Former UFC star-turned-WWE Superstar Ken Shamrock has never been shy about his criticisms of the WWE and his place in company lore, and he recently said he believes he belongs in the Hall of Fame.

Shamrock, who was a top midcard star during the WWE's Attitude Era, spoke with NotInHallofFame.com and discussed his influence on the WWE while adding he should be in the Hall of Fame.

"I don't know if I can really speak to that," Shamrock told the site about his influence on the WWE product. "I do feel that I definitely deserve to be in their Hall of Fame based on the things that I did while I was there, being able to change that sport along with other people. I feel I earned that right based on what I was able to do there in a small amount of time."

He added: "I'm not sure that I can stand here and boast about that. The fans are the ones that really tell the tale and I think they speak very loudly about where I stand in pro wrestling. I don't think that there are too many people who would tell you that I don't deserve to be there."

Shamrock, who is a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, one-time WWE Tag Team and Intercontinental Champion and the 1998 King of the Ring, said the WWE should listen to its fan base more than it does.

"Obviously, a lot of times the fans aren't listened to, or their opinions are overlooked a lot," he said. "Today's promoters just push them aside and don't listen to what they want and they want fans to 'shut up, sit down and enjoy the show', because we are going to do whatever we want to do, like it or not, because you are going to come to the show."

He continued: "I hear it all the time in the WWE. I hear about how fans would like to see certain wrestlers, and obviously you can't give them everything they want, but you at least have to listen to them and I believe they are being completely ignored. I've always said that I think the fans are most important [thing] that you have when it comes to the entertainment industry. They are the ones that matter most and they should be heard."

Lastly, Shamrock was asked if he would change anything in the WWE's product today.

"I would. In the WWE, I would push for them [having] an outlet for the wrestlers for them to vent their frustrations, a personnel department where they could talk one-on-one and talk about what is going on in their lives," he said. "There's nothing there right now. There are guys who are struggling in life and in certain situations and there is nowhere for them to turn. That is what I would definitely implement there."
