Former WWE Superstar Reveals Why They Turned Down Incest Storyline

Wrestling fans know that from time to time outlandish storylines make their way to TV, and the fans saw quite a few outlandish angles during the Attitude Era.

At one point WWE introduced a character named Ryan Shamrock who was the on screen sister of former Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock, and an incest storyline was pitched to the World’s Most Dangerous Man.

Shamrock discussed the idea on the Scheduled For Two Falls podcast, and he explained his reasons for rejecting the storyline.

“Here is this beautiful young lady who’s interested in me and just felt comfortable and next thing you know, we’re in a relationship and she’s my sister supposedly in this wrestling thing, and that was the actual next storyline that they wanted me to do was they wanted me to have this incest with my sister. That’s why I was running around trying to save her and all these other things and I was like, ‘The World’s Most Dangerous Man, wants to have sex with his own sister?’ And by the way, my son’s name is Ryan. My legitimate son’s name is Ryan and they made her Ryan and I’m like, people are gonna go, ‘Isn’t that his kid?’ Way too close to home, and I was like, ‘No. I’m not doing that.’”

Ken Shamrock parted ways with WWE in 1999 and he has yet to make a return to the company, although he has publicly said that he’d like to do so.
