Shamrock accompanied Rourke during his WWE appearance

From somebody who wants to be in the WWE to someone who has kind of already been there: Frank Shamrock, brother of WWE wrestler and UFC fighter, Ken Shamrock.

“The Legend” is one of the most accomplished MMA fighters in history as a UFC Middleweight (now Light-Heavyweight) Champion, who was the pound-for-pound No. 1 during his run with the UFC. He was also very good friends with one Mr Mickey Rourke.

Following Rourke’s immense success with the movie “The Wrestler”, he was to meet with the WWE about a possible appearance – which finally happened in his feud with Chris Jericho – and he brought along Shamrock to have his back. Jericho revealed in his autobiography that Vince McMahon even joked that he could take on Shamrock.
