Hooters has locations in many states. That's "hooter"ville to me.
I believe the show was filmed in Hollywood, California ... so Hooterville was there!!!
Hooterville is a fictional town. No state can claim it. They were perhaps living in the "Twilight Zone".
The name of the state that Hooterville was located in was never mentioned.
But in the first episode of Green Acres, Oliver told Lisa he had to fly to Chicago and change planes a few times to get to Hooterville.
In another episode he mentions Springfield (? Illinois' state capital ?) was only a four hour drive. This could make it somewhere in very rural Illinois, or a neighbouring state.
There are people versed in detecting local dialects of American-english. Listening to the show, focusing on the accents, a most likely state could be detected.
A clever rich man might create a real tourist attraction town of Hooterville to attract the money of us baby boomers.

From Wikipedia: "The location of Hooterville was never explicitly stated, but it was implied to be in or very near Illinois. In numerous episodes it was said that they were close to Chicago; in one Green Acres episode, Mr. Haney said Chicago was 300 miles (480 km) away. Another time it was said a nearby town was called Springfield, which is also the name of the capital city of Illinois."
I really enjoyed that show. It seems/ed so corny, especially now, but when that show came out, it was all original comedy for TV. Poor Mr. Douglas, having to climb that pole to use the telephone. I also watched Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies...nice trip down memory lane.

Funk over Orndorff - "Mr. Wonderful" was pretty great, but not as great as Terry Funk. He also wrestled the business in the wrong direction (start in the WWF, go down to indies). Funk, on the other hand, payed his dues, won his titles, payed more dues, wrestled in indies... he did it all. And he did it well. Dynamite over Hart - Well, I know it's a lost cause. Most people on these boards will say that Hart was a better worker, and one of the best of all time. I know a lot of people would disagree. Ric Flair would disagree, and tried to expose Hart as a not very interesting wrestler. I'll go with Kid here because Bret Himself has said on multiple occasions that Kid was "pound-for-pound, the greatest wrestler who ever lived". Steamboat over Savage over Sting - I can't believe you forgot Steamboat. Maybe i'll look like an idiot if he pops up somewhere else in the brackets. Otherwise, you've just proven my point about him being completely underrated and overlooked. (Savage over sting). Savage could go for a while. A long while. Just ask Ricky Steamboat. Terry Funk also thinks Randy Savage was the first guy to ever put anyone through a table. Malenko over Benoit - I think both guys were great wrestlers (obviously), and neither were particularly great on the mic. But Malenko was a bit better. And apparently, really funny backstage. Hart over Angle - Angle's a great mat guy, etc. Owen could do it all, and likely would have had his career not been cut short. Austin over Hogan - Well, I guess it takes one era-defining wrestler to eliminate another. I like Austin in all his incarnations, particularly as the last holder of the Million Dollar Belt. He could work, he could go, and he could certainly take Hogan. HBK over Taker - Ooooh, here's a doozy. I think Taker's a good guy, but his career hasn't always been that solid. He's had some huge ups, but definitely a lot of downs in terms of wrestling ability. He often just relied on his gimmick to get over. For Michaels, I've never seen him get too lazy. He gets the win here, and revenge for a whole lot of pain caused by the dead man. Flair over the Rock - I can't see anyone going the other way. I just can't.

Still assuming no "WWE" advantage: Terry Funk. As I said before, if he couldn't out-wrestle you he'd out-fight you. If he couldn't out-fight you, he'd out-"crazy" you. Bret Hart. Hate to see Dynamite leave so soon, but the Hitman would just out-wrestle him and make him tap to the Sharpshooter. Sting. A little better wrestler than Savage, I think. Sting would win by submission to the Scorpion Deathlock. Chris Benoit. Damn...what a match-up! Chris' strength advantage would be the difference here. Dean would eventually tap to the Crippler Crossface. Kurt Angle. As great as Owen was, so is Kurt. Kurt's meaner and more ferocious. No submission here, Kurt would just have to wear Owen out and pin him. Hulk Hogan. Hogan CAN wrestle. He's bigger and stronger than Austin, too. The Undertaker. Shawn's good, real good. I just think the Undertaker can beat him. Ric Flair. Flair had no trouble out-wrestling the big guys. The Rock would be no different.
