!! We got Batista vs. Christian.

From South Florida...soo....The Rock and Razor Ramon.

The first real ECW TV taping damnit!!!! ( WHich never aired, and the second one they taped became the first one.)

Portland:

Former home of one of the greatest wrestling promotions of all time.
The death of wrestling.
The re-birth of wrestling.
WWE Raw- Flair vs. Benoit!, RVD vs. Booker T. vs. Randy Orton(IC Champ)

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper

Vampiro

NHB Wrestling

I think Roddy Piper lived here for a while or something.

The Bushwhackers :D

Ouch!

Right now the wAw Wrestling School whose head trainer is the same guy that trained Rhyno.

My hometown is Sudbury, Ontario. No wrestlers of note are from there, but we were part of the International Wrestling Territory out of Montreal. As such I got to see Rick Martel, The Rougeau Brothers, and Dino Bravo before they hit the big time.

I now live in Ottawa. I think the only thing of note about Ottawa is I believe the RAW after the Montréal incident occured in Ottawa.

Augusta, GA.

1. The Birthplace of Hulk Hogan

2. Benoit's first Phantom Television Title Reign occurred here. (Phantom because it was treated like it didn't happen on Television.)

3. ECW came here exactly once, I caught Nova's Wrist Tape at the event. If I still had it, I'd mail it to him with a message that said, "I Still Remember."

Sacramento is known for it's tough crowds. WWE put a ban on Arco Arena for awhile and didn't come for like 4 years once because there was a huge brawl before then. :D

Also, Ken Shamrock is from Sacramento

Cincinnati, Ohio

* Home of the late Brian Pillman
* The night when the late Rick Rude appeared on both Raw and Nitro, the Nitro was in Cincinnati that night
* WCW's Souled Out PPV
* Shelton Benjamin defeated Triple H on Raw


....Not much, really

Edge getting booed is his hometown.

When he was still face. Also did any other Ontario-ites hear the Christian chants during the triple threat that Edge was in at SummerSlam with Jericho and Batista.

We also started a wave during a WWE Championship match, that lasted almost the entire match. Poor Taker, fuck JBL.

Oh yeah and Bubba Ray Dudley lives like 5 blocks away from me.

Austin, TX

-Paul London is from here.
-It was in Austin that Snitsky punted the baby on Raw.
-Austin was the last stop on the "Hoe Train". It was in Austin when Godfather was taken by the RTC.
-Lance Hoyt of TNA used to wrestle here locally under the name "Shadow".
-Victoria, TX is close by which is Stone Cold's hometown.
-San Antonio is a short drive from here which is famous for HBK and the current home of Stone Cold. Also home of the former TWA school which trained several indy & WWE superstars such as Paul London, Spanky, American Dragon Brian Danielson, (Lance) Garrison Cade, etc. I also saw the Vertabreaker performed in TWA before I ever saw Hurricane (Sugar Shane Helms) do it.
-Houston is close too which is Booker T and Stevie Ray's hometown. Houston is also the Undertaker's hometown.
-Houston has been home to two Wrestlemanias and a few other PPV's
-Dallas has hosted several PPV's. Dallas is the same distance from Austin as Houston is from Austin.

That's all I can think of right now...

Dave 'Fit' Finlay

Liverpool -

Home of Robbie Brookside (FWA regular and one time WWE Raw dark match jobber to Maven), the Beatles (we all love 'em) and the new European Champions.

Newport - Home of the Goldie Looking Chain. We all know the WWE will use one of their songs as a theme song sooner or later :shifty:

Crashnburn,

San Antonio is also the hometown of one of the Original Four Horsemen: Tully Blanchard.

Nothing where I live now...but back when I lived in Denver, CO...

*Vader

*Too Cold Scorpio

*"Colorado Kid" Mike Rapada (NWA guy [and former World Champ] for those of you who don't know)

*Raven won the US title and Savage won the World Title on the same night

*Goldberg won the US title and Hogan won the World Title the next night in the city next to Denver (Colorado Springs)

*Jericho won one of his IC title reigns here

*Denver is the city where Bischoff and Russo vacated all the titles

*WWE Vengence was here when Kurt Angle began his 4th (and final to date) reign as WWE Champion and Eddie Guerrero began his 2nd (and final to date) reign as US Champion

*One of Lance Storm's 3 favorite cities to wrestle in...

Also, I doubt this makes Denver, or the state of Colorado "known" but there has never, NEVER been a Tag Team Title switch in the entire state of Colorado. Even when it comes to Indies (NWA-Rocky Mountain, RMCW, HVW, CWO, XTC, and others), the Tag Titles have never been dropped or won, only awarded and stripped. Interesting isn't it.

Wrestlmania XX, where it all began again.... did I forget to mention I met Joh Cena whale they where here?

As a matter of fact, you did.

...if you are saying that New York City is best known for WrestleMania XX, you are VERY mistaken. NYC is probably one of the cities in the world with the MOST history and richness to it. To cheapen the entire city by saying that WrestleMania XX is the highlight is a disgrace. At least in my eyes.

Also it's not "whale" unless you are talking about the animal. I believe the word you were looking for is "while". Also there is no Joh Cena, but I think a guy named John Cena is WWE Champion right now. Ok the last one I know was a type-o I just felt like being a bitch. Oh yeah and all the usual "Hi welcome to TPWW :wave: " bullshit everyone else does.

giving us the likes of Heidenreich, Jazz, and Rodney Mack.

...in the words of Dirty Sanchez's Dainton - "you know that shit's newport!"

Uh...crap. Stupid being out in the middle of nowhere, PA. Think Steve Blackman or maybe Snitsky are from somewhere around. Could be wrong.

You know's it clart

He's my mate's uncle, and I go to freestyle in Newport city centre and see him in the shop sometimes.

Birmingham AL

DEC 2000 Armageddon - 6 man Hell in a Cell

Oh wait...another one for Houston...

Hacksaw Jim Duggen Won the heavyweight belt at a local fed and then disapeared for like 6 months before finally defending it twice and losing it.

The screwjob has to be the most famous thing to happen here.

Other than that, The Moutie, The Rougeaus, Pat Patterson, being home to Andre The Giant's first employment as a wrestler.

Winnipeg, Manitoba:

Home of Chris Jericho
Birthplace of Roddy Piper (according to IMDB. He lived in the North End)
Steve Corino lived here for a bit.
Don Callis Lives here
Johnny Devine lived there
Had an In Your House here once. (Where Douglas was awarded the IC Title, then lost it)
RAW with Eugene as GM was here. Met Jericho the next day.
Cena was stripped of the US title the next day I believe.
Eddie Guerrero fan incident happened at a house show 2 years ago. Eddie was thrown out of the ring, and a fan poured a beer on him. Eddie got up, chased him, punched him a few times, and then went back to the match. Post-match, he apologized to the crowd, and tore into the fan's buddies.

Im with ya there. Ill even throw in since in area and I go there, Clarion, PA, where Kurt wrestled in college.

Also Don't forget was where Brock and Kurt had there first "Official Match" on a Smackdown right before WM 19

Bump for new posters

Finlay.

Goldberg tore his arm up on the limo window here at a Thunder taping. I can't think of anything more significant.

Well Marcus Bagwell turned on Scotty Riggs and joined the nWo..but..lol

I'm actually from a suburb but Atlanta of course is known for WCW. Also the Battle of Atlanta involving promoter Ann Gunkel.

I'm from a small town in East TN that Smokey Mountain ran shows in, they were the hometown promotion when I was young. Now I live in NYC so, you know.

Are you fucking .... :nono:

I think there has been a total of 2 or 3 RAWs aired from here in two different buildings during the entire existence of RAW. That's... something. And I think Michael Hayes mentioned a story about showing up to Youngstown fucked up and pissing off Andre in the process.

I dunno. Would be a far easier question if this were about boxing.

He posted that in 05, no profightdb, etc to search things.

Dick Beyer, aka The Destroyer is not only from my area, but he served as a wrestling coach for one of the schools in my district.

Town over. Enzo.

Nothing
