New Jersey: "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers

Birthplace: Camden, New Jersey When you're the man that Ric Flair sees and says "I want to be like him", you're something special. Rogers is the innovator of the Figure-Four, and his style and attitude is seen all over anything you've seen from Flair through the years. He used that to carry him to two World Title victories, being the very first person to win both the NWA World Title and the title that is now known as the WWE World Title (known as the WWWF World Title at the time of his victory). Rogers is one of the greats of his era, and one of those people that could have been a success in other eras, fitting right in.
