I was looking at the individual rankings and some recent tournament results and we have in Kansas:

Willie Mays-275-KC Washington (Baseball Player)
Jimmy Stewart-215-Paola (Actor)

Are there any others?

This really isn't a famous name, but I always thought this was one of the great all-time wrestling names...

There was a guy from Rockford, Iowa back in the day named Rock Rideout. Honestly, that was his name.

I do remember a guy who wrestled a few years back named Emmitt Smith. Not sure what school he was from though.

I can back up the claims of a legendary Sumner Academny wrestler named Emmitt Smith. i cant think of any other famous names and I dont mean to deviate from the post, but i want to add a few wrestler's that had some cool,interesting or odd names:
-Mike Ironside, Ali Sultani, Sequoya Hill, Mark Moos, Ken Livengood, Cory Bloodgood, Studie/Jon/Alex Red Corn, Will Service, Justin Broadbent.

Anyone else know of a few?
