I always thought it was just England when he was in the British Bulldogs then Leeds, England when he was a single. I think Dynamite was announced as being from Wigan, Davey from Leigh (which is between Wigan and Manchester) which them somehow morphed into being from Leeds (which is a different place entirely) during his 90-92 singles run. Davey had been living in Canada for over a decade at that point and likely didn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Local guy at an indie show I attended in the early 2000' s had himself announced as being from "the side of the pillow you try not to think about". He was doing a sort of ugly guy playboy gimmick so it fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I spent some time going down a Woody Strode rabbit hole this weekend. I didn't know much about his pro graps career, though I knew he was an excellent athlete at UCLA and is in one of my favorite westerns of all time (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance). I watched what was on YouTube, but I wondered if the historians here know much else about his career? Is there any more footage of his work in California or his team with Bobo Brazil?

Even the alien is Kris Stratlander. I guess she's Red is cute like a cup cake? If this was 1995 she'd be a baker so it would kinda make sense. Anyway I think its interesting how wrestling has gone from mostly worked hometowns to peoples real hometowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to know how it came down to taking an editorial stand on Warrior being from Queens? It goes back to when he was first introduced by Gary Hart as the Dingo Warrior (part of the baddest street gang in Queens) in World Class...PWI wouldn’t budge from certain things, you’re right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, Key West, Florida. 3 pro wrestlers have been billed from my hometown. The Cole Twins and Samoa Joe. (Not counting Tito Ortiz or Tank Abbott.

Yes, but I recall them being announced as from "the Future" - both maybe? I was inconsolable for a while after 01/01/2002 that I was stuck in the "current" shitty 2002 instead of thee New Breed's Dusty-as-POTUS reality, so I guess they succeeded in their mission, or should I blame LazerTron? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
