Tracy Smothers was a southern wrestler through and through but while that was what he was best at, he was a capable talker and brawler and better than he got credit for as an overall in-ring performer.  Smothers first gained national attention as one half of the Southern Boys with Steve Armstrong, but his best work took place in Smoky Mountain Wrestling where he was their champion and a main event talent.  He would later entertain fans in ECW where he embraced his inner "Italian roots."   It is, however, hard to induct someone who competed in the WWE as Freddie Joe Floyd.

You could argue that Bart Gunn really got the shaft by the WWE and as such you forget that he had a decent run.  He entered the WWE with his kayfabe brother, Billy, and they would win the World Tag Team Championship three times.  When the team broke-up they saw more money in Billy and eventually (albeit in another tag team), he became the much bigger star when he was in the New Age Outlaws and finally D-Generation X.

There were not that many female wrestlers in the 1960s and 1970s but those that were able to make it was among the toughest women in the world, but few of them could hold a candle to Kay Noble.

Paco Alonso is the grandson of Salvador Lutteroth, who we would argue is one of the most important men in Mexican wrestling.  Alonso began working for EMLL in 1975, and by 1987 he took over the promotion.  Now named CMLL, Alonso oversaw a promotion that has seen over 80 million people cross through a turnstile and while he does keep a hands-off approach and gives few interviews about his role, this level of success took place under his watch, and any wrestling pundit should never ignore that.
