10 Wrestlers Who Were HUGE Marks For Themselves
7. Low Ki
Low Ki once recoiled at the idea of doing a job for Claudio Castagnoli, who is about eight times his size and, you could argue, a superior pro wrestler.
To use the wording of Kevin Owens, who once recounted that tale, Claudio is a “human horse”.
Low Ki is not a human horse, but he’ll kick you full-force in the head if he feels threatened, if that counts. He is in fact a warrior born and bred for combat. That’s his gimmick, but he very much lives it. He thinks he’s a legit tough guy and was notorious for throwing tantrums if a promoter failed to agree with that perception and not book him like 1998 Goldberg. All of the time.
He was stiff, reckless, and so high on himself generally that he never lasted long in any promotion. Remember those old Chuck Norris jokes?
Chuck Norris can strangle you with a cordless phone, Freddie Krueger has nightmares about Chuck Norris, that sort of thing.
That’s how Low Ki sees himself.
You know what’s strange?
If he was that tough and prideful, why didn’t he enter the world of mixed martial-arts?
It couldn’t be that he was just a fantasist trying to make himself feel good all along, could it?
