Vince McMahon was said to be "freaked out" after last week's "Ortiz vs. Shamrock 3" UFC special on SpikeTV drew a 3.1 overall rating and a 4.3 for the final quarter hour featuring the actual Ortiz vs. Shamrock fight. Vince went as far as to tell his writers to start coming up for ideas for Shamrock if they brought him in to WWE.

Supoosedly Paul Heyman had to explain to Vince that the UFC special's huge rating wasn't drawn just by Ken Shamrock, but that it was the whole Ortiz vs. Shamrock rivalry dating back years.

As of now, there's no word on whether the two sides are talking yet but WWE, namely Vince McMahon, is interested in the 42 year old "World's Most Dangerous Man". Shamrock is a former WWE Intercontinental champion who worked with the company during the Attitude era.

They've been trying to get Shamrock back for years. There's always been a disagreement about the number of dates and the fact that Vince doesn't want him fighting for UFC during his contract.

Shame... I always liked Shamrock.

Plus it only makes sense with Shamrock done with UFC. Why wouldn't one of the two wrestling companies try to sign him? Alex

He was in TNA when it first got up and running, infact i believe that he was their first champion, if not their second.

But I've always wanted to see a Kurt Angle vs. Ken Shamrock, if he goes to TNA then we will see it. But why did he leave the WWE in the first place? was it to go back to UFC or what?
