Correction: It wasn’t Tonya Harding but Tori Spelling the Billy Gunn story was about, and tbh there isn’t a lot of info out there on it. I’ll ask Billy if/when I can get him on.
Yeah I had to wonder how Harding got mixed up with wrestling
i google searched it lol
Earl H. isn't dead either, it was his brother Dave that passed.
Mr ass should be careful...... Tonya was a shooter
@@rowdsI think he was talking about Tim White’s passing. It definitely seemed like they were talking about Earl given the context, but the way he says Tim could easily be mistaken for “to him”.
Love his reaction to Brian Christopher. Brian was the first wrestler I ever met and he was my Memphis wrestling version of HBK. Loved that guy.
Dude was hilarious with his crazy laugh and telling everyone "I'm not Jerry's Kid"!
@@fmthebaron When I met him that was the one thing I had to ask “Are you really Jerry Lawlers son?”
He told me “No. I’ve just been around him Wrestling so long he’s like a father figure. He wishes I was his son.”
@Gordon Shumway Pretty sure it’s still an open case.
I was just the right age when he formed 2 Cool with Scott Taylor and loved those guys. I hated HBK. I was a Bret Hart/Brian Pillman/Stone Cold guy. The difference between Brian Lawler and Michael Hickenbottom was that old HBK was just an arrogant prick who was athletic but overall wasn't as believable or as good as he thought he was and got himself injured with his silliness. In fairness, both of them got into the drugs, and unfortunately, one of them "found God" (which is probably worse) and the other passed away. We lost Brian Pillman and Brian Lawler, but somehow, Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels, 2 guys not known for wrestling clean, are still with us - one them is even inspiring the next generation. I wish there were more Bret Hart-inspired young wrestlers like Brian Pillman Jr (who was trained by Lance Storm) and FTR than these circus freaks like Kenny Omega and the Bucks. It's like watching ECW and WCW in 2000. Bad gimmicks and dumb storylines with guys actually hurting each other for real without any kind of storytelling. The best angles I ever saw were Brian Pillman Sr becoming The Loose Cannon and Bret Hart turning heel in America by telling the truth about Americans in order to get Stone Cold way over as a main event talent.
Love that Shamrock doesn't remember Bob Holly, real burn.
@captain scentsible39 Of course he remembers Sunny, the recurring flare ups ALWAYS remind you of girls like Sunny, once you've been with them.
Or the Blue Meanie. Its like the JOB Squad meant nothing to him 🤣
Ken would kill Spark Plugg 😂
@captain scentsible39 right in her lion’s den
Not many cared to remember the race car driver guy and his gimmick
"I've been hit with chairs, they don't bother me" -Ken
It's true. Chairs, lamps, tables, they don't phase me a bit. Fat people on the other hand, hurt like hell.
chairs don't bother me...just my brain. who's bob holly again
0:54 Translation: “Road Dogg and I smoked a lot of weed together.” 🤣
Although props to Kenny for not outing anyone. Dude you can trust.
Man what a smart, well spoken man for all the physicality he has been through. Always been a huge shamrock fan since mma days. Legend
Ditto. Would like to have seen him and Bret Hart throwdown in shoot match.
@@davidcosdesign6785 in a shoot it ain’t even close 😂
@@davidcosdesign6785if Bret lasted 2 minutes, it'd be because Ken has respect for him.
You know Bob Holly went into a rage watching this video 😂 awesome
Great interview. Really good rapport with Ken. Don’t think I’ve seen anyone talk so freely with Ken. Loved this. Thank you.
Got to meet Ken years ago at a king of the Cage event just before his Pride fights, great guy got a nice autograph from him very down to earth. How he’s not in the HOF?
I think the way he left in 99 pissed off vince. I believe he left for ufc.
Theres-alot-of-guys-who-deserve-to-be-in-the--HOF-that-arent
@j Shah tbf.he hasn't really done enough in wrestling. His stint was really short.but,I guess his name should be enough. But,just didn't have a long career
WWE HOF Is a joke that exists to check boxes on a list. There are divas who joined years after Shamrock who been inducted.
Yes. I am in the hof. It was nice meeting you.
that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about Sable lol
Huge pop!
Wrestlers didnt like Sable cause she got high ratings for being attractive.
This was the time women had one match/segment at most and the old-timers didnt respect them.
It sounds like he wasn’t around her a whole lot and wasn’t privy to/stayed away from much of the backstage drama. In other words, a smart man.
he smashed
Jacqueline says nice things about her
Ken sounds like a really nice guy. We all know how some of these wrestlers are but Ken tries not to speak negatively about them.
I've heard and read a lot of his interviews, he hardly ever talks bad about someone.
Yes. I am a nice guy.
I would say the martial arts background taught him that discipline of not speaking ill of your opponents when they're not there to defend themselves. Bushido Way.
Bob Holly?
Mr Head right? 🤣
There are some people in this world you don’t wanna mess with. This guy’s one of them
I have not been able to sleep for years wondering what Ken Shamrock thought about the Blue Meanie. Thanks for asking that question.
🤣😂
Same
Hahahaha 😂😂
He's actually being honest when he says that he can't remember things. All those many years of chair shots and MMA to the head ought to do it.
I thought the same. Those seemed like concussion moments when he was trying to recall or find the right words.
He's earned the benefit of the doubt on that. The fact that he's still able to be so coherent speaks volumes to his durability.
Bob Holly will be kicking and throwing the furniture around at his house if he watches this video 🤣
Terry Runnels was offered more of a position in the company but she wouldn't go on the road like Vince wanted. She refused to spend that much time away from her children. I respect her for this.
It apparently took a lot of convincing to get to comeback for the Marlene gimmick because she didn't want to leave Dakota. Great Mum.
@@SpookySammy Sounds about right since she was gone for a long time after WCW.
Thank you!
She was offered the title apparently (she was to beat The Kat) but she declined due to Vince wanting her to work more days. This explains (but doesn’t excuse) Harvina beating Kat randomly
newjack respected something else she did..lol
When Ken says about being hit with a chair I instantly think of Rock trying to put a chair through his skull on Raw.
What about the chair shot Rock hit him with at Wrestlemania 14?
Ken vs Brock in their Prime been something
Shamrock was entertaining yet nothing but class, didn't have a bad word to say about anyone 💪
Bob Holly in Al SNow's Gimmick with Head has me snorting.
Got the pleasure to meet Shamrock almost two years ago. Very nice person. He’s very humble and easy to talk to. He’s witty too. I’m enjoying your interview with him.
Gosh I wish Shamrock got the WWF title back then, such a good talent
That’s actually the way Vince should have handled the whole Bret-HBK situation. He should have had Bret drop the title to Shamrock, let Kenny have it for a month or two and then drop it to HBK.
@@zlinedavid To me I remember Shamrock making bret Tap on raw back in the day, tho the ref was knocked out I was still impressed as a kid...it was similar to how kurt angle made kane tap out..like really rare...also shamrock beating the rock in the KOTR finals 98 just legitimizes him...Shamrock is like Piper, Perfect, Razor never got the offial world title but still main event talent anyways my bro go Utube : are you a good person by living waters
It was time for Austin.
@@zlinedavid You don't think that would've been hard with Austin waiting in the wings? His time was coming at a rapid pace.
@@jahvonpalmer6775 It would have been similar to Foley's run with the belt in early 1999. Just a couple of months, and take it off of him at or just after Royal Rumble to set up HBK/Austin at Mania.
Wow this was pretty good, I did not expect this, Ken was very professional, acted like a real gentleman. Not cocky at all, very cool nice guy 👍🏻
Wow, I wish Ahmed Johnson handled himself better. And when I think of Bob Holly, I’ll never forget how he beat up that contestant on that reality show.
The Road Warrior POP. Legendary
Never thought Ken would be such a nice, open sorta guy tbh.
always been a Shamrock fan wrestling and MMA I remember him signing an autograph for me when I was learning karate he was at the school I got there late right before he was leaving he signed a picture in his limousine he was fighting in AC only time I met him
Dang! Deep cut. Shamrock wrestled nakamura in like a 10 minute exhibition in njpw toukon 2 in los angeles. Totally forgot that ever happened
Yeah imagine wrestling thousands of matches and forgetting a 10 minute match almost 20 years ago with someone who wasn't a someone yet ....
@@longjohn526 yeah incredible 🤣
@@longjohn526 i wasnt complaining. I was just saying i forgot that match ever happened, and i was even more surprised that i forgot about the match since i was there live. It was a nice blast from the past hearing shamrock bring it up
Love terri. ❤️
I want to hear Ken give his thoughts on Debra
Never would have imagined that Ken would be such a likable and interesting guy. I look forward to hearing more from him.
Tito Ortiz DOESN'T THINK so.
Wow! I am quite impressed with Shamrock! I always took it that he was a real asshole after watching him in wwe and ufc (especially, ultimate fighter: Ortiz vs Shamrock). He came off completely different in this interview!! He was complimentary of his co-workers and had a great sense of humor!!
I met his ex wife and she had nothing but negative things to say about him. 🤷🏻♂️
My main memories of Shamrock in WWE - royal rumble 1999 vs Billy Gunn. Backlash 1999 vs Ministry Undertaker. And then the short lived Jericho feud in his final WWE days.
(I only got sky tv here in the uk in 1999 so didn’t see anything prior to that!)
Raw him vs. Bret...IYHouse vs. HBK...WM14/KOTR vs. The Rock...my guy go Utube : are you a good person by living waters
@@Mike-zy8in Didn't he fight Billy Gunn at King of the Ring 99? He also fought Taker over Shamrock's sister.
Go back and watch his matches with the Rock in 98
I like that shamrock showed guys like austin respect and tried being respectful in the interview when talking about other wrestlers. Some guys like to rip into others but gotta say shamrock is first class
Seeing how reasonable Ken sounds, you'd think he'd be able to figure the WWE situation out.
What happened with Billy Gunn and Tonya Harding?
I want to hear this story too!
Me too!
There's a story involving Billy Gunn and Tori Spelling. Maybe James got the name wrong? Not sure tho
@@TheBC313 ahh, yes I think I did mess up the names. Hardly the first time tbh - I’ll save the question if and when I get Billy on in the future.
I would’ve asked Shamrock about the two infamous fights he got into with The Nasty Boys
Terri Runnels, Super Cougar 😍😍😍
Until New Jack started hitting it....Then she was just another single mom.
Absolutely
I have never heard anyone ever say Sable is professional lol
Earl Hebner is still alive. His brother Dave Hebner is the one that recently passed away.
I have yet to see how language barriers were overcome when calling matches in the ring
I wonder if Ken Shamrock ever been asked about D'Lo Brown (or any member of the Nation of Domination).
Cause I remember D'Lo Brown, in a past interview, talked about Shamrock shaking his head (no pun) at him for his "shoot fight" with Dan Severn.
Bro I kid you not as a kid I remember he beat the entire Nation on raw, shotgun saturday night, ect..he finally beat the rock at WM14 but then the ref reveresed the decision lol my guy go Utube : are you a good person by living waters
always good interviews
I had a serious kiddie crush on Terri Runnels. Lol. She hit me at puberty.
Haha me too. Had all her posters and pictures from RAW magazine hanging in my room.
She was my main one too! I remember having the Wrestlemania 2000 match on VHS when Val Venis got to kiss her as special guest referee, and I kept trying to pause at the right moments during her match 😅Then Stacy Keibler during the InVasion was probably my new fav 😍
In hindsight, Molly Holly beats them all for me. What a figure. Incredible it was made fun of on tv in the storylines as if having a big a** was a bad thing 😂
Same
Molly Holly back in 2002-2003 always did it for me. What a figure on that woman.
@@reallyretro totally with you on that. Surprised someone right at the top like The Rock didn’t snap her up. Jaw dropping figure, pretty face, and by all accounts shy and polite (apparently she hung around with the refs and wasn’t a party girl at all).... sounds a dream catch 😆
Class act dude...true bad ass!
Ken seems really cool and I like how he doesn't bitch about anyone
Shamrock is at that age where people forget
Always liked Ken. Nice interview.
What DOES he think about Al Snow?
As a Kid I loved Ahmed Johnson. Unfortunately, it seems none of his co-workers are able to compliment him. They all say he was difficult to work with. He was very over with the fans none the less.
I remember when he first debuted in WCW, his gut had swole out so much that I thought he was an entirely different wrestler
Earl is alive it’s his Twin Brother Dave passed away.
shamrock was SO OVER in 1997…. for example, listen to the pops he got right after his match at Summerslam in ‘97
Ken is such a cool guy... Superb in ring performer as well. Maybe a little underrated
alot underrated my guy...he couldve been world champion...when I was a kid backyard wrestling, the anklelock was my submission finish lol...dude beat the rock in the finals of 98 KOTR and the only guy Iv seen made bret hart tap out...the ref was knocked out so it didnt count but still nice for a wrestling nerd but anyways my bro go Utube : are you a good person by living waters
I hope HHH puts shamrock in the hof.
Seems super humble 🫡
Short man complex 🤣🤣🤣
Scott Hall referred to it as "vanilla midget syndrome"
@@rodjohnson6408 i like call nash Vanilla ice cream quads .
Legend
Hardcore Holly !!!
you should interview Steve Blackman ..it would be the most quietest interview you will ever do im sure lol..all jokes aside Blackman is severely underrated imo
It's was cool to see that side of Ken Shamrock
Ken should of gotten into martial arts movies
with steven segal XD
He was in a 90's martial arts movie called Champions with Danny Trejo.
Bob Holly.
Who?
When we say shoots what we mean is: provides and opinion on…
6:08 Bob holly aka Al snow lmfao. Ask him about HEAD
Man, no one could stand Ahmed Johnson could they? The guy took the business more seriously then Bret Hart, and that’s not always a good thing.
Earl Hebner is alive, his brother Dave Hebner died earlier this year
Tim White just died. That’s who they were talking about.
@@412StepUp pretty sure he got the 2 Hebner brothers mixed up
Tim White AND Dave Hebner died, within a week of each other, earlier this year.
@@412StepUp naaaw, they were Talkin about Earl … that’s y they brought up the MSJ before the statement was made, Earls’ Twin brother Dave died…. Tim White (rip) didn’t look anything like them. Lol
Wish you would've asked him about Big Boss Man
I would love to hang out with Bruce prichard. Seems like a great dude with lots of great stories!!!!!
Earl isn't dead. You're thinking of his brother, Dave.
Ken shamrock was only 2 inches taller than Brian Christoper.
2 inches- the difference between average and impressive
@@jaythor70 is that what your boyfriend tells you? 🤣
@@jaythor70 That’s what she said
THought shamrock was5 foot 11
@@jimmynitro9248 shamrock is 6ft. Brian Christopher was 5ft 10.
I feel shamrock has to be looking up pics of these guys, cause he don't remember most of them
Terry was with Brian Pillman , Dustin Rhodes , New Jack I think she was trying to get the superstar and she did but both had bad injuries got hooked it happens but , to me she may be with a wrestler but she keeping her eyes for the next big thing and hook her bags to him and hope it goes to the top floor
I'm in 2023 and Earl Hebner still isn't dead
When is that leather dog coller with chain figth gonna happen with marlenna and Sable
who did billy gunn have the bust up with?
3:00 Yeah Terri was smart, she managed Terrance Taylor, ad Alexandria York in The York Foundation! You have to be smart to use that computer they were using to win matches...
Brian Christopher wasnt even short. I hate heightism. It basically allows ridicule of a guy for something he has no control over.
Billy Gunn and Tonya Harding? What?
Terri was so hot...easily the most under-rated diva as far as looks
When did Shamrock become Mr. Dressup?
Dave Hebner passed away not earl
According to Russo:
"Ken didnt go further in WWF cause there were problems with his contract-negotiations."
JR said Ken was considered unreliable by Vince McMahon. Ken had a habit of no call no showing house shows he was booked on.
@@Provos7777 JR talks a lot of rubbish.
@@Provos7777 fck jr
@@Provos7777 Jr ain't shyt
@@Provos7777
Ken wanted to do UFC while being on WWF TV or something.
Terri 🤤
Cool
Holly the one with the lesbian haircut 🤷🏻♂️
Why did he pass on Blue Meanie? Do they have beef?
Yes. Meanie legit kicked his ass in a bar fight
What was the story on Brian Christopher and Bradshaw?? Lmao
When is teery geting in the ring with Sable four there leather dog coller with chain figth
Ken seems like a real cool guy . Plus i know his upbringing and story . You cant NOT love and respect him .
I am a cool guy. Thanks for the compliment.
@@Ken9284 Your welcome !
Who are these names your naming??I don't know who they are,I don't even think Ken shamrock knows who they are

Shamrock rules!
…….O’Doyles rule!
Why isn’t he in the hall of fame?
"The first person I'm gonna mention to you is the Blue Meanie."
"Oh... pass!"
🙄 That's so boring.
4:28 actually ken it is real, the money,miles, bumps on the mat and broken bones. It’s predetermined. You even said in the wwf commercials thru out 1997: “if you think this isn’t real, try lacing my boots”.
Earl Hebner DIDN’T Die, his brother Dave did…. Jeeez my guy, get ya facts together!
They weren’t talking about earl hebner, they were talking about Tim white
seagal's movies are terrible. we've been laughing at reviews of them on stream. 🤣😂
