Ken Shamrock Weighs In On People Calling Pro Wrestling ‘Fake’

Ken Shamrock has a response ready for people who call professional wrestling “fake.” Shamrock was a major part of the Attitude Era and he spoke with DJ Vlad for an interview, during which he was asked about the notion of the general public considering pro wrestling as fake.

“Oh, no question,” Shamrock said (per Fightful). “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.”

He continued, “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.”

Shamrock last competed in August of 2022 in a match for Battleground Championship Wrestling.
