Over the last few months WWE has been signing a number of familiar names to legends contracts and now it seems that another former champion has signed a deal with the company.
Recently “The World’s Most Dangerous Man” spoke to Chris Van Vliet about his status with WWE, and he confirmed that the company has signed him to a legends deal.
“I’ve had a relationship with them forever, even since when I went away, we did a legends contract, so I’ve always been a part of them. It’s one of those things where I think I spent enough time there and did enough there that I feel like I’m a part of that family forever.”
Shamrock first debuted with WWE in 1997 and he worked with the company through 1999. During his time with WWE he managed to capture the Intercontinental Championship as well as the WWE Tag Team Championship. Ken Shamrock also won the King of the Ring tournament in 1998. It’s safe to say that many fans feel Shamrock deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame and he shared his thoughts on whether or not an induction could happen.
“Obviously any athlete that goes through a career and has made an impact wants to be recognized, and I do want to be recognized. But I don’t think of it until it’s brought up, right? It’s not something that I dwell on because I felt like everything that I’ve done in my life, I’ve been blessed to have been in those moments. What comes after that is just icing on the cake. And if that happens it’s going to be a true thrill. But like I said, it’s not something that I lose sleep over. I’ve really enjoyed my journey and very happy with the way my life has turned out.”
