10 "Foreign" Wrestlers Who Weren't Really Foreign At All

10. Lana

In case you hadn't noticed, Lana's accent is about as authentic as a genuine Japanese cuisine restaurant in Calgary. The Ravishing Russian in fact comes from Portuguese and Venezuelan descent and spent most of her childhood in the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Though she spent years learning ballet in Latvia, Lana was born in the very un-Russian city of Gainesville, Florida. Once pursuing her love for ballet, Lana applied her dancing abilities in the United States from 1999 until her NXT signing in 2013. This is where the real foreign fun begins.

As a Portuguese-Venezuelan-American adopting a terrible accent accent, Lana became the Russian social ambassador for Rusev, a Bulgaria-born grappler who was cast as a Russian. Good stuff.

Lana's phony Russian accent is made all the more humourous now that she is making it on her own in the Women's Division with no storyline ties to the world's largest nation.
