UPDATE ON WWE'S MEETING WITH PRIDE, INCLUDING A SHOT AT UFC BY WWE
WWE posted the following tonight on their corporate website.
According to Vince McMahon, Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, Friday’s meetings between PRIDE and WWE were cordial and informative. The two companies met to discuss potential opportunities. With the exception of continuing dialogue, no definite steps were taken.
PRIDE is considered to be the leader in the global Mixed Martial Arts market. In addition, PRIDE has a popular professional wrestling promotion in Japan called HUSTLE. The promotion will soon be running an event known as Hustlemania.
Continue checking WWE.com as more information on PRIDE and WWE becomes available.
The line about PRIDE being the "leader" in global MMA was certainly a shot at UFC. I think it's safe to say that UFC is on WWE's radar with a line like that in the story.
