By this i mean do you think they would ever push someone to the title with a style like that? I was just thinking, Dan Puder has a style like that in OVW, old school Taz did, Shamrock, etc. But none have ever been real successful in the WWE, and im wondering if its just Vinnie Mac that doesnt care for that style. He likes his flippies and take-down mat rasslers, and his over-the-top sell wrestlers. I personally would like to see a good shoot wrestler take a good run as champ.
I'd say that Shamrock was pretty successful. Could of done more but did alright.

Yeah i think it would be over. I think the fans are looking for something different but Vince would never go ahead with it. Vince dosnt rate wrestling abilty

I want Shamrock back in the WWE. I remember his match against Austin where it looked like he had a chance of winning the title.

Shamrock hurts himself in wrestling more than he does in real fights.
The guy's the Kevin Nash of MMA.

Shamrock had all the potential in th world. Taz could have won the world title, and guys like Ortiz could (if they learned the basics) walk in a win the title. Angle could have been pushed as an ultimate fighter and with his charisma still been as successful.
