Was Ken Shamrock injured by chair shot?
In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Ken Shamrock revealed exact reason behind him t suffering a concussion or an injury.
", it was a lot easier for me to take that to forehe," Shamrock said. "Because it didn't hit me directly in face. So, when he swung it, all I did was tip my chin down and took it right in forehe. And if you kw anything about how your body is, your forehe is thickest bone in your he. So, inste of taking it to top of he or anywhere else, that was place I knew, when I took it, that I wouldn't get a concussion."
"And so, when he swung it, because I didn't want to take something... that I would embarrass myself... [If] somebody eases up on it. And I knew by hitting me in forehe, I knew he could swing it and I would be OK. And so when he hit me with chair... whack! And I literally... as I go to go back, I was like, 'Dude, I didn't... I hardly even felt it.' I mean, that's lie, I'm t lying. God as my witness, he swung that and he 'hitted' me with it, and I literally went, 'Well, that was a lot better than I thought.' As I was rolling backwards and I hit ground, and I was like, 'Thank God I'm alive.'', Shamrock ded.
