It takes a special kind of individual to have had the sort of career that Ken Shamrock has to his name. The MMA pioneer is a member of the Hall of Fame in both the UFC and Impact Wrestling. On his way to such success, Shamrock's professional wrestling journey saw him make more than one stop at The Dungeon.

Prior to his WWE debut in 1997, Shamrock trained in The Dungeon under the supervision of both Bret Hart and retired wrestler Leo Burke. The company had a good relationship with the Hart family at the time and liked to send its trainees to Calgary to ensure that they had the necessary grit to handle the demands of being a WWE Superstar.

The Hart Dungeon match: Fully Loaded 1998

Ken Shamrock and Owen Hart squared off in The Dungeon at Fully Loaded 1998.

Shamrock would return to The Dungeon just over a year later, this time as a fully-fledged Superstar. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" took on Owen Hart in a "Hart Family Dungeon" match as part of the Fully Loaded pay-per-view event in July 1998.

Although Shamrock lost the match due to interference from special referee Dan "The Beast" Severn, his name will forever be linked to The Dungeon as a result of his bout with Owen.
