9. Kendo Nagasaki
Style: Kendo In case you ever need to be reminded why you love the ridiculous athletic farce that is pro wrestling, you could do worse than to remember the tale of Kendo Nagasaki. Kendo, you see, is the disembodied spirit of a three century old samurai and sorcerer who, for reasons that remain utterly inscrutable, decided to possess journeyman British wrestler Peter Thornley. Kendo was massively successful and a household name throughout the 1970's, despite the fact that the ancient samurai possessing him seemed to know precious little about Japanese culture. I'm not possessed by an ancient anything, and even I'm pretty sure that there's no such traditional Japanese grappling maneuver as the rolling fireman's carry, and if there were, it would be called something far less racist than the "Kamikaze Crash".
