Ken Shamrock is an inaugural UFC Hall of Famer and former WWE champion. He is widely considered a forefather of Mixed Martial Arts and a pinnacle of the famous "attitude era" of the WWE.

To say Ken had a tough childhood is an understatement. His father abandoned their family when he was 5. His mother married an army aviator who moved them to Napa California. There Ken and his brothers were outsiders and were bullied. This led to troublemaking and drug use. At 13 he was kicked out of his home and was left to fend for himself.

Luckily Ken found himself at Bob Shamrock's boys home. There he found his voice through youth sports programs and turned his life around. The Shamrocks adopted Ken as a teenager.

Hear the rest of the story. Hear Ken discuss his origins in mixed martial arts. Listen to him discuss parts of his pro wrestling career and his philosophy on the mindset of a champion.
