So, Funaki actually got a clean pinfall victory on SD. Now that he is Kung Fu Naki, does anyone see him becoming a midcarder? Maybe even get a U.S. Title match or two?
just like other times,he will be good for a month or 2 and randomly leave
still can't believe he hasn't been released from his contract one time since 1998(according to wikipedia),one of the few superstars from the attitude era still around and never released since then
Funaki's win over MVP wasn't anything serious, and I don't think he gets a US title shot. He's only going to be comedic relief. His role will basically consist of getting a few lucky wins (Like tonight), and being a guy who heels beat up to get heat. After all, Funaki is a likable guy. He doesn't have the size or credibility (Decades of jobbing) to become a serious contender for any title. The comedic role fits him though, and is where he should be.
Not gonna lie, I love this gimmick (although it might just be because of the entrance theme).

He's like Charlie Haas, he gets a surprising push, appears on TV as a comic relief, but when did you ever saw a comic relied be reliable to go the distance? i have a soft place in my heart for Jobbers like Funaki so I'm glad he's being pushed, and wishes the same for Val Venis

The undercard is getting to be as entertaining as it was during the Attitude Era.
Now, if only there was still a European (and/or Hardcore) Championship for them to fight over.
