That is two off the top of my head.

Nunzio and Funaki are both shoot wrestlers, which means they could probably handle themselves in a fight. As KK said, I would not want to get into a fight with someone trained in the Hart Family Dungeon. William Regal has also been kicking ass since about the age of 15. He might not be trained in any official martial art, but the instict is there.
As someone who has taken Tae Kwon Do, I'm going to say this...it's not a real sense defense martial art. I feel it's one of the weaker martial arts, and is really good only for exersice or flashy hollywood fight scenes. Otherwise I think any other form of combat could probably destroy someone with Tae Kwon Do.
