Not yet true. If anything they are on the same level. Ken's work performance and rate was also higher than Yokozuna's despite Yoko winning the big belt.
In approximately 2 years Ken...
- Feuded with Vader
- Feuded with The Hart Foundation (British Bulldog)
- Fought Shawn Michaels as WWF Championship, title on the line
- Feuded with The Rock
- Won the 1998 King of the Ring
- Feuded with Owen Hart
- Was in a stable with Mankind and The Rock
- Was a member of The Corporation
- Was a tag team champion
- Was a intercontinental champion
- He held both of those belts at the same time
- Feuded with Goldust
- Feuded with Billy Gunn
- Feuded with Val 'Short Penis' Venis
- Feuded with the Undertaker
- Feuded with Jericho
- Brought the ankle lock submission into play which has since been used by Jack Swagger and Kurt Angle.
- Brought 'tapping out' to WWF
- Brought a lot of intensity
So yeah, Yokozuna had a powerful career with what may be described as a low work rate. In 2 years time Shamrock helped reshape the WWF during a state of growing fluctuation. At the time he was The World's Most Dangerous Man and this was literally true if you had experienced his UFC career up to this point in time.
Sunny was just tits and ass, a manager and a mouth piece. She was great but she was not a wrestler. Yes Sunny was as hot as the sun back then so Taker it Easy.
... and yes, Billy Gunn and Goldust deserve to be in the HOF.
