Gimmick Hometowns

[@smarkmouth]

Should we bring more back, or are they a vestige of a bygone era?

(Shit, I hit enter before I was ready. I had a poll and everything)

I was glad they didn't nerf the Dudley gimmick, having them still hail from Dudleyville. I'd enjoy seeing a few more folks in the population of 'Parts Unknown'. The last new one that I remember was Deuce and Domino, 'from The Wrong Side of the Tracks'.

I also think Orton should hail from Outta Nowhere.

Undertaker still comes from "Death Valley", even though when he was the American Bad Ass they announced him from "Houston, Texas" I think.

Doesn't Stardust have a gimmick hometown still- his Wiki page says he's been announced from "The Fifth Dimension" and "The Milky Way".

I'd be fine with more of them being used, as long as it fitted the gimmick of the wrestler.

Always enjoyed Triple H (from Nashua, New Hampshire) being billed from Greenwich, Connecticut.........and now he really lives there.

Yeah, but he's from Michigan.

The "City of Angels" hometown is only used to fit in with his gimmick.

Not everyone is booked where they are legitimately from
i.e Dolph Ziggler

I know that.

All I meant was that he uses the City of ANGELS because he's the Fallen ANGEL. That's all.

It was just an example of gimmick hometown I like.

Ryback is no longer from Sin City since being a face I've noticed, just Las Vegas now

Once you reach main-event level, it should probably be a real city. The thing with gimmick hometowns is that you can never sell a fuckton of tickets by holding a show in Wherever-he-damn-well-pleases.

I don't really know that it matters much. True main event level stars are going to sell a fuckton of tickets regardless of city.

Didn't Jericho and Benoit change where they were from around 2004?
