As far as I know... cranks that look like chokes are legal.
Japanese necktie is a choke. It *can* be a crank, but properly applied it's a choke. Anybody who disagrees, should watch Bryan's highlight below. Typically, you don't go unconscious from a neck crank. :)

EDIT: Typically, you don't go unconscious from a neck crank and get up again. ;)
Unless you take his head of :P
