Why is it that WWE lie about things like places where wrestlers are from. For example WWE bill Gregory Helms from Raleigh, North Carolina but he is actually from Smithfield, North Carolina.
Mr. Kennedy is billed from Green Bay Wisconsin but he is actually from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Whats with that?

i am not an idiot, I am actually a smark really. I realize why they say the are heavier or taller than they actually are but I just don't see the advantage of saying someone is from somewhere else when they are not.

I GET ALL THAT YOU ARE SAYING BUT WHAT THE HELL IS THE ADVANTAGE OF IT. I KNOW MORE ABOUT WRESTLING THAN MOST OF YOU BUT I JUST DON'T SEE THE ADVANTAGE OF IT. I REALIZE THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS LIKE WITH KANE, BOOGEYMAN AND TAKER DUE TO THERE GIMMICK

I agree there is no advantage to it...especially Rey Mysterio, who i love..but he's billed at 5'6'', but he's really 5'3''...but its obvious when you put him up against The Great Khali, that he's a clear 2ft smaller!!
but i sometimes get the heights and weights...but when it comes to places...its downright pointless!!

Do you really think the boogeyman is from the Dark Pits or Undertaker is from Death Valley. I believe some of the places and wrestlers are actually real. Especially if they are from Canada.

generally it's due to a few things:
- people know bigger towns over smaller ones
- you can't have kane from "madrid, spain".. gimmicks are included on things like that
- just sounds better to hear people from better sounding places.
oh, and no one wanted to hear " you live in the same town the ultimate warrior's from... hahaha!"

true, plus when Taker was the "American Bad ***" Taker he was billed from Houston, TX (which is his hometown). and Stone Cold was billed from Victoria, TX and his real hometown was Edna, TX. i'm know i just made a reference to the Two most famous wrestlers from my home state of TX.

its mostly so the wrestlers can have some privacy wen home....that n it goes wit some of the guy's gimmicks.....take undertaker as an example....they say he's from Death Valley which goes wit his gimmick...but i doubt he lives in Death Valley......

If you didn't know, wrestling is itself a lie. It is all fake and all make believe. It sole purpose is to entertain, so you don't have to worry your little head about the fact they are lying about where such and such are from.
Wrestling is fake and should be viewed only as entertainment, if you are watching to gain carnal knowledge then the end of the world is coming soon!!!
