Ken Shamrock wants TNA return?

[Celgress]

UFC Hall of Famer and the first TNA Wrestling Champion Ken Shamrock recently spoke with Wrestling Glory Days Weekly concerning the possibility of returning to either TNA or the WWE. Below are the TNA related parts of the interview.
A possible TNA return:

"TNA, in the short time I was there, I didn't have the time I needed to work there. Now I have that time and I am in great shape. I don't need to worry about keeping my size down for fighting because I'm not fighting... so yeah, I'm pretty much open for getting back."

TNA being a good fit for his return:

"Yeah, you know, I would just love to. I just haven't had anybody really reach out... I'm done fighting pretty much and I'm looking to get back into pro wrestling and do some stuff there. I'm pretty much open."

Probably adds more fuel to the rumors that he is broke

[BorneAgain]

Bring him for one potentially fun match with Angle, but beyond that I can't see much good coming from a Shamrock run at this point.

[Sephiroth]

Actually I could possibly see a short program with Joe. But that is about it.

[The Spelunker!]

Id be okay with a Shamrock run. Just don't give him the title. But he could have fun matches with Angle and Joe for sure, and it'd be interesting to see him mixed in with the roster.

[Emmet Russell]

Shamrock would be a good addition to their HOF next year, being their first champion & all. I don't know how much he has left in the tank as a wrestler but I would certainly be wiling to give him a chance.

[crowwreak was WRONG]

If his body isn't held together by thread, this could be good.

Ken Shamrock going to TNA for money is like going to comiccon for hot women.

So they have it, but they mostly only use it to get people to buy merch?

Well more likely that going to TNA might help him get a deal with Bellator

THere was a fight on last year between Shamrock and some younger guy....Ken was just getting his ass handed to him. So it would be best for him to get out while he can still walk out.

I think he would be a good fit in TNA.

Didn't he have issues with Shawn Michaels going back to 1997? So I don't see him returning to WWE.

To be fair, a lot of people probably had issues with Michaels in 1997.

Ken Shamrock needs to go into the WWE HOF and be featured in backstage skits, snapping at Wrestlemania and colelcting cheque from toy sales. f*** TNA.

This isn't a Brock Lesnar situation where he still have enough dominating presence, market value, and physical abilities to make it work everyone's time. Shamrock's best days are far behind him. Considering that AAW was going to use him for a show and Ken cancelled at the last moment, I'm not surprised that any promotion aren't knocking down his door. Trying the TNA angle might work with Spike wanting to boost up Bellator. But I'm not interesting seeing Ken trying to wrestle. If Spike, TNA, and Bellator really wants another MMA fighter/pro wrestler; Bobby Lashley is available.

And you just mentioned all the reasons TNA will probably sign him.

Considering Shamrock's current financial situation, he wouldn't cost them much money. TNA could offer him Knockout pay and he'll take it.

[jimmyjames]

Combined with the Frank Shamrock special after Impact, I'm sure Spike would front the money for him.

[Hawk Hart]

Man, a Ken Shamrock return would make me miss the Impact Zone for all the sake of all the terrible jokes.

[Kash Flagg]

Dixie's bodyguard?

[The Spelunker!]

What's Shen Kamrock doing in the Allegan County Fairgrounds?
