Punk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022We don\u2019t know if the Netflix doc told the truth about Vince McMahon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been a part of supporting documentaries, and I\u2019ve been a part of ones that were agenda [driven] and you were collateral. It\u2019s hard to say which it is, because it\u2019s not real. It\u2019s produced, it\u2019s cut up. They put in certain things to make it more exciting or friendly or abusive or destructive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s any way that they want to spin this they can, and we don\u2019t know which one it is. And only Vince knows, and his family knows whether that was true or not. We don\u2019t. That\u2019s why it is frustrating for me when people see something and all of a sudden they say: \u2018well that guy is an absolute jackass\u2019 and you don\u2019t know if that is even true. Since when do you believe everything that someone tells you? Especially when it\u2019s agenda driven.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. I didn\u2019t watch it, I don\u2019t usually get into that because I don\u2019t want to be persuaded by what I\u2019m watching, because I know for a fact that it could be wrong. Or it could be, it could be true. There\u2019s no reason why I want to watch it, unless it\u2019s going to be something positive for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Jake Paul is brash and ridiculous and should not attempt WWE &#8211; but don\u2019t hate on him<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would be a mistake for Jake Paul to get into WWE. Go back to boxing. There are guys out there that are legitimate boxers that should be making the kind of money that Jake Paul is making. But business is business. Numbers do not lie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJake\u2019s making more or the same as a world championship boxing match. I\u2019m not hating him or telling people, \u2018Well, they shouldn\u2019t be spending that kind of money on him,\u2019 because the return is massive.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2129101748\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnd if the return is that massive, how are you putting the blame on him? He\u2019s brash, he says things that sometimes, in my mind, are ridiculous. But that\u2019s why he\u2019s making money. That\u2019s why he is who he is. Because he says these things, like saying that he could fight a top contender.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay. Talk is cheap. You gotta go do it. I get it. He\u2019s done everything else. He\u2019s making money. But that\u2019s why he is who he is. Don\u2019t hate him. Figure out what he\u2019s doing. Why is this guy that says things so ridiculous, why is he making all the money?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s handpicking these guys, putting them in there, creating this massive draw on social media, and making huge money. I wouldn\u2019t hate on that. I\u2019d be going, \u2018Bro, show me how to do it\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;PWTorch &#8217;90s Pastcast&#8221; with Patrick Moynahan and Alex McDonald, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/pwtorch-90s-pastcast-moynahan-mcdonald-discuss-pwtorch-newsletter-324-3-11-95-incl-wm-xi-press-conference-rebooking-entire-card--65041282\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=65041282&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>\u2022Conor McGregor needs to know the WWE is a different beast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t care how much character they have in baseball, in basketball, in MMA, wrestling is a different beast. It is a very much different beast. There\u2019s a lot of give and take, and a lot of times there\u2019s more give than there is take.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to have that character to be able to understand that this is the way it works, and you\u2019re not going to just walk in and dominate the circuit. Unless, of course, you have that \u2018IT\u2019 factor which is going to sell tickets or put asses in the seat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know Conor has that in MMA, and if he could transition over that into wrestling that would be sweet, but you don\u2019t know until it happens.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1158101549\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cA lot of that has to do with the mic. A lot has to do with your ability to do matches and make people believe what it is that you\u2019re doing. And there\u2019s a lot to it, and there\u2019s no way of knowing that until you actually do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022I don\u2019t care Ronda Rousey thinks she could beat me\u2026 but it is ludicrous<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is absolutely no way if you put me in the ring with Ronda Rousey, no matter what she says, that I\u2019m not gonna dominate. It\u2019s just, it\u2019s ludicrous. Absolutely ludicrous for people to believe something like that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut again, I don\u2019t mind it. I know when it was said way back when, I was 40-something years old, and I was benching 365 pounds 10 times, and she came out and said that and I never responded to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was like, \u2018Yeah, whatever. I don\u2019t care,\u2019 like that doesn\u2019t hurt me. There was a question of whether you think you can beat this, or you think you can handle this? Because she was at the top of her game. No question. She\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey mentioned it \u2013 \u2018Can you do this? Can you do that? Could you beat Ken Shamrock if it was on the ground and no punching?\u2019 Whatever, I don\u2019t care; that doesn\u2019t affect me. You\u2019ve never heard me talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022The Rock is a great human being &#8211; working with me pole-vaulted his career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they put The Rock and I together we clicked, there was no ego, there was no \u2018I\u2019m the guy\u2019, it was more of like, \u2018Okay, what can I do for you?\u2019 and \u2018How can we work to make this the best match of the night\u2019 and he had the same mentality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnybody that knows me and worked with me understands that it\u2019s not anything about individuals. It\u2019s more about accomplishments as a whole, and I think when me and Rock got together he had a lot of knowledge and understanding of pro wrestling because of his father and his whole family being involved in it, and I had a little bit of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I had a whole lot more knowledge of stuff he didn\u2019t understand, which was in the actual mixed martial arts world that we combined into these wrestling matches, which caused our matches to be so much different than anyone else\u2019s. So we were able to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI worked well with him. I respected him. I think he\u2019s at least from everything I know from him, he\u2019s a great human being. I saw once he got the mic and he started talking. I was like \u2018he\u2019s special.\u2019 This is special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do believe that for him to be able to work with me and be able to put these matches on with the person that I was, I wasn\u2019t just another wrestler I was a world champion beating people up and for him to be able to come in there and put on great matches and us work together, it absolutely pole vaulted him [in his career], but he did it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t anything that I did other than us working together and putting on great matches, but The Rock is the one that put himself there. He grabbed that mic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce he had the mic, he knew what to say. He knew how to act, and he put a full effort into it. He became great because he pushed himself there. Nobody else. Nobody gave it to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Awesome C.M. Punk took his chance in MMA and then rebuilt in WWE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cC.M. Punk. I became a big fan of his when he made the move into MMA, and I didn\u2019t understand all the hate. If people truly understood the sacrifice that he made. I would say he took a big risk, because he was on top of the world. He was up there in wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had such love for the sport that he risked his career to go and find out whether or not he was capable of doing it. That to me isn\u2019t about legacy, his credentials, or everything he\u2019s accomplished, it\u2019s about what he can accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he doesn\u2019t step outside of his comfort zone to find out whether or not he can or can not \u2013 how will you ever know? I\u2019ve heard so many people talking about how they would have gone into the UFC or MMA if they had the chance to but they just never did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI bet you any amount of money if you ask them if they wanted to do that now that their careers are over and wished they had taken the chance. At least find out because now they have to live with that. Not knowing if they could or could not have done it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cC.M. Punk does know and took that chance and then he went back and rebuilt his career. I\u2019m a huge fan of his just because of that one incident. We have different ideas of who Vince is. Maybe I haven\u2019t been around enough to know that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut everything that I know and what I have seen, he\u2019s been awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022I don\u2019t think about WWE Hall of Fame snub<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no idea why I\u2019m not in the WWE Hall of Fame, but it\u2019s something that I don\u2019t think about or worry about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think if it does happen, then great and if it doesn\u2019t then it would be sad, but I won\u2019t hold it against any one. I\u2019d love it to happen, but it\u2019s not my call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022There are two WWE wrestlers I wish I had worked with<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would not use the word regret (when it came to leaving WWE). I would have loved to have been around to have those matches, especially with Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle. I think that would have been cool, but we all have journeys that we go on and those things you can\u2019t change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not like when I made those decisions that it was something I didn\u2019t want to do. I wanted to do that, I wanted to go back into MMA because I missed it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I went back it didn\u2019t go as well as I wanted to but I still enjoyed it. I really, really wanted to know whether or not I could do it again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like that C.M. Punk thing. I could have stayed there, I could have just been satisfied. But no, I want to challenge myself. Just like anybody that has any kind of credibility is always going to challenge themselves to be better, and that\u2019s what I did, and I don\u2019t regret that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/makthavare.se\/ken-shamrock-exclusive\/\">FULL INTERVIEW SOURCE LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pro Wrestling Then and Now - WCW SuperBrawl V\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qudBcsaWUiY?start=5&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4014468447\"><div id=\"pwtor-3046198720\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Ken Shamrock, a former WWE pro wrestler and UFC fighter, spoke to Makthavare.se about a host of issues including the Vince McMahon Netflix documentary, Jake Paul, Conor McGregor, Ronda Rousey, The Rock, and C.M.
