* DeaderThanDisco: Back in the first events of UFC, Shamrock was everybody's favourite fighter, as he physically looked like straight out of a Van Damme film and was the only American who obviously knew what he was doing in the new and groundbreaking field of no holds barred.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: From the July 6 (taped June 30), 1998 ''Raw.'' [[Characters/WWENewGeneration King Mabel]] returned and interfered in Shamrock's match with Wrestling/JeffJarrett, likely due to his being left out of the "King of Kings Triple Threat" the week before involving Shamrock, Wrestling/OwenHart and Triple H. Mabel returning isn't the funny part. The funny part was Shamrock's promo, due to Mabel's awkward GenderBlenderName.
