Welcome Home. Former World Champion Returning To Impact Wrestling.

Nice to see you again. While it might not be the most popular wrestling promotion in the world, Impact Wrestling has been around for a long time now, with over seventeen years of history. With so much time covered over the years, there are going to be some names that even the bigger fans might have forgotten about. One of those names from the very old days is making a return.

As announced on his Twitter, former NWA World Champion Ken Shamrock will be returning to the promotion at the September 5 and September 6 television tapings in Las Vegas. Shamrock appeared for the company in 2002 when the company was still part of the National Wrestling Alliance. This will be his first appearance for the company since a brief return in 2004.

It was a big moment in the day. Check out Shamrock’s World Title win:

Opinion: This isn’t something that is going to work in the long term but for a one off appearance, it is perfectly fine. Shamrock has not been involved in wrestling in a long time and it isn’t likely that he is going to be anything close to what he used to be. That being said, there is a certain curiosity and nostalgia feeling to having him around so see what he can offer, even in a one off appearance.

Do you want Shamrock back in the company? Who else should Impact Wrestling bring back? Let us know in the comments below.
