Balls Mahoney may be best known for being a “chair swinging freak in ECW” but he did spend time in the WWE twice and was a top guy for Jim Cornette’s Smoky Mountain Wrestling.  Mahoney was a hardcore icon and was actually a decent amateur wrestler but it was that style that got him over, and likely led to his early death.

The father of all five of the Villanos (I through V), Ray Mendoza was a former boxer who would transition to a twenty-five year career in Lucha Libre.  Mendoza would be associated with the NWA Light Heavyweight Title for years and is one of the few wrestlers to have achieved near equal success as a face as he was as a heel.  He would later be part of the group that established the UWA promotion in Mexico.

Like Leilani Kai, for years Judy Martin could be counted on as a heel to always provide challenges in both singles and tags.  Martin would have many shots at the WWE Ladies Championship, but she will always be best known as one half of the Glamour Girls with Leilani Kai.

As of this writing, there has yet to be a referee inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and we are not counting Teddy Long, who largely got in on his role as a manager and the Smackdown general manager.  If that ever happens, our vote is for Earl Hebner.
