The greatest. Tremendous back story and a real inspiration on overcoming obstacles. He's exactly what MMA and Wrestling are missing today--cool look, strong personality and can back up his big talking. That's why McGregor's over. Can't understand why his peers don't understand this simple, old school wrestling style of character development (or for that matter, why WWE doesn't get it anymore, either!).
John Wolf When I met Ken Shamrock in Webster, MA he was extremely nice & cordial. I always hated that WWE wasted Shamrock when they should've had him in big main event matches and a title push.
At least in TNA he had some great matches. He could've had great matches in WWE but instead they had him in stupid silly storylines & pretty much smeared him IMO.
Rob Sycamore Well said, Rob. I couldn't agree more with all of your points. The guy is a living legend, he could return to the WWE today, I see him as the manager of a young protégé, a young MMA guy or something like that. There's definitely an angle there for Ken Shamrock to return.
Bu Rida long time MMA fans know how influential ken was.
mcgregor over ???? top kekkkkk your :" The greatest. Tremendous back story and a real inspiration on overcoming obstacles. " apply as much to mcgreggor and the greatest is clearly mcgergor.
edit: im a big fan of ken shamrock too btw.
I know Mick Foley. I used to go to the Matches with him and met all the guys from the attitude era. I’ve met Ken several times. He’s a super nice guy. He always took pics and talked to me. Kens a class act.
If anything, Ken is the true definition of a fighter. He fought in life.
Love it how he said "WWF" instead of WWE
Santa Claus it’ll always be WWF to me.
Considering when he worked there it was WWF, that's that.
He's a class act. I like how he still puts over pro wrestling after all this time.
He's been wanting to get back for years but triple h hates him. Mistake on triple Hs part
This guy is a freaking legend
Legend of pancrase
Legend of early UFC days
Head of lions den
Was there in early pride days
Rescued UFC with UFC 40
and as well as this he was even in WWF Attitude era!
Why did he even return to mma in 2000 he can't have been broke after all that?!
imo mo maybe he wanted to fight ? lol it's in his blood bro
@@YouDoNotKnowMe99 he didn't need the money at that point, but he left MMA when it was still in it's infancy, and he saw it starting to explode, and legit competition was still in his heart, and he wanted to be a part of it.
@Hannibal Lector that was way after his prime. He had been in many wars and even 2/3 years of WWF at that point
@@tonymoses3810 perhaps so. It’s hard to imagine someone would go from relatively fake Wwf, to dangerous MMA when they’ve been out of it for 3/4 years. But we probably won’t understand won’t goes on in these guys heads
Ken was a hard ass. Great interview. Miss the attitude era so much.
dude is a different breed of killer. How could you get into so many fights, get beaten so bad you have to be revived...and still not be punch drunk? Ken is the kind of guy everyone under estimated and gave a hard time, yet he still came out on top. The world can't handle certain people. They cope, doubt and make up lies. But in the end, the truth shows through.
You're a legend Shamrock.
Ken Shamrock looks pure mafia.
A cross between Robert De Niro and bono LOL!!
Outstanding interview GNW. I've followed Ken's career from his early days in MMA. He's a true sportsman, a gentleman and an icon.
He is a great shoot for the little I watched! Also, great job just allowing him to talk instead of interrupting every two seconds like other interviewers.
The most dangerous man seems like such a genuine good guy. Great interview! Ken shamrock for WWE hof2020👌
He needs to be inducted into the WWE HoF.
yup he does
I agree
Vince will put him in.... right after he dies

Despite his reputation with certain people and, his current fighting records, he was still a pioneer of MMA and did help the WWE rebound when it was at its lowest. He created the first MMA training camp, which produced some awesome champions (Jerry Bohlander, Guy Mezger, Frank Shamrock. Even Oleg Taktarov trained there when he first entered MMA) What amazes me is how he's functioning, mentally. He's taken some hard blows throughout his life and career, yet he can speak very well and is doing a lot of entrepreneurial work. I see Mark Coleman and it's sad to see how another MMA pioneer has turned out and his ability to speak is limited. Koodos to you Ken Shamrock, I hope your future continues to be positive.
Ken's fight against Don Frye is one for the books! I think Ken fractured or broke both of Don Frye's ankles with heel hooks and Don still didn't tap. Don won the fight but said that fight took about 10 years off his life. Shamrock was beat up as well.
Spetsnaz Pocomaxa neither fighter was ever the same after that. No telling what Ken would have done to Tito had that fight not occurred
Not to mention that the Don fight was AFTER his stint in the WWE. Imagine how much of an ass whooping Tito would've gotten.
Yeah wwe run 96-2000 was brutal on kens body finished him. What little was left the frye fight took away... Yet ken was a much improved striker in his pride run... I think if hed stuck with mma spent 1996 regrouping he wouldve done great in pride and definitely beaten tito in late 90s.
Yeah after this fight don took a further beating (no bs brawling) by fighting takayama right after. Even though he won and takayama got it much worse, you could see his prime was slowly slipping, already about 40 years old. He was constantly sore from his roughed alcoholic body as well as his badass prime and shamrock battle, further hindered by his inability to tap. (Seriously, i think every submission loss came from ref stoppage.)
After the takayama fight i believe he went 5-8, turning his great 15-1, two time champ status into a slowly fading 20-9, losing to people he never should've lost to period. I think his stubbornness towards retirement took a lot lf years off his life, but I hope the best. Still the most badass fighter, maybe it was worth it.
Plus Don was on painkillers before the fight.
Sad that Ken needed to keep fighting for money long after he was nothing like the fighter he was- wwf ruined his body and he was so broken down
Ty Hannibal. these always ,make for great stories.
Hannibal you have the best shoots and interviews! Ken Shamrock is the reason I started watching MMA.
Thanks!
One thing I have to say is Hannibal does the perfect interviews. He lets people talk! He asks the right question at the right time. Thank you Hannibal.
HELL YES!!!!! this just made my day ....thanks for another great shoot ..... keep up the good work
Ken shamrock is a Pioneer of MMA .... First Complete MMA Fighter
he's a dangerous guy
One tough SOB no doubt! Inspiring story
He still looks fit and healthy which is saying a lot if you go by his long successful career in mixed martial arts and wrestling entertainment. Respect to that man.
Great interview. Would love to see him make some appearances in Pro wrestling nowadays. Definitely deserves to be in the WWF HOF.
A lot of people forget that Ken Shamrock is how "The Rock" came to be. His UFC nickname was Ken "The Rock" Shamrock. Then then ROcky Maivia, a then member of the Nation of Domination, beat down Ken. The "Real Rock" was born. Awesome times!
Don't forget he also inspired Bill Goldberg's character as well. Bill often spoke of how , still being green to the business didn't even know you don't "steal" another man's gimmick and Bill freely admits he "stole" Ken's shoot fighting persona. From the intensity to the knee pads. Ken saved the UFC with UFC 40 as well and was the real reason people tuned into the infamous Forest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar wasn't because it was a 'great fight' like the UFC try to spin...it was because TUF was on before Smackdown and Ken was in the main event after Griffin vs Bonnar.
@@gothchicksbongrips5712 #Facts....
THIS MAN HAS ALWAYS MOTIVATED ME 4 DA PAST 16 YRS. I COULD NVR FIGHT LIKE HIM BUT IVE FOUGHT DIFFERENT BATTLES IN MY LIFE. HE HAS TAUGHT ME THRU HIS INTERVIEWS TO GO HEAD ON AND NVR BACK DOWN. GOD BLESS KEN SHAMROCK AND HIS FAMILY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mario Martinez
Shamrock would eat You up..
Dont mention yourself as a fighter in a shamrock interview. Idiot
Good analogy. We all fight different battles in life. We draw on inspiration from the others that came before us - whether they be fighters, athletes from different sports disciplines, friends, family, etc. I'm glad that Ken was an inspiration for you. :-)
THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS MAN!☻
Sharpest knife in the drawer.
Ken Shamrock is ☘ a true legend a survivor, a great role model for disadvantaged kids .
Great interview while growing up in the early years of UFC and seeing the attitude era,Shamrock was my favorite MMA fighter and my Favorite wrestler. He would had been a great WWF Champion if the WWF/E had dropped the title to Shamrock. Bret Hart knew it was best for business !
Hannibal is the man. Some of the best shoots out. Salute brob
One of the most legendary people in combat sports & pro wrestling....He was Brock Lesnar back in early 1990s, with the difference is he could take a punch back then where as Lesnar cant take any punches.
I have a ton of respect for this man! Since the day he was born he never stood a chance! However, through hard work, dedication, and belief in himself, he became successful and has accomplished more than most will ever accomplish in their lifetime! Respect
Awesome!
"Get out of my waaay" Loved watching him in the WWF
Great interview! You just let the guy talk and we all got listen.
Why the fuck am I crying? This is a shoot interview for fuck sake, but here I am tearing up listening to Ken Shamrock talk about his upbringing
Damn! This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen! You had great questions. Great video man!
Thanks
omg if I see one more Nissan ad I'm gonna explode!
The original BMF RIGHT HERE! KEN SHAMROCK IS A LIVING LEGEND! Think he should be running UFC!
I respect and admire Ken Shamrock. He was undoubtedly a pioneer in No Rules Fighting. At the time he started in UFC 1, Shamrock showed Americans, and the rest of the world, that striking alone wasn't the most effective fighting method, but it was a combination of striking, grappling and submission skills. Shamrock started the evolution towards Mixed Martial Arts. The Gracie family only promoted their brand of Jiu Jitsu. Two different things.
The Most Dangerous Man! True legend! WWF/WWE should of kept you. You were the beast before there was one!
Goob job! :) Keep it up!
Love and respect for Ken
Is Ken shamrock morphing into a cross between Robert De Niro and bono right before our very eyes?👀🤣
Such a Legend! Was great in the wwf aswell! Really looks like de Niro here! Great interview.
He looks like a cross between De Niro and bono lol
When ken knocks in your door you jump out the window!
I fucking love ken shamrock he's a man's man his pride days early ufc days were amazing he made that era along side with the wwe I still remember his lion den matches against owen hart here's a Toast to the O.G of martial arts/wrestling 👍💯💪👊
18:05 25:04 Shamrock's impression of the Nasty Boys is hilarious .
Humble as always
He kind of looks like Robert De Niro here. lol.
That's what I was thinking. Kind of De Niro ala American Hustle or the ending of Casino
Ken always looked a bit like Al Bundy from Married With children to me.
A combination of him, Sean Penn, and Roy Scheider from Jaws. LOL
Actually yeah...now that you mentioned it, he does
Love me some shamrock ☘️😍☺️👊🏾
Ken is a badass
I have nothing but respect for you Hannibal, I like your style of interviewing. I would like to see you interview Kane if you have already I can't find it.
THE WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS DUDE!!!!!
Ken is a legend and a bad ass. Still probably run through top guys in UFC
He is a legend, but the last statement is just blasfamist
It may not be a big deal to some people but ken shamrock is the whole reason submissions happen via tap out in wwe. Before shamrock, no one tapped out. People just said yes and we had to take the refs word for it. As a fellow indy pro wrestler, that's a big deal to me. Just like jake Robert's DDT that most wrestlers do incorrectly these days (its NOT a hop and fall). Point being that the tap out and the DDT will be forever staples in pro wrestling because of those 2 guys. Jake's in now it's Shamrocks turn to get his HoF call.
very cool,
This guy is the definition of intense.
Ol' Shamrock ☘ O.G Bad ass
World's most dangerous man
the best return wwe that hasnt happend yet
Great interview. I feel Ken Shamrock is still the man! We all know he got robbed at that Gracie fight in Bellator & Pride fight against Sakuraba. Hope to see Shamrock make a big comeback!
Ken you a freakin legend and dam Beast during your Prime....no one comes close to your strength except for Bas Rutton! You sir are a good man Ken! You and Bas are the reason why the UFC came alive! Now the UFC is not even worth watching anymore.
shamrock vs angle ankle (lock VS lock) match it could be a great retirement match for both of them...
Surprisingly well-spoken, and soft-spoken, guy. He also looks like his last name should end in a vowel in this video. Positively Mafia-esqe.
I like this guy
Why is the audio muted at 31:48 when Ken is talking about Bart Vale?
The best
There are a few points where the sound turns off. Please fix Thanks. First part is when hes talking about Boris Malenko's school.
Been a Shamrock fan since I was a kid watching him in UFC and WWF. He shouldn't be saying Shamrock v Severn 2 match was the most boring, Kimbo Slice and Houston Alexander took boring fights to a new level with their "fight".
ken the man
Always liked Ken back in the Attitude Era....took the biggest chair shot to the head from The Rock back in the day
Ken Shamrock is a gangster. He was his own hit man. He was the old school show boater for the ladies. I understand because those of us from that era were like that.
This guy is a HOF & should be WWE HOF
I don't care who it was or who the Superstar are today in Shamrock prime he would beat any of the UFC guys especially with the training they have today a lot of those guys back then would definitely compete with any of those guys today remember there was no rules back in the late 90s
That event where they got arrested was one of the Battlecade Extreme Fighting events in Canada. On the official dvd they even include some footage of the guys being arrested if I remember correctly. Igor Zinoviev was one of the guys they showed getting arrested, again if I remember correctly.
A lot of interesting stories (even if some anecdotes might have been exaggerated).
This guy is as tough as a two dollar steak in a B rate neighborhood, however very intelligent and well spoken. Respect. He inspired me to challenge myself and face my fears. Thanks KS
Ken is real dude
typical hard life of a young guy raised in poverty, no question a taugh young guy who with all his ups an downs was a pioneer in MMA in the US an in his prime none of the so called taugh guys sitting at your computers commenting here could last two minutes with Ken!
And WWF King Of The Ring
Has he written a book? His life is fascinating.
back in 1996 during my late teen yrs, i was working for the tourism industry at the airport. outside the baggage claim exit was a huge dude wearing a yellow shirt, arms as big as my freakin head, his back as wide as a door. i've been a fight fan since ufc 1 so im very familiar with ken at this point. as i passed by this dude just 5ft away, he was looking down on his phone about to make a call. when he looked up, i saw that it was ken shamrock. i wanted to say that i was a big fan but i felt extremely intimidated by this monster so i pretended to not recognized him lol
I tune into him for TNA
trt for low t fighter would be good think of the old 1s that wouldent have 2 retire eg chuck
They needed to put more cowbell in his theme music.
Likes to toot his own horn a lot and always has an excuse for losing UFC fights. Still, enjoyed this interview and loved listening to his stories. Definitely a legend. Much respect.
Does Ken ever talk about his fight with Dan Frey if he does could somebody time stamp it for me
His explanation about why he left WWE (because he was cool with Bret Hart, and because he was losing every night for six weeks straight) sounds a little off, since Bret left the company almost TWO YEARS before Shamrock quit.
WWE talk starts at 1:01:13, btw, in case anyone wonders.
Well the fallout from Bret leaving affected the political standpoint of the company. Shawn and Hunter had control and even after Michaels retired he still
Came back as commissioner up until prob after Shamrock left. By the time of the screw job Shamrock was positioned really well and he fell off after. KOTR was meaningless by 98 (it used to set up a summer slam program with the champ or a program at least) but by 98 it was just a 4 man tournament which took some of the prestige away and nothing really came out of it. They eventually turned him heel with the corporation and tha he just got buried. He pretty much got the Vader treatment which was very much a product of Shawn Michaels being a dick.
The same thing happened with Owen and he was there for the same time as Shamrock. Owen was never more over than between the DX iyh at 97 to WM 14. If you don’t believe me watch clips of the Black Hart Owen Hart era the fans were literally packed with Owen signs chanting his name getting Austin pops from the crowd. They kept beating him over and over yeah with scre job finishes, and losing isn’t the worst thing but after getting beat multiple times by triple HhH the fans stopped caring cause they knew it was going nowhere and eventually the feud stopped with Owen never getting over or getting some kind of payoff, and he was put in the nation and back in the mid card. Than much like Shamrock he refused a storyline that as an father with kids wasn’t appropriate and got saddles with the blue blazer. However that stupid gimmick wasn’t necessary just like Shamrock doesn’t need to be kissing his kayfabe sister.
At 12:38, he said he ended up going after the drill instructor, and this is the reason why he didn't make it through USMC Boot Camp. But in his book, he said he got discharged because they found the disc in his back due to neck injury. Which one actually got him discharged?
Shamrock makes up stuff as he goes, cheated with steroids. Without the juice just a 135 pound average guy. UFC's a work too. Pathetic.
Shamrock still going strong
And King of Pancrase
KEN SHAMROCK SHOULD RETURN TO WWE AND TAKE OUT BROCK LESNAR ?
holy shit Bono won the intercontinental belt?
Kenny Wayne looking like Deniro in Casino
Ken "No Excuses" Shamrock.
Anyone who knows fighting knows shamrock and royce Shamroc not only won he destroyed and shattered him in every fight
Its odd that he's never had an autobiography. It's be an interesting read.
Have a look for "Inside The Lion's Den". It only goes as far as him going to WWF/WWE but it's still definitely worth the read
If you hit me that's a federal offense ... that's what I use to tell my mom hahaha
what type of shades are those ?
I always figured the early UFC fighting system was somehow set up to favor Royce Gracie since the Gracie's owned the company.
