Ken Shamrock is a forgotten legend of WWE. He was a focal point during the height of the Attitude Era and was seemingly forgotten afterwards. After leaving wrestling Shamrock went back to MMA and even founded his own bare knuckle fighting promotion. Now coming back into wrestling and recently appearing on Impact Wrestling, Chris Van Vliet spoke with Shamrock about both WWE and Impact Wrestling.
On his future with Impact Wrestling
Right now the one thing in front of me is obviously Moose and being able to take care of business with that. Then I think after we do that, we’ll take a look and see whether or not there’s more for us to do here at Impact. I like what I see so far. The way I’ve been treated has been awesome. So yea I’m definitely interested at maybe looking at something a little bit deeper. We have to see where everything kind of lands after these two shows.
On his relationship with WWE
I don’t know if there is a relationship. I know I was there and I know that I was able to be part of something special. I just don’t know if there was ever a relationship because even after I left, it almost felt like I was the black sheep. Once I left [I was] never mentioned again. No credit given, no highlights or anything shown. Nobody speaks of it. I don’t know, it’s just weird, it’s just gone
On why he left WWE in 1999
I think the reason why I left WWF is because there was just a lot of time on the road. I didn’t feel like the time I was putting into the WWF that we were going in the direction that I thought we were gonna go.
