Ken Shamrock’s WWE run
Shamrock had a brief run in WWE. However, during this run, he had a feud with The Rock. Considering Shamrock did not need any introduction, the booking was perfect. In an interview, Shamrock revealed he had a good time working with The Great One.
“He was like a sponge. He was learning a whole lot. He came in with the Nation [Nation of Domination] and was kind of covered up and didn’t get to let his mic skills shine or his character or personality shine because there were a lot of characters there. I think once he got pulled out and they gave them the mic and put him in the program with me, I thought his skills and tremendous ability to use the mic really started to shine.”
