Early on in his MMA career, Ken Shamrock was nicknamed “The Rock.”
While speaking on a recent edition of the “Vlad TV” podcast, Shamrock revealed that his original contract with WWE had the nickname listed. He said,
“I was Ken ‘The Rock’ Shamrock when I came out to fight. He [Dwayne Johnson] had no clue, absolutely no clue that I was named ‘The Rock.’ In fact, when I came to him and I kind of joked about it, that I had that carved out in my contract. I kind of laughed about it.”
Shamrock continued, “He was like, ‘Oh, what? Really?’ I was like, ‘Brother, don’t worry about it, man. It’s not a big deal. I don’t care.’ He made it more famous than me, right?”
Rikishi believes Jimmy Uso will find his way when he eventually returns to WWE.
On a recent edition of his “Off The Top” podcast, the father of Jimmy Uso expressed his belief that his son will be just fine when he returns. He said,
“I feel, in due time, Jimmy, he’ll find Jimmy. It took Jey to break off in a single to kind of fall into the character and his style of working, as far as the brand of YEET. Me knowing my boys, the twins personally, they both got attitudes, man. It just so happened that Jey took off and he’s doing his thing.”
He continued, “When Jimmy does come back, it’s not gonna take long, be it he comes back as a single or they decide to put him Jey together to be able to join Roman, which I probably think that would probably be the route to go, but if they just decide to come back as a single for Jimmy, I think it won’t take long for Jimmy to find himself, to be able to come up with his own deal. He’s very, very talented. He’s smart, he’s athletic. So I don’t think it gonna be a problem for him to find his way.”
