Ken Shamrock: If You Think Wrestling Is Fake, Go Back And Watch The Rock Hit Me With A Chair

Ken Shamrock has had enough of people saying wrestling is fake.

Ken Shamrock has tested out both worlds of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. During an interview with DJ Vlad, Shamrock spoke about people who believe pro wrestling to be all fake and no damage happening to anyone.

Shamrock suggests that fans go back and watch the moment when The Rock cracked him over the skull with a steel chair.

“Oh, no question. But let me explain this in a way that I think that visually people might have a better understanding on why pro wrestling and people get physically beat up in pro wrestling is that I want people, if you haven’t ever seen it yet, but to go watch it, I want you to go and look at the most famous chair shot that has ever been thrown in a WWF match, and that is with Ken Shamrock and The Rock. When you see that chair shot, you tell me that the ending is predetermined. Tell me that this is stuff that happens in a wrestling match. Whereas that in the end, and because of the ending is predetermined, that wrestling is fake.”

If you haven’t seen the clip yourself, you can watch The Rock cracking the steel chair over the skull of Shamrock.
