10 Wrestlers Who Were Punished For Breaking Kayfabe

10. Koji Kitao

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4nlN0mvXCc Sumo wrestler-turned-pro wrestler Koji Kitao found quick success in wrestling. He became a part of Genichiro Tenryu's Super World of Sports promotion, and he and Tenryu actually had a brief run in WWE, defeating Demolition at WrestleMania VII. The two companies had a working relationship, and when WWE sent John "Earthquake" Tenta - also a former sumo - to wrestle Kitao in SWS, the Japanese star almost ended his own career with poor decision-making. For reasons only he knows, Kitao refused to cooperate with Tenta, and the match quickly broke down. Before it turned into a full-blown fight, though, Kitao rolled out of the ring, grabbed the house microphone and announced to the fans that wrestling was fake, and if it were real, Tenta could never beat him. Other wrestlers pulled Kitao to the back, and he was subsequently fired from SWS.
