UFC and WWE veteran Ken Shamrock addressed the persistent claim that WWE wrestling is "fake." Shamrock, who transitioned from the UFC to WWE, highlighted the complexities and risks involved in professional wrestling. He recalled the early criticism he faced for joining WWE, often labeled as "fake stuff." Despite the stigma, Shamrock saw it as an opportunity to showcase submission techniques within an entertainment context. Shamrock argued that while WWE matches have predetermined outcomes, the physical toll is real. He cited the infamous chair shot delivered by The Rock as a prime example, challenging skeptics to distinguish the act's authenticity from its predetermined ending. He emphasized that wrestlers often sustain more injuries than MMA fighters because they willingly take hits and perform dangerous stunts for entertainment. Shamrock concluded by acknowledging that the integration of WWE and UFC, while surprising to some, made sense given the entertainment value both industries offer.
