Ken Shamrock: I’d like stab those writers in the eye with a pen

“We do this for the entertainment now. I enjoy it; I love the competition.

“That’s what they have a hard time understanding when you’re sitting on the outside of the ring pushing a pen. You don’t know what it’s like to have to stop something you love doing. It’s like stoppin breathing; it’s like telling me to stop breathing. It’s not going to happen, not as long as I have two legs and two arms that I can still swing.

“I’m going to continue to keep doing it as long as I can and as long as the fans want me to, and you pen pushers, put your pens back in your pocket and wait for something more exciting to write about.”
