Texas, Georgia, and New York.

Why does Minnesota have so many wrestlers of all fucking places?

>>1745240
It's cold and dark and there really isn't shit to do in eastern Minnesota

I feel bad for Jericho. Imagine how bad that fat fuck smells.
>>
>>1745240
It was the home turf of the AWA for a long time.

You'll notice that a lot of the great wrestling states were longtime homes of big territories
>>
>>1745247
Where is BMAJ from?

michigan. every other answer is for jobbers

HE'S A SOUTHERN BOY

Verne Gagne's promotion was a major hotbed in the territory days. He recruited exclusively out of the midwest and destroyed rival promotions in Chicago and St. Louis. Also a long tradition of having a bunch of jacked white boys and is a traditionally lower class population who love garbage like wrestling.
>>
>>1745246
So its cold so they did gay hugging a lot, haha, makes sense.

My vote goes to the Florida Georgia combo. Like >>1745253 said, a major territory.
>>
>>1745262
Honestly the south in general is where the most talent comes from
>>
>>1745266
But isn't the Twin Shitties a generally wealthy populous? Not that those people are second class citizen, hipster fags...
>>
>>1745240
They get tough as fuck because it's freezing. Take an ice cold shower and see how long you last. You'll either jump out instantly or survive until it feels like nothing and you'll be energized and feel like you can take on the world. People in Minnesota are always taking a cold shower so it's always the latter with them. then you get guys like Lesnar
>>
>>1745255
Mauro references the peach state like ten times every BMAJ match, dude. Unmute your TV.
>>
Tennessee has an alright list but isn't the best
>>
>>1745283
MN is a shit load of farmland with 1 metropolitan area to sell shit. All the wealthy families send their children to that area and then they settle down and have families. There is a whole lot of hick Minnesota. They elected Jesse Ventura and Michelle Bachmann ffs.
>>
>>1745283
>But isn't the Twin Shitties a generally wealthy populous? Not that those people are second class citizen, hipster fags...
They weren't getting them from the Twin Cities
>>
North Carolina
>>
>>1745293
I lived there off and on and it's mostly nu males desu. The logic is sound but I think that state is lost. Gable may be the last great.

Most were always billed from Minneapolis, weren't they?
>>
>>1745321
they don't got out and do anything. they sit in the house with the heater up in a sweater drinking hot cocoa. should have said men who do stuff in that type of environment will inevitably become tough
>>
>>1745331
Of course they're gonna say Minneapolis, you think anyone has ever heard of Muskogen?
>>
>>1745341
Makes sense. Same reason Canucks have a good legacy. Not sure why the south is such a hot bed... Assuming it's more cultural.
>>

>calling ventura a hick

What about Cali?

I know there's Sting, Warrior, and Joe
>>
Texas:

SCSA
Tully Blanchard
Goldust
Eddie Guerrero
Stan Hansen
HBK
Dick Murdoch
Dusty Rhodes
Tito Santana
Kerry Von Erich
The Undertaker
Barry Windham

There's like 12 Dave Meltzer five star matches among these guys. And these re just the good ones, too. The list would double if I name everyone that's popular from Texas.

>>1745303
The only that really comes close imo and it's less because of the number of good ones and more the sheer pedigree held by guys like

Ric Flair
Jerry Lawler
Terry Gordy
Bill Dundee

>Rednecks are master thespians of the art of wrestling for some reason, really funny and eccentric guys who put on good matches and are so good get lost in the gimmick, start walking around in public with feather boas dressed like elvis or something

The south is clearly the dominate region of america that produces the best wrestlers.
