Al Madril was a fixture for years in Texas but while he was well known there, he appeared in multiple promotions up and down the Pacific. Madril never was in the WWE, but his territorial work still holds a high place in many people’s memories.
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.
