Birthplace: Las Vegas, Nevada With as popular as Las Vegas is, some would say it's almost a surprise that there aren't more big stars from Nevada, but that's only because Vegas' popularity is based more on transplanted people moving there after falling in love with the place. Ryback isn't a terrible choice, though, all things considered. Over the last few years, few wrestlers can claim to have the type of face pops that he has received. While it hasn't led to him reaching the top of the mountain, there is still time for that in the future, which would certainly solidify his place here.
