I have always been a fan of his, and I've been watching some old RAW is WAR tapes from 1998 and remembered how over he was, so I started questioning myself why hasn't Ken Shamrock pushed to the main event and eventually won the WWF Title? I mean, he was over, had the looks, he wasn't bad on the mic and was entertaining in the ring.

I agree, I quite liked him as part of a tag team with the Big Bossman,and the whole Corporation stable was great for its time.
Despite him winning KOTR in '98 (which was overshadows by the HIAC match) he never seemed to get past midcard, which was a shame. Perhaps because of his MMA background he was not lined up to be a part of the main event picture, I don't know.

I think Shamrock was a wrong place/time situation.
Austin was the man and Vince was cultivating Rock,Foley and HHH for the top.

I've always felt Shamrock was just a little to early for the WWF. For better or worse the product Shamrock was a part of was based at least 60% on talking, something he wasn't particularly good at. Had Shamrock debuted around 2000/2001 he would have been in the main event scene and almost certainly would have been a big star and possible world champion with the brand split.

fair point actually.Shamrock WAS weak on the stick at a time when it was WAY more important than what happened after the bell

Austin & Shamrock should have had a 1-2 PPV feud.

Shamrock was GOD AWFUL on the mic. Way worse than Shelton or Jeff Hardy.
But like others said, wrong time, wrong place.

I used to love him when I was younger, now I'm older and understand wrestling a bit more I watched some 97-98 WWE and realised Shamrock was hella over... But was absolutely awful on the mic.

Shamrock; woulda been a great World Champion if done right. He coulda had a manager that would speak for Shamrock, since Shamrock is supposedly the "World's Most Dangerous Man"... Why would he talk when he could easily use action to speak for himself?
