* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: During the preparation for his infamous match with Wrestling/TheRock, Shamrock told Johnson to not hit him high on the head with a steel chair. He instead asked for it ''across the face''. And told Johnson if he didn't put his back into it and really smack him good, he wasn't gonna sell it. Rock obliged, and Shamrock subsequently got knocked out cold.

** Ken worked a Pancrase style match in WWF against his student Vernon White. It was billed as an exhibition match, but during the match White "tried to turn it into something it wasn't" and "shoot" kicked Shamrock, causing Shamrock to snap and knock him unconscious with ground n' pound strikes. In actuality the entire match was worked, and the point was to build up how dangerous Shamrock was when he 'snapped' or 'got in the zone.'
** He dabbled into this during his feud with the Undertaker. In one promo he said that Undertaker was taking his occultism too far, and threatened to "beat some reality into Mark." The Undertaker's real name is Mark Calaway.

** The second fight against Wrestling/MasakatsuFunaki is believed to be a work in order to rebuild Funaki's reputation, which got damaged after losing to Ken at the first Pancrase event, and also to preserve Ken before his expected fights in the upcoming UFC 3.
It is believed that his losses against Frank Shamrock and Yuki Kondo were fixed by Funaki to give them credibility as top wrestlers. In his autobiography, Frank absolutely refuses to believe that his win over Funaki was legit. However this is contested by Ken in his podcast interview with Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin where Ken states unequivocally that all his fights with Funaki were legit, while being super shady about the Suzuki fight below.
