Cedarhurst, New York -- though better known for its suburban charm as one of "the Five Towns" -- has its own brushes with professional wrestling.
WFAN host and local son Evan Roberts grew up in Cedarhurst, graduating from nearby Lawrence High School in the early 2000s. Over the years, Roberts has woven wrestling into his radio persona, regularly discussing WWE storylines, providing live-event recaps (including WrestleMania), and even engaging with wrestling guests and fans on WFAN’s flagship shows.
On the musical front, Cedarhurst also claims Lil Tecca, the rapper who grew up in town after moving from Queens and later attended Lawrence High. In 2020, Tecca released “Royal Rumble,” a hard‑hitting track directly inspired by wrestling’s iconic pay‑per‑view. The song comes complete with an official music video that riffs on title‑fight energy and wild entrances.
