You forgot "Parts Unknown"
Billed From/Hailing From
One thing pro wrestling has to call its own is being able to pretend that certain wrestlers come from basically anywhere.
The ones we've heard over the years are really up there
From Death Valley, From Whereever He Dam Well Pleases(LOL), From The Boiler room, From The Serengetti, From The Jungle, From The Deepest Darkest Corner Of His Mind, From Dudleyville
really does help the uniqueness of the characters since we are trusting the announcer to tell us EXACTLY where this man or womn is from
Did you know that there really is a Death Valley, a place in New Mexico called Truth Or Consequenses and that there is a Bombay Road in Midland,Michigan
are there any others i'm missing that are worth a mention

Daniel Bryan is only billed from his real hometown in Aberdeen, Washington because that's where Kurt Cobain lived. Otherwise he'd probably be billed from Seattle.

Yeah, Death Valley is in California (it also is the nickname for Louisiana State University's Tiger Stadium). Most of the divas are billed from their actual place of birth/hometown: Melina is from L.A.; Kelly, Alicia, and Michelle are all from the towns in Florida WWE bills them from; Maryse was born and has roots in Laval, which is a suburb of Montreal (she went to school in Brunswick); Beth is from around Buffalo; Natalya is from Calgary, etc.
But I must admit, I'm glad most of the roster is billed from actual cities they lived or are currently living in. I do wish that certain roster members (like Rosa and Gail who are from Vancouver and Toronto respectively I believe) would get their actual hometown as their billed one, especially if its outside the States.

I liked the fact that "Parts Unknown" was always used to make the supernatural or mysterious characters seem even more bizarre and enigmatic.

Let's not forget about Mankind being from The Boiler Room. I always thought that was cool.

Yes, but it worked. It also created the match which, up to that point, was the biggest betrayal I had ever seen.

It was perfect for his gimmick. He was a deranged freak with no home who just hung out in boiler rooms all the time.

Despise the fact that Mason Ryan is billed from Cardiff, Wales. Any British person could listen to his accent and tell he's from northern Wales, not southern. That said, I'd like to hear Tony Chimel try to say "Tremadog, Gywnedd, Wales" when he struggles with "Rated R Suuuuperstar!!"

I never had the chance to see much of them on the show, but I do remember that from WWF WarZone (the game). I also remember WWE Raw 2 for the Xbox had some pretty strange places to bill created wrestlers from, such as "His Mom's Basement".

Del Rio is royalty, so all of Mexico is his kingdom...but you already knew that. So I understand why it isn't announced since we all know already.
Edit: I hate that I can't remember but Kenny Omega is billed from somewhere awesome. Anyone?
