Last night we witnessed IMPACT Wrestling’s major PPV, Bound For Glory. Before the 16th edition of Bound For Glory kicked off, Ken Shamrock was inducted into the Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Due to their history in WWE, Shamrock asked The Rock to do his induction speech, which the former WWE Champion agreed to do.
Via video, Rock spoke about Shamrock being a big part of his early days as a heel in WWE, allowing him to hone his skills along the way. Rock noted Shamrock could have easily passed on working with a newer wrestler like Rock was at that time, which he didn’t.
After the induction, Impact EVP Scott D’Amore took to Twitter, to thank The Rock for the induction speech.
“One of the classiest men in the world helping honor another of the classiest Ken in the world. Thank you @TheRock for helping us induct @ShamrockKen in the @IMPACTWRESTLING Hall of Fame!”
The Rock would reply back, recalling how nice D’Amore was to him during an indie show in the 90s.
“My pleasure, brother. Ken was very instrumental early in my career and I’ll always be grateful to him. Thanks to you as well for being so kind to me on that Indy show we did back in ’97. Tell all the Impact boys (and girls) I said keep working hard and have fun.”
Shamrock would later defeat Eddie Edwards during the Bound for Glory PPV
