This is a very interesting round, especially once I realized there were several decent picks to be made. Knowing Pete, he is going to be very strict on the rules here, so I am going with the option which makes most sense for my hometown.
Picking a man that was born 20 minutes away from where I live in Lancashire. He's a man I have actually met as well. Growing up, he visited Ewood Park on many occasions with his father (a die hard Rovers supporter), whose family originates from my hometown. I also spent the majority of my spare time in the place of his birth, and still visit it regularly now.
Lancashire's Own. Wade Barrett

Valid.
For my pick, I'm going with someone actually from my Hometown. A former RQW Women's Champion, who has performed both in the UK, as well as for SHIMMER in the states, and was a regular in the ChickFight events.
I'll be taking "The Jezebel" Eden Black.
I could let Jon take his pick, but he already told me who he was taking, so in the interest of keeping things moving forward I'll do it for him. Jon is choosing to use his Tag Pick to exploit the fact he's a Chicago lad to pick The Second City Saints, CM Punk & Colt Cabana.
Sean has also PM'd me his pick for this round. Sean has decided to go with Bam Bam Bigelow. Frankly, who could blame him.
This puts George on the clock. In addition, Clint still needs to play this and the last round.
I'll be back in a minute to post the next round, and also announce what the Coin Flip is about this time.

OK, here's the next round.
ROUND 6: YOUR BIG DEBUT!
OK, this one, in my opinion, is an easy one. Pick a wrestler whose professional debut was the year of your birth. The pro wrestlign wikia is fairly easy to use to check this, although I will consider Wikipedia the ultimate answer in options with debate. I'll need to see the years you're using to double check, of course. You can PM them if you're for any reason concerned about putting it up (but of course, people can then just look up your answer and see for themselves).
Now, what everyone's been waiting for... THE COIN FLIP.
Same as most previous rounds, the Flip will occur at the end of each coming round, starting with the end of Round 6. We'll be running with Tails you win, Heads you lose.
If you win: You get to swap any one of your picks with any one of anybody else's picks. You can NOT swap a Tag Team picked with a Tag Rule Pick for a Tag Rule Pick, but you can swap a Tag Team from a Tag Team round for another one. You can, as always, swap individuals picked within the Tag Rule Pick. (For example, I could swap my Silver King for Jon's CM Punk, but I couldn't swap my Dr. Wagner, Jr. & Silver King for Jon's Second City Saints). Your swap will then be PROTECTED, meaning no one else can steal your prize. However, the wrestler traded away (to the victim) is NOT protected, meaning someone else can steal them, or the victim can trade them away.
If you lose: I will exchange one of your picks for somebody else valid for that round. The result will be humorous to me, but not necessarily to you. In the circumstance where you used a Tag Rule Pick, I'll either exchange both members for a valid , choice, or just one if there isn't a valid option.
I'll conduct the flips and the punishments except for when it's my turn to be flipped for, when I'll get someone else to do it. Probably Jon or Nick. The flip order will be randomly determined using an RNG.

Everybody here seems to be thinking that everybody else will win this whole hometown round thing. However, it seems that all of you are forgetting that I hail from the Steel City, which also happens to be home to the single longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion in the WWE Universe. That's right, with my pick, I select the one, the only............BRUNO SAMMARTINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moved to Pittsburgh in 1950, where he made his pro wrestling debut, and he's never left. Still resides in Ross Township, about 15 mins north of the city. I figured this met the criteria for switching cities.

Unfortunately, the criteria of the round is a wrestler born in your hometown, with the hometown criteria then expanded upon. It was never "someone who shares your hometown".

Sorry bud, but rules is rules.
Greg has already provided me with his pick of Seth Rollins.
Which means JV is up, to finish Round 5 and start Round 6.

Unless you're seven, I think you may have misunderstood the round. |

By my math, Greg's turn has been and gone, so he can pick whenever. I believe that makes it George O'Clock.
