Rich Kraetsch did research on what state were the most Hall of Famers born in. One would immediately think it's Texas, but because of where they were born, it ends up being a trick question. There were 77 from the U.S., 28 from Japan, 21 from Mexico, 13 from Canada, 5 from the U.K., 4 from France and 3 from Italy. As far as states goes, Texas is only tied with New York, with six each. The Texas-born Hall of Famers are Stan Hansen, Dusty Rhodes, Fritz Von Erich, Steve Austin, Undertaker and Eddy Guerrero. The trick is that Shawn Michaels was born in Arizona, Bruiser Brody in Michigan and Dory Funk Sr., Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk were all born in Hammond, IN, not Amarillo, as almost everyone would think, as Texas should be given credit for producing the most pro wrestling superstars. New York has Chris Jericho (who most think was from Winnipeg, where he grew up), Paul Heyman, Ricky Steamboat (who grew up in Florida), Ed Don George, Billy Sandow and William Muldoon. Tennessee, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Michigan, Indiana and California all have four, with Tennessee's four being Ric Flair (born in Memphis but usually associated with either Minneapolis or Charlotte), Terry Gordy, Jerry Lawler and Eddie Graham. The city with the most Hall of Famers born in was Mexico City with five, with Guadalajara, Montreal, Tokyo, Chicago and Hammond, IN all with three. Chicago and Hammond are neighboring cities, and aside from those two cities, the only cities where two Hall of Famers were born was Memphis (Lawler and Flair) and Little Rock (Bobo Brazil and Danny McShane). What's also notable is Robbinsdale, MN only has Verne Gagne as a Hall of Famer, but has Curt Hennig and Gene Okerlund on the ballot, and Rick Rude, formerly on the ballot.
