It looks like WWE is bringing back the angle with Jackass and Johnny Knoxville. They originally had something planned for SummerSlam 2007 and then when that got nixed, there was talk of them doing something at Royal Rumble earlier this year. The Jackass crew even filmed spots and shot promotional material for the pay-per-view. Some of the Jackass guys said back then that the plans with WWE had been moved to a future pay-per-view. Umaga was originally the Superstar set to work with Jackass but with him out injured, it looks like it will be The Great Khali giving it a shot.
The partnership with WWE could really help the Jackass crew out, after reports of their JackassWorld project being in trouble with MTV planning to pull most of its financial support. Another Jackass movie is being released in early 2009 and I'm sure they'd love to use WWE as a vehicle to promote it.

This can't possibly end well, but atleast they're not going to go over anyone important or with a future in wrestling.
