July 29, 201312 yr Author comment_5553861 Lawler introduces Ken Shamrock at ringside. Shamrock's first appearance on WWF TV. Lawler credits himself for teaching Shamrock what he knows, and Shamrock says he has no idea who Lawler is.
August 6, 201312 yr comment_5554992 It's not hard to see why they kept Shamrock away from the mic as much as possible during his run.
August 11, 201312 yr comment_5555733 As if the ECW invasion wasn't enough we get the debut of Shamrock and a closeup of Green Latern Fan in the crowd. Shamrock insults the King as says he doesn't know him.
August 20, 201312 yr comment_5557364 I really don't like Lawler as heel WWF announcer (especially compared to his Memphis persona in 1997) but I thought he was pretty funny here with the "I trained Ken Shamrock" stuff.
August 29, 201312 yr comment_5559271 Shamrock was really horrible here "I don't know you." "Who are you?" (repeat 5 times)
August 30, 201312 yr comment_5559414 Lawler initially puts over Shamrock and UFC and takes credit for training Ken. Shamrock calls him a liar. Ken wasn't the best talker but I thought it was part of his charm in 98/99.
August 9, 201510 yr comment_5691017 Lawler introduces a "very good friend of his," Ken Shamrock. Vince refers to him as "very controversial." Lawler is great here, throwing himself into these blatant lies with gusto. Sort of brings to mind sincerely trying to pass off that 20-something model as his "mother." "Tapping out" is uttered! Didn't think the WWF beat WCW to that. Shamrock stands nearby.
May 19, 20178 yr comment_5800912 Ken Shamrock's WWF introduction. This is amusing as Lawler claims to be friends with Shamrock & brags about working out with him & teaching him submissions. My favorite part is when Lawler calls him "Kim" by accident or not & Shamrock's reaction to it. Shamrock says he doesn't know who Lawler is & calls him a liar. His amusement to all of this is pretty funny.
September 1, 20205 yr comment_5927418 Lawler is usually really fun in these sorts of roles because he'll lean allllll the way into being a doofus. And this was basically what that was.
