Top 5 WWE wrestlers from Georgia

The WWE’s status as the premiere wrestling promotion in the world means that professional wrestlers from all across the globe are part of the roster in this day and age. Despite this diversity, there are always hotbeds of wrestling talents which are unrivalled.

One of these hotbeds happens to be the state of Georgia. Often the cause for mass confusion due to the name it shares with the European country, there are no jokes to be made about wrestlers who come out of this state in the South of the United States of America.

In today’s list, we will see that some of the biggest names in all of professional wrestling have called the great state of Georgia their home. So, without any further ado, here are the top 5 WW wrestlers from Georgia.

Honourable Mention – Xavier Woods who hails from Columbus, Georgia and is currently a resident of Atlanta, Georgia.

#5 Ron Simmons

You know that the wrestlers on this list have to be something special if they’re able to keep out Xavier Woods – a member of the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions of all time, The New Day – and to start us off, we have Ron Simmons.

If that name sounds unfamiliar to you, it might be because he made way to his stardom under the gimmick of Farooq, former leader of The Nation of Domination and tag team partners with Bradshaw during their run as The Acolytes and APA.

Simmons is one the most respected men in the industry and is also a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. He was part of the class of 2012 where he took his rightful place with the all-time pro-wrestling greats.

He was originally born in Perry, Georgia and continues to reside in the state even today in Marietta, Georgia.
