Backstage Update On The Future Of WWE NXT Level Up, Ken Shamrock Reveals Why He Left WWE

Yesterday at 07:58 PM

While there have been some rumors that WWE NXT Level Up will be "discontinued", there are still many matches planned for future episodes. If the show does end up being axed, it won’t be happening any time soon. One source expressed their belief that it would be a mistake to cancel Level Up, as it gives debuting talent TV experience.

During a recent appearance on the “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” podcast, Ken Shamrock revealed why he chose to leave WWE in 1999, including his refusal to wrestle Chyna. He said,

"My own personal thing was, I just didn't want to get in the ring with Chyna. I taught my children at a young age, and they were at the time eight, seven, and five. Young kids, going to school. One of the things that I drilled into their head is that you respect women and that you don't lay your hands on them. I was asked to do that. I get it, it's entertainment, but my family comes first. If I'm doing something that is going to possibly, it might not, but possibly confuse them, I'm not doing it. It's not like WWE had it in for me. It was things that I believed it. It felt like I was constantly going into a direction that had no end to it. It was very respectful when I said I didn't want to do it. I may have gotten beat a few times [laughs], but there was no anger or anything like that."
