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.

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. |

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... |

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. |

...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 " bullshit everyone else does. |

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

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. |
