<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On this episode of First Match we go all the way back to the beginning with the Worlds Most Dangerous Man, Ken Shamrock!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Stabbed at 10 years old, foster care, and a lot of fights, Ken had a rough start to say the least. But resiliency and the heart of a lion helped him to persevere and become one of the best fighters of all time! We follow Ken through those early years, being a "heavy" for Buzz Sawyer, his First Match, to Malenko introducing him to the strong style and bare knuckle world of Japan, working stiff with Vader, and we talk his part in the Attitude Era and his thoughts on his time in WWE!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Enjoy!!!&lt;/p&gt;

Description

On this episode of First Match we go all the way back to the beginning with the Worlds Most Dangerous Man, Ken Shamrock!

Stabbed at 10 years old, foster care, and a lot of fights, Ken had a rough start to say the least. But resiliency and the heart of a lion helped him to persevere and become one of the best fighters of all time! We follow Ken through those early years, being a "heavy" for Buzz Sawyer, his First Match, to Malenko introducing him to the strong style and bare knuckle world of Japan, working stiff with Vader, and we talk his part in the Attitude Era and his thoughts on his time in WWE!

Enjoy!!!
