25 Greatest "Martial Arts" Wrestlers Ever

17. Kung Fu Naki

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kung_Fu_Naki.jpgStyle: Kung Fu Fighting (Fast As Lightning) WWE isn't a company noted for their racial sensitivity, but even so, Kung Fu Naki was hardly a highlight. In 2008, longtime cruiserweight jobber Funaki revealed that his full name was actually Kung Fu Naki, and he would begin to incorporate that martial art into his wrestling. He got a faux-Carl Douglas theme and everything. The only problem, of course, is that WWE somehow believed that Karate Kid was about kung fu, because this new Funaki dressed and fought like Ralph Macchio, right down to the rising sun headband. Brother even started putting people away with the Crane Kick. I mean, kung fu does have a crane school, but I don't think it emphasizes hopping up and down to throw a weak front kick.
