He actually started as a pro wrestler, debuting in the South Atlantic Pro Wrestling promotion in 1989, under the name "Mr. Wrestling" Vince Torelli. This led him to All Japan Pro Wrestling, and he would go back and forth between SAPW and Japanese "shoot-style" promotions such as Universal Wrestling Federation and PWFG until he walked away from wrestling for MMA. He competed for Pancrase and was on the first UFC event and would compete regularly for them until he returned to wrestling in 1997, this time for WWE. Over his time in WWE, he would hold the WWE Intercontinental Title once, the WWE World Tag Team Title once with the Big Bossman and win the 1998 King of the Ring Tournament. He returned to MMA in 2000 and went back and forth between the two. In 2002, he signed with the new NWA-TNA promotion, and was crowned the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion at NWA TNA #1. He has also been a trainer and was a coach on The Ultimate Fighter. His achievements in MMA include winning the UFC Superfight Title, the King of Pancrasists Open-weight Title and, along with Royce Gracie, being one of the first inductees into the UFC Hall of Fame.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Aborted Arc: Shamrock was going to fight Mark Hall in the PRIDE Grand Prix tournament capitalizing on their storyline together (see Bullying a Dragon below), but negotiations fell short and he faced Alexander Otsuka instead. | |

Audience Surrogate | |
| Ken Shamrock (Wrestling) / int_8ace85ef | comment |
Audience Surrogate: Type 3. For the early era of UFC, Ken was the audience's most familiar figure. Not only he was American and had a action film hero build, he was the only fighter who knew what he was doing aside from the weird Brazilian guys who had came to break the ground of traditional martial arts. To increase the mystic value, Shamrock even came accompanied by an inscrutable Japanese mentor who had taught him mysterious fighting techniques just like Mr. Miyagi, and he soon got involved in a real life martial arts feud motivated by revenge against the Brazilian fighters. Shamrock was basically the American Ninja. | |

The Ace: He was inhumanly strong, skilled in grappling and no slouch in striking, ripped to the gills, and over all this, an American. This naturally made him extremely marketable both in Japan and United States. | |
