4. Luna Vachon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vre5_vDrwCs She was the baddest of the bad, a psychotic anti-Diva who made women like AJ Lee, Mickie James, and Victoria look mentally stable by comparison. And we loved her for it! Luna Vachon was a woman who loved the business so much that she was willing to uglify herself to make her gimmick that much more believable. Daughter of Butcher Vachon and niece to Vivian and Mad Dog Vachon, it was obvious that Luna was destined for wrestling greatness despite her family attempting to dissuade her. In WWE, she had memorable feuds with Alundra Blayze, Sable, and Ivory. Unfortunately, her quest to become Women's Champion resulted in failure. Despite being warned that if she so much as scratched or bruised Sable in the ring that she'd be fired immediately, Luna always remained professional and managed to make even the greenest of workers look like a million dollars in the ring. This spoke tremendous levels in regards to her amazing talent as a wrestler and ring general. Aside from being a great wrestler, Luna was an experienced manager known for guiding the careers of Bull Nakano, Bam Bam Bigelow, Goldust, and at one point even accompanying Shawn Michaels to the ring. She was one of the most committed when it came to delivering a convincing promo and has the distinction of being one of the few women to have worked "the big three" (WCW, WWE, and ECW). Taking all this into account, why has WWE not inducted Luna? In 2010, Luna died of a drug overdose at 48, something WWE may not want brought up as drug abuse is often linked to the difficult life wrestlers often lead. If Luna were to be inducted, chances are there would have to be no other posthumous inductee unless Vivian, Butcher, and Luna were to be inducted together as a family faction to join Mad Dog who was inducted in 2010. If this were to happen, Butcher Vachon would have to accept the induction as Mad Dog died late in 2013 and Vivian passed away in 1991 after a collision with a drunk driver.
