"Vince McMahon was said to be "freaked out" after last week's "Ortiz vs. Shamrock 3" UFC special on SpikeTV drew a 3.1 overall rating and a 4.3 for the final quarter hour featuring the actual Ortiz vs. Shamrock fight. Vince went as far as to tell his writers to start coming up for ideas for Shamrock if they brought him in to WWE.
Supoosedly Paul Heyman had to explain to Vince that the UFC special's huge rating wasn't drawn just by Ken Shamrock, but that it was the whole Ortiz vs. Shamrock rivalry dating back years.
As of now, there's no word on whether the two sides are talking yet but WWE, namely Vince McMahon, is interested in the 42 year old "World's Most Dangerous Man". Shamrock is a former WWE Intercontinental champion who worked with the company during the Attitude era."

Just need to adjust that a tad Congy, who'd have thought a GOOD long rivalry would draw money.

Well, who'd have thought that a long rivalry would draw more than any individual can?
This kind of story emphasizes exactly why Heyman is a genius and Vince isn't...

Haha dear oh dear Vince. Shamrock's an old washed up has been, he wasn't drawing that number alone just like Heyman said, that is a rivalry going on for ages. People either tuned in to see the arrogant Ortiz finally get his ass kicked (not likely) or Shamrock get owned yet again and finally, and hopefully, put on the shelf for good.
It's quite funny how an actual real fighting show has a better rivalry and story than anything the WWE has come up with in years
