Mick Foley is from New York, though born elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't count Jericho as New York given that he wasn't raised there.
Nope, Jericho was born the son of a New York Ranger. His first 5 years living not far from where I lived my first 5 years, he's a NYer.

Jericho claims Winnipeg, therefore, he is from Winnipeg.

Not really. Lance Storm claims that he's from Calgary and he didn't even show up there until after he had finished university. Jericho at least primarily grew up in Winnipeg.

My buddy's dad actually had communications class with Jericho. I **** you not. The Chris Jericho of 30 years ago was a lot more timid and introverted compared to the guy he is now according to him.

I've seen the pictures and can confirm it was actually Jericho. Long before he had the blonde hair too which blew me away lol.

Pretty cool thing to see, even cooler when everybody was drunk as **** since it was my friend's birthday lol.

Yep, that's right- he moved away from his hometown at the very young age of 2. No arguing that.

Crazy notion; Some people consider their hometown as the place they remember most fondly/spent more time in.

That's like when idiots refer to Steve Nash as a South African despite spending the majority of his youth growing up in Canada.

Ehhhh, not so much as the other 3.
Making a list though, she’s on it.

Don Callis also from Winnipeg.
Steve Corino and his sister Allison
Sarah Stock, who was in TNA, now backstage in WWE.

Find a tag team and we could do Winnipeg vs. the World in the all-time draft.

Traditionally, in the States it pretty much comes down to Texas vs. Minnesota. When you look at those two states, it's not just who was born there, it's who was trained there, or got their start there, or broke through there as well.

Beyond that you'd have to consider states like Florida, Pennsylvania, New York and Georgia.
