30 Surprising WWE Facts You Probably Didn't Know

In 2001, the WWF’s version of the Kai En Tai stable had been quietly dissolved when all of the villainous Orientals in the faction left the company, with the exception of Funaki and Taka Michinoku, who remained to form a comedic tag team under the same name.

Riffing off the cliched Hollywood practice of appalling overdubbing of kung fu movies, Kai En Tai would excitedly cut promos to a dead mic, while a deep, out-of-synch American voice would boom over the PA with the English dub of the promo.

Inevitably, Taka would end with the word ‘EEEEVIL!’, and Funaki would tack ‘INDEEEED!’ on the end.

A rarity for WWE comedy gimmicks, the bit was actually funny. Perhaps that’s because Shane McMahon came up with it rather than his father. What few people realised was that the hilariously over-the-top dubbed voice was Shane as well.

Eeeevil indeeeed.
