Dude, it's been more than 9 Years and the guy is still in WWE running wild. He has some stupid Matches or funny segments once a year or something on Smackdown! and he is still there, I thought that he was fired in the recent WWE *Firings* but I saw him on Smackdown and I'm shocked that he still has his spot in the crowded roster of the WWE, is he a McMahon or what? Vince loves Funaki? So many great guys have been fired but there is this one little guy who just doesn't get fired, damn!
Don't you think the guy has had enough Money and he should be fired, or if you think he is really good then tell me why? :poster_dots: I have heard that he has an Amazing Backstage Attitude, does that really count?

If the WWE have no black wrestlers, then it's racist. Of course they need some yellow in there as well.

If they got rid of funaki they cruiserweight divison would burn in hell.
Here's a list of the cruiserweights left:
Brian Kendrick
Paul London
Super Crazy
Funaki
Rey Mysterio
Jamie Noble
Jimmy Wang Yang
Nunzio

How much does that suck?
There are obviously more, Richards is billed as 220 and he is not 220 he's like 180.

I dunno why they are keeping Funaki around but I like him.

Its always good to have a few veterans around so they can teach the younger guys the ropes.

Raw has Val Venis
SD has Funaki
ECW has Tommy Dreamer

They aren't there to get pushed. They are there to work with up and comers and do the job when needed. They are basically like active trainers who can work TV shows and house shows.

the guy is half decent not to mention he probebly stays away from huge trouble like roids and such ... or maybe as it states he is friends with someone powerful... but still there is no reason to fire him if he doesnt do anythign bad... let him stay and be a glorified jobber like kane..

and p.s rey is not in cw division anymore people.. he is in US division if you havent noticed adn soon maybe whc division cuz hes still fan favorite no matter his poor mic work
