10 wrestlers with fake hometowns

#6 Yokozuna - Tokyo, Japan, originally from San Franci

Yokozuna

In the early 1990s, there was a groundswell of resentment in America toward the country of Japan. It was believed -- erroneously -- and hyped up on right-wing media that Japanese corporations were 'buying all the land' and gobbling up businesses in America.

Seeking to capitalise on this unfortunate cultural phenomenon to gain cheap heel heat, the WWE debuted Yokozuna, a mock-sumo who was really a member of the famous Anoa'i clan of Samoan wrestlers.

Yokozuna even became WWE champion, and feuded with such legends as Bret Hart and Lex Luger. He died in 2000 from heart failure, but he remains alive as a legend in wrestling.
