and Jon me and you could very easily sit around the table and work up an entire marketing scheme to get the next CBS card over just on promos alone and video highlights. This event last night did only a slight bit of damage to the ability to make it 'work' however if the editorial's financial picture is true than those are problems that are more difficult to overcome.

I think you're really overestimating the value of all this, including Shamrock.
The only way EliteXC last is if they make money, and the only way they make money is if they get people to buy PPVs, which they intend on doing but may never get to. Nobody will pay to see Shamrock (either of them) Kimbo, Carano ect. Even Ortiz, he's worth some buys but he's not stupid enough to get onto a sinking ship. In the last couple months he's been joining Affliction, EliteXC, starting his own promotion, returning to the UFC. Basically as always, he's doing anything to get his name out there, and hopes the UFC bites.
