If you grew up watching wrestling in the 80s, you may recall the most mysterious and frightening wrestlers were billed as hailing from ‘Parts Unknown’. The Ultimate Warrior was the most famous wrestler from PU, a list that also included Demolition, Papa Shango and the Berzerker. It was just a fantastic piece of pro wrestling lore. Well, the WWE creative department has decided to ruin some precious childhood memories and declared that Parts Unknown is a town in Wisconsin. Yes, Papa Shango, Doink, the Missing Link and Giant Gonzales all grew up in Wisconsin apparently.

“After doing some extensive research, I’ve actually found Parts Unknown,” Jericho boldly stated. “It’s not in Nepal, it’s not in the Fiji Islands … it’s actually right next to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It’s Parts Unknown, Wisconsin.”
“I’ve tracked down the city but you can’t find it on the map and it’s not in the GPS,” Jericho revealed. “I’ve tried a couple times after shows in Sheboygan or on the way to Green Bay and I get lost every time.”
“It’s kind of like the Cantina Bar in Star Wars,” he explained. “You have all these rogues, ruffians, gypsies, tramps and thieves all hanging out together.”
He continued, “They aren’t good people; all their parents were poor. Demolition’s parents were poor. Ultimate Warrior’s parents were very poor; his mother was a washer woman and his father worked selling nuts in the streets at red lights.”
