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.
