If I had to guess, Tito is holding out for better pay and a return to chasing his MMA dreams. In his prime, Tito was making 6-figures per fight plus a cut of the PPV revenue. I don't think WWE can match that, and we all know that Tito has a hefty ego. Tito has also been unwilling to fight in organizations outside the UFC... I'm not sure about Randy Couture as a movie star. He's an amazing athlete, and seems like a smart, decent guy, but he looks and comes across as more of a friendly fireman than a man-killer. Vanderlei Silva? Arvloski? Thiago Alves? Those men would make insane villains!! Why doesn’t Tito go for WWE?

I'm sure he still wants to fight for real and quickly signed a contract to do so once his UFC deal was up, but I can't believe the E didn't toss some big money his way. Can he work? Probably not, but he'd have to be better than Kali in the ring and I'd pay to see him in a second before I'd shell out for more of JBL or Batista. The guy has celeb-like credibility thanks to the ratings he drew with Shamrock and no fan is going to remember that he lost his last few MMA fights anyway. He's got charisma for days. I think he could have easily been thrown into some matches that would have drawn. Tito-HHH at Wrestlemania would work in a great and unique way, in my opinion. Again, couldn't be worse than JBL or Batista ruining another main event.
