It's called jiu-jitsu

CM Punk probably? Yeah his UFC debut was a disaster. Most pro wrestlers who went into MMA are considered pioneers or have very impressive fight records though. Minoru Suzuki, Masakatsu Funaki, Kazushi Sakuraba, Nobuhiko Takada, Kazuyuki Fujita, Kazuo Takahashi, Ken Shamrock, Naoyo Ogawa, Dan Severn, Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley...
The only other exceptions I can think of are Akebono and Yoshihiro Takayama who both ended up 0-4 in professional fights, but Akebono was a sumo which is a notoriously poor style to use in MMA, and Takayama still managed to have one of the most legendary and brutal fights ever with Don Frye.
