More rumours suggest that Vince McMahon is worried about the incresing popularity of Pride (UFC) and is gonna pull off a similar stunt to the last time UFC had a surge in popularity,namely sign up some of the most popular names (last time it was Ken Shamrock & Dan Severn). By all accounts Ken Shamrock & Tito Ortiz would be his main targets but Dan Severn & Tank Abbott are also of interest (now that'd be interesting as Shamrock & Severn totally despise each other).
Also,WWE appears to have sent out an email regarding No way out in February,which is a Smackdown only PPV & the last PPV before WMXX. It apparently has this to say:
Quote:
Don't miss being there for the first WWE Pay-Per-View ever in San Francisco on Sunday, February 15 at 4:45PM at the Cow Palace.
This will be the final WWE Pay-Per-View on the "Road To WrestleMania XX"!
Here is your chance to be part of WWE history when all your favorite SmackDown! Superstars come to town. You won't want to miss...
Brock Lesnar vs. Eddie Guerrero for the WWE Title
Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero for the WWE Cruiserweight Title
John Cena vs. The Big Show for the U.S. Title
Plus, all the rest of your favorite SmackDown! Superstars!! (card subject to change)
Now if this is indeed a real email,then already the results to two of the matches at the Rumble have been spoilt (not that anyone believes Holly will win). Also the poster that has appeared for the event prominently displays Eddie,with the slogan "Wanted for lying cheating & stealing!"
