Anyways, this does sound pretty interesting. Much more interesting than Kimbo Vs. Shamrock.

Shamrock will either tap the guy immediately or go to sleep immediately. There won't be any waiting around on that one. Shamrock is a fantastic draw and very promoter savvy... he learned quite a bit from Vince McMahon on how to fill arenas.

I loved Shamrock back in his heyday. After seeing his head turned into raw hamburger by Tito Ortiz, I just can't watch him fight anymore - it's embarassing. Kimbo will without a doubt knock him out.

Depends on how fast Shamrock can get him to the ground. Ortiz is a ground and pound master which pretty much nullifies Shamrock's best skills. Kimbo has not proven he can do a single thing on the ground - he may have gotten tapped by a total jobber in his last fight - and if Shamrock can get him off his feet Kimbo has no chance.
Of course, Shamrock could be doing what Abbott did - taking a nice fat check to put Kimbo over on national TV. Kimbo's network appeal is worth more to the sport than the integrity of that particular promotion.

Luckily, he was around Vince when the WWF was at its peak. The late 90s was best time professional wrestling has ever seen, when there was true competition with WCW (I loved ECW, but it was never a threat to either of them...they just had all their talent stolen). You'd hope Shamrock maybe picked up a few tips. Hell, the Ken / Tito feud was as hyped as anything I'd seen in pro wrestling.
Speaking of which, man I miss the real ECW....

I'm fine with guys losing because they don't have the skills or experience, but I really don't want guys doing jobs in MMA. However, just like boxing, it's never going to stay free of corruption. Taking a dive is pretty much the same as being a jobber.
