290. Sho Funaki
With a decade plus tenure in the WWE and a won/loss record that resembles NBA expansion franchises, Sho Funaki was a great entertainer and a decent worker. Funaki is one of those wrestlers whose winning percentage does not reflect what he did in the ring. Initially a member of Kaientai in Japan, and then in the United States, Funaki was a singles wrestler for years and actually won the Cruiserweight Title with the WWE. He is probably not a Hall of Fame wrestler, but his overall body of work in the WWE is more than most people remember.
