Ken Shamrock is asked his thoughts on people who say pro wrestling is fake.
Ken Shamrock is one of several names over the course of the past 30 years who has featured as part of both the UFC and WWE, and was an important part of the growth of mixed martial arts in the United States. That being said, Shamrock also still has a great deal of respect for the pro wrestling industry.
While speaking to DJ Vlad in a recent interview, Shamrock discussed the idea of wrestling being 'fake'. Shamrock suggested anyone who does believe wrestling is fake should watch The Rock's infamous chair shot he took in 1998.
"Oh, no question. But let me explain this in a way that I think that visually people might have a better understanding on why pro wrestling and people get physically beat up in pro wrestling is that I want people, if you haven't ever seen it yet, but to go watch it, I want you to go and look at the most famous chair shot that has ever been thrown in a WWF match, and that is with Ken Shamrock and The Rock. When you see that chair shot, you tell me that the ending is predetermined. Tell me that this is stuff that happens in a wrestling match. Whereas that in the end, and because of the ending is predetermined, that wrestling is fake."
