Former WWE rival and now close friend of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Ken Shamrock, was recently asked if he should be in the company's Hall of Fame.
The pro wrestling and mixed martial arts legend was in WWE from 1997 to 1999. Despite his brief time in the company, he competed in many classic matches against major stars like Triple H, The Rock, and Owen Hart.
Speaking on the Universal Wrestling podcast, Shamrock said that although he would like to be in the Hall of Fame, it is ultimately out of his control:
"I care [about being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame]. I think anybody that does anything at the highest level wants to be recognized for their greatness. It’s out of my control. Obviously, I think I did enough for me to be recognized." Shamrock added: "If I don’t get into WWE [Hall of Fame], it’s not something I’m going to lose sleep over. I see it as something important, but those are decisions that I cannot control." H/T EWrestling News
