Birthplace: Webster, South Dakota If we're talking about people from small towns, look no further than the man who currently holds the WWE World Title. In 1977, there were approximately 2,400 people living in Webster, one of many very small populations for a town in South Dakota. Like nearly every other kid growing up there, he had no choice but to help his parents out on their farm, fostering a work ethic that would stay with him for the rest of his life. NCAA Heavyweight Champion as an amateur. WWE Champion as a 25-year-old rookie that only debuted five months prior. IWGP Heavyweight Champion for New Japan. UFC Heavyweight Champion as a Mixed Martial Artist. Conqueror of The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania. There will probably never be someone with that type of resume again.
