Quite a few WWWF guys were locals.
Walter "Killer" Kowalski came from north of Boston (maybe Reading?) and was a seasonal camper at Bourne Scenic Park, and a sometimes Canal fisherman.
Professor Turo Tanaka used to own a bar called T-San's in Fall River, which I believe is now called the Depot.
Chief Jay Strongbow was from Providence, legend had it. He had a brother there who owned a business and had pictures of Strongbow all over the walls.
