Ken Shamrock is involved with WWE again, this time with the company selling his merchandise, which started earlier this month.
Shamrock worked for WWE from 1997 to 1999, and TNA from 2002 to 2004. He was a former WWE Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion. In 1998, he also won the King of the Ring. Meanwhile, he held the NWA World Heavyweight Title once in TNA.
Shamrock had memorable matches with The Rock and Owen Hart in a Lion’s Den match at SummerSlam 1998. The Rock inducted him into the TNA Hall of Fame a few years ago. Many people have also advocated for Shamrock’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T was asked on the “Hall of Fame” podcast about WWE inking a legends deal with Shamrock. The WWE NXT announcer believes Shamrock deserves to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
“That’s great Ken Shamrock got a legend deal because he is truly one of the WWE legends, Booker stated. “He brought something to WWE from the mixed martial arts world, and it was real. And Ken did a damn good job while he was a part of WWE. And for him to be on the video games and all of that stuff, it’s cool. Put his name in for the Hall of Fame. Put his name in.”
Booker continued, “He’s always been a big WWE fan. You’ve never heard him say anything stupid about the company other than, ‘Man, why am I not getting in? Why am I not getting a piece of the action?’ I appreciate whoever gave Ken Shamrock the nod to get in deserves it. He deserves it. Some people deserve it. Some people deserve it, and some people never deserve to get in.”
