  1. It is interesting to note that Shamrock went from pro wrestling to MMA, rather than the other way around (which generally doesn't turn out too well). He had already built the great physique. The earliest match video I found after a cursory search was from April 1991, over a year before he started in MMA, but according to the article there should be matches back to 1989:

    A lot of his early 90s stuff is under the name "Vince Torelli." Anon.
