Mick Foley is from New York, though born elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't count Jericho as New York given that he wasn't raised there.

Nope, Jericho was born the son of a New York Ranger. His first 5 years living not far from where I lived my first 5 years, he's a NYer.

Pretty much everyone knows where Jericho is from.

Motor City Machine Guns
RVD
The Sheik
Rhyno
Steiner Bros
George the Animal

Jericho claims Winnipeg, therefore, he is from Winnipeg.

Jericho claims Winnipeg, therefore, he is from Winnipeg.

Not really. Lance Storm claims that he's from Calgary and he didn't even show up there until after he had finished university. Jericho at least primarily grew up in Winnipeg.

I was joking even though he did grow up there lol.

My buddy's dad actually had communications class with Jericho. I **** you not. The Chris Jericho of 30 years ago was a lot more timid and introverted compared to the guy he is now according to him.

I've seen the pictures and can confirm it was actually Jericho. Long before he had the blonde hair too which blew me away lol.

Pretty cool thing to see, even cooler when everybody was drunk as **** since it was my friend's birthday lol.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Bruce Jenner can claim he's Caitlyn all he wants, that's Bruce Jenner. Chris Jericho was and always will be a NYer.

Nah chief

 

[CHGoalie27]

Yep, that's right- he moved away from his hometown at the very young age of 2. No arguing that.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Crazy notion; Some people consider their hometown as the place they remember most fondly/spent more time in.

That's like when idiots refer to Steve Nash as a South African despite spending the majority of his youth growing up in Canada.

 

[GongShowWilly]

Alberta …. not close , a lot of guys claim they are from here as well
plus Stu Hart trained every good wrestler in the 70/80's

I met Lance Storm walking his dog here ……. pretender lol
He just moved to wrestling central

Vader
Bayley
Rikishi

Making a list though, she’s on it.

Don Callis also from Winnipeg.
Steve Corino and his sister Allison
Sarah Stock, who was in TNA, now backstage in WWE.

Find a tag team and we could do Winnipeg vs. the World in the all-time draft.

 

[GongShowWilly]

everyone good , was trained in …..

 

[boredmale]

Yukon

Yukon Eric
Yukon Pierre

aka Yukon Lumberjacks

 

[Edge]

Traditionally, in the States it pretty much comes down to Texas vs. Minnesota. When you look at those two states, it's not just who was born there, it's who was trained there, or got their start there, or broke through there as well.

Beyond that you'd have to consider states like Florida, Pennsylvania, New York and Georgia.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Missouri does okay, especially with some older eras

Harley Race
Freddie Blassie
Lou Thesz
Nick Bockwinkel
Cowboy Bob Orton
