	[No title]
		Funaki, 15 at the time, was trained with the famous class of 1984 that included Liger, Benoit, Muto, Chono, Hashimoto, Nogami, etc. He was considered the fastest learner and best athlete of that New Japan camp.
		Funaki had a great chance to capture the title on 9/7/96 at Tokyo Bay NK Hall, a match that will likely remembered for decades and probably be on the short list of the matches that made shooting if the styles popularity continues to multiply.
		Funaki was favored to beat Rutten because of his far superior technical and submission skills and no one knew if Rutten had fully recovered from his car accident.

	The Japanese Pro-Wrestling/Reality Based Martial Art Connection, by Sam Chan
		Maeda personally trained Funaki and Suzuki in the UWF's "stiff style" wrestling and the group began to thrive with the addition of the two young wrestlers.
		Unfortunately, the UWF continued to have internal problems and on December 1, 1990 UWF President Shinji Jin announced that all wrestlers were fired and disbanded the promotion.
		Led by Masakatsu Funaki, they claimed to be looking to establish a wrestling organization that was 100% "shoot".

	Colm's website ::
		When Funaki and Suzuki moved on again for the formation of Pancrase in September 1993, Shamrock was just behind them, ready to equal and surpass their superstar status.
		And that was exactly what he did, by defeating Funaki in the main event of Pancrase's inaugural show on September 21.
		Shamrock's last appearance for Pancrase was June 25, 1996, where Masa Funaki won by default, because Shamrock was injured.

	Full Contact Fighter May 2000 News
		Funaki is one of the founders of Pancrase, and was known as one of the most complete fighters long before cross training has been the "in thing." A majority of his experience comes from Pancrase events where he has fought NHB notables such as the Shamrock brothers and Bas Rutten.
		Funaki has participated in a few NHB rules matches within the Pancrase organization and may be sharper, as far as recent experience, than Rickson.
		Funaki stood and began to kick Rickson lying on his back like Sakuraba often does.

		Not only that, but the rematch between Severn(who is an excellent fighter) and Shamrock did not prove that Severn was a better fighter, it only proved that he was willing to break the rules, AND the law(disobeying a judge's decision)when Shamrock wasn't.
		If you paid attention to Shamrock's history, you would also be aware he(shamrock) has forced Masa Funaki, a fighter with more skill than Tom Erickson will ever have, to slap the canvas.
		Also, Joe, you must not watch pancrase much, `cause if you did you'd know, yes, Ken DOES still fight, and yes, he DOES still win against world class opponents.All my rantings aside, this book is a very good, fast read.

		Check out his fight in Pancrase against Masa Funaki.
		Funaki tried to pull Bas in on him, but Rutten realized what was happening and broke the MF's nose with a vicious palm blow!
		I know he's slowed up recently in the UFC, he's still undefeated there, but most say he really shoud've lost his last fight.

	Why does every japanese wrestler that comes to WWE turned into jobber [Archive] - Puroresu Forum
		Taijiri and Funaki have gotten over, but it's been despite their Japanese backgrounds.
		Fans respect them for their skill but they like them for the humorous bits they've done or the spots they've performed.
		Having Bradshaw no-sell three-on-one attacks from Togo, Teioh and Funaki didn't help, but the Val Venis "feud" was indefensible, racist and disgusting, and didn't help Val a bit either.
