One night in a drunken chat (OK, no one was drunk. Well, maybe they were but I wasn't. Oh, forget it) we played a game about wrestlers names. Someone challenged us to come up with names of wrestlers that had a state, city, or country in their name.
It can't be a nickname like "The British Bulldog". It has to be the name they go by when they wrestle.
I came up with a few:
Paul London
Steve Austin
Brooklyn Brawler (That is his wrestling name so it is OK. They only started using his real name.)
Well, you get the idea. I am too tired to think about more so help me out. Veteran or current wrestlers are fine.
How many can we name?
You mean like..
Diamond Dallas Page
for example..
Kevin Nash was called OZ for a short time.
Then Vinnie Vegas.
'Dirty' Dan Denton
Don Muraco (Morracco)
Lord Littlebrook
Polish Power - Ivan Putski
Terry Yorkston
Owen Hart - Owen Sound Ontario (okay thats a stretch)
Gus 'Frenchy' Champagne
The Hollywood Hunks
Cuban Assassin (Angel Acevedo)
Yeah a few are stretches. Polish Power doesn't count because it is a nickname and an Owen is a real stretch.
The others are good. Yeah I forgot about DDP. There is also Dallas who is Lance Hoyt but he was Dallas for a long time before they went with his real name.
There was the West Hollywood Blondes too which were Lenny and Lodi.
I know there are others!
Jesse Ventura
Sam Houston
Orlando Jordan
Chris Jericho
Samoa Joe
Austin Aries (ROH)
Jody Hamilton Formerly known as the Assassain

<img src="/images/graemlins/wall.gif" alt="" /> Thats all I can think of for now.
How about BoBo Brazil?
Jimmy Golden? (Golden Colorado)
Chyna? (Well, close enough)
Frank "Air" Paris?
Bill Watts? (A 'hood in Los Angeles)
Venus? (Of OVW fame, although short lived so far)
AND TONY ATLAS, NOT A CITY, STATE OR COUNTRY, BUT THE WHOLE DANGED GLOBE!)
Well if your pushing it that much we can count
The Rock, hey it's a place..
Well ... now we are wicked stretching it.
Some of those are great though and I hadn't thought of them.
Any chicks with names like that?
Oh well
Victoria.
for starters..
Beth Phoenix.
That's my one contribution to this thread! YAY!
