That is to prove a point IMO that WWE wrestlers aren't that tough.

Gary Shaw....he's been around for the blink of an eye, taking a contract the UFC passed on, doing it the 'quick' way...the wrong way.
Not a fan of this guy, he would never even be in a position to open his mouth if it weren't for the Fert Bros and Dana.

Wow, very bold from gary. Wonder if he knows something about Kimbo that we dont.

shaw is only making bold clams like this because he knows he'll never have to back them up and that it will create a buzz for his promotion

Well if that what there trying to do(their not IMO) then its gong to be a bad plan after Lesnar takes down and wears out Herring(bad TD defence and no subs off his back) repeatadly through the first few rounds TKO'ing him at the end of the 2nd.

EXC needs to start making money, and a whole list of other things before Gary Shaw can put Dana White to shame!

If dana didnt have the ferritas brothers, Dana wouldnt be shit in this world. gary shaw has done everything on his own. I would say Zuffa>Shaw, but Shaw>Dana.

Gary Shaw is all about short term gains. In the end, as much as I don't like it, EliteXC will implode while the UFC will continue to reign. Remember when the UFC was hot shit when it first started? Well, after UFC 4 of 5, it started crashing down.

First off, shaw is a moron if he thinks Kimbo could beat klitscho. hell, he's an idiot anyway because he seems to live in a dreamworld where he truly thinks he has the BEST fighters in every weight class. Elite XC is entertaining and I'll watch any fights on TV but he doesn't have any guys that are true top guys in any weight class.
As for Rampage not being marketed, he is on TUF which is a big marketing machine for the UFC. Do they still market chuck more? yes, they do but he is still probably the most popular fighter on the roster and ensures them PPV buys.
