Well, thank you. I appreciate that introduction. Thank you.
Ken, always great to see you. You look like you're in great shape as always. How are you feeling these days?
I'm good, man. You look good also, brother, man.
You look nice and thick, man. Not as good as you, not as good as you, but I'm trying, I'm trying.
How has Ken Shamrock adjusted to life after his fighting career?
Life in general these days, Ken, good for you? What are you doing with yourself?
Yeah, you know, it takes a while, as you know, to go from place to place, all the fast-paced excitement to normal life, family life. And it took me two, three, four years to try to let go and settle in to the things that were really important to me and the things that I was missing along those ways. But right now, I'm in a great space, good head space, good life, great marriage, great family, just celebrated Father's Day. To all those out there, happy Father's Day, belated Father's Day. But it is a special time, and a lot of times I miss some of those days, as you know. a lot of holidays a lot of special times that you have to miss in order to be able to live a certain lifestyle and so you know now it's that time for me to really enjoy the things that are really most important to me and that's my family and friends
That's awesome. And to be able to, and that's the biggest thing, Ken, right? It's just embracing the new era in your life that you've earned because of all the hard work that you put in. Like you deserve and earned this period to kind of just celebrate your career, but also celebrate your life with the loved ones and the people who truly care about you.
Well, again, and I don't mean to dump on anything anybody says, but Whenever you start getting into the area of saying deserved or, you know, I kind of like to live my life on being able to accomplish things that you accomplish, right? Deserved never enters into it. And so that's just kind of the way I like to live my life. Even while I was in the industry and working and doing those things, And now in the life that I am now with family and friends, everything that you do in life is always by the efforts that you put into it.
Ken, we see a lot of people come from the outside into the world of WWE. Do you remember the first time you stepped into the locker room or stepped into the ring and how different it was for you and how you were accepted by the boys?
I think it was gradual for me it was a lot of stops and goes uh because of the career that I had in MMA and then also pro wrestling you know I started out as a pro wrestler you know I was a high school wrestler I did well I broke my neck early on had to do some things to get around that football uh ended up um finding some places down in Mooresville North Carolina and working with uh Nelson Royal and the crew down there and really getting my feet wet. Had some early on success. I had some natural ability. I would say the first time that I got in the ring and really got to have an understanding of pro wrestling to its core as well. I did a title match with, with Nelson Royal and, and, and it wasn't just about the title, right?
There was a lot of other pieces that went with it. And fortunately for me, before I ever stepped into the ring, into the, into the, uh, the WWE or WWF or whatever they call it now. Um, I have a, I had some experience and some psychology into how how success was gained inside of pro wrestling. And a lot of it has to do with locker room and relationships. And then, of course, it's the entertainment world that you have to grasp onto.
