10 Most Unprofessional Wrestlers Ever

2. Low Ki

Low Ki was born in a hospital in the usual way, but in his mind, he descended from the heavens in some form of mystical warrior's ceremony as a gift to the art of battle.

The man - who chose to enter the world of predetermined professional wrestling and not real shoot combat sports - believes himself to be the hardest and most credible wrestler to have ever lived. He is a diminutive and slight fellow, and yet, per Kevin Owens, he was once put out at the prospect of doing a job for Claudio Castagnoli.

Claudio Castagnoli.

As Owens said, using his wonderful, resigned deadpan, Claudio Castagnoli is "a human horse" - and this refusal to do business was a recurring theme in Low Ki's career.

Ki had a high opinion of himself, and took himself so seriously that nobody else could. In an infamous moment, when a Combat Zone Wrestling match went awry, as a result of opponent Ric Blade knocking himself out, Ki had to be escorted from the premises. Look at the photo. He legitimately looks like an irate toddler removed from a restaurant by his humiliated parents when his tablet ran out of juice and he could no longer watch Bluey.

That was more funny than unprofessional, yes, but Ki - again, who liked to believe he trained the Gracie family - was less funny when he laid in stiff shots. In the most infamous of many instances, he once struck Chris Hero so hard in the face that Hero, who never forgave him, branded Ki the most unprofessional wrestler of all time.
