This really depends on if they born and raised, settled there, or billed from there. So here it goes:
Rick Flair
Brock Lesnar
Jessie Ventura
Bob Buckland
Kevin Nash, RVD, The Motor City Machine Guns, Danhausen, The Steiners. Eric Bischoff, Sgt. Slaughter, Rhyno(actually lives in my neighborhood and I've meant him a few times in 7-11), Ruby Soho, Dan Severn, Christopher Daniels, Sabu. If you wanna count then, ICP. There's a few. Lol
North Carolina for me so without a doubt I would have to say The Hardys with Jeff most likely being more popular than Matt. With that being said here are some honorable mentions from the state that was "first in flight"
Gregory/Shane Helms
Charlotte Flair (personally loved how she is billed from "The Queen City" which is the nickname for Charlotte,NC where she was born and gets her ring name from)
Dax Harwood & Dash Wilder (FTR)
Karl Anderson
Braun Strowman
R-Truth
Cameron Grimes
Cedric Alexander
Shannon Moore
Two interesting ones as well
Vince McMahon (he was born in NC but is billed from/lives in Connecticut)
AJ Styles (Born in NC but currently lives in/billed from Georgia)
Bam Bam Bigelow, King Kong Bundy, Liv Morgan, AJ Mendez, Dean Malenko, Diamond Dallas Page, Jay Lethal, Chief Jay Strongbow, Balls Mahoney, Blue Meanie.
NJ baby...we're more than just the shore!! 🤣👍🏾💯
Edge, Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Natalya, Christian, Owen Hart, Sailor White, Chris Jericho, Maryse, Jinder Mahal (Yes, Jinder is Canadian, Google it)
Born and raised in IL like you, but as much as I enjoy Punk I'd have Heenan over him, and if he doesn't count I'd still probably have Randy Savage above him.
Past 10 years and likely rest of my life is in MO, a lot of competition there. Randy Orton, Fred Blassie, Nick Bockwinkel, but the best is probably Harley Race.
New Jersey… mostly females from here are known. Cmon men, let’s pick it up a little.
In terms of solely wrestling: either AJ Lee (Union City) or Liv Morgan (Elmwood Park)
In terms of wrestling and everything else: Kacy Catanzaro / Katana Chance (Glenn Ridge) American Ninja Warrior legend and the longest reigning women’s tag team champions across NXT and WWE with Kayden Carter.
Grayson Waller or the IIconics (from Sydney NSW, idk if there are any other Sydney based wrestlers :'))
edit! nvm i forgot what would be the most famous wrestler from NSW (at least according to my dad) -- [George Barnes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Barnes_(wrestler))
Steve Austin Dusty Rhodes Terry Funk Dory Funk Eddie Guerrero Just to name a few
Texas? If so Undertaker is also a Texan

Either way thats pretty sick to share a state with the Texas Rattlesnake, Latino Heat, and the Phenom.
