Vince Russo is a former writer for WWE, WCW and IMPACT Wrestling. He also won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at one point in his career.
Vince Russo was recently interviewed by The Hannibal TV on YouTube. The former WWE writer was asked about Ken Shamrock and whether he felt that Shamrock was someone who could have been a world champion.
Russo said that he was personally a big fan of Shamrock and noted Shamrock’s role in The Rock’s career. Russo also revealed how “contractual problems” prevented Shamrock from getting a truly big push:
Ken Shamrock’s WWE career
Ken Shamrock made his WWE debut in early 1997, billed as ‘The Most Dangerous Man in the World’. He went on to referee the submission match between Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 the following month.
Although Shamrock’s WWE career was pretty short, with him leaving in 1999 to focus on MMA, he had a number of memorable matches and feuds. He was also part of Vince McMahon’s faction The Corporation, later joining The Union to take on the Corporate Ministry.
