You know how every pro wrestler and wrestling show in the world flocks to the location of WrestleMania to run shows on WrestleMania weekend? A production company is doing that with this year’s Super Bowl in Atlanta, GA, promoting two nights of events that include everyone from Joey Ryan and Kris Wolf to most of the best characters from Lucha Underground.
And, in an announcement made on Monday afternoon, Ken Shamrock.
Shamrock (who showed up to a Bellator fight alongside Road Warrior Animal, has sworn an oath of protection to Kim Kardashian, and says he could’ve kicked Brock Lesnar’s ass) is returning for his first pro wrestling match in the United States since 2009. Here’s the announcement:

If you’re wondering, that 2009 match was a win over Jimmy Jacobs at the Insane Clown Posse’s Bloodymania III, which is a very fun fact. Before that, his last wrestling matches were between 2002 and 2004 for TNA Wrestling in its infancy, with a pit-stop overseas in New Japan. Shamrock’s most famous stint in the squared circle, of course, is his shorter-than-you-remember run in the World Wrestling Federation between 1997 and 1999, where he won the King of the Ring tournament and had runs with the Tag Team and Intercontinental Championships.
Keep an eye on these shows, and make sure you check them out if you’re in the area that weekend. I am sworn to secrecy about one of the yet-to-be-announced special guests, but I’ll say it’s extremely relevant to the site’s interests and that we’ll be breaking it as soon as humanly possible.
