Lawrence, New York -- one of "the Five Towns" -- is known to overlap with Cedarhurst. In turn, the Cedarhurst entry of this LibGuide also includes Lil Tecca, the rapper who grew up in town after moving from Queens and later attended Lawrence High School. 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.
Lawyer Michael Cohen is documented to have been raised in Lawrence. He has served as an attorney for Donald Trump (a WWE Hall of Famer). However, their falling out would later be detailed within Cohen's memoir, 2020's Disloyal: A Memoir. His work with Trump overlapped with Trump's Battle Of The Billionaires WWE storyline from 2009.
Lawrence was documented to have held a wrestling event known as USA Pro Hollywood Hell in March 2001 at the Hollywood Atrium Club. The card included appearances by Low Ki, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Prince Nana, Pat Tanaka, Sunny (Tammy Sytch), Chris Candido, and Missy Hyatt.
The same promotion held USA Pro Fan Fest in 2003, which featured appearances by CM Punk, Bam Bam Bigelow, Virgil, The Sandman, Justin Credible, Low Ki, Raven, and Matt Striker.
