Perhaps it's just the PS2 game with the PSP-exclusive wrestlers thrown in.
Today's Observer site news update has more on the plans for Mayweather, stating that the current idea is for the match to be Rey and Mayweather against Show and a mystery partner -

Since Shane got involved last night, has history with Show, and of course, is a McMahon in a high-profile match, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up being the mystery partner.
Excellent PPV overall - the opener was decent, the SD chamber was great once Khali and V were gone, Rey-Edge was short but told a great story thanks to Rey's injury, then we got the Mayweather-Show confrontation, which was just fantastic.
The crowd got hotter and hotter for it as it went on, then Mayweather came in, clocked him, ran off in a daze with his crew (which is what I loved more than anything else they did, as they slipped, tripped, fell, and added to the reality of it), then Show looked like he wanted to just kill them all, but was held off by Shane. Just glorious stuff, and a fan saying "Which way did he go, Show?!" while Shane consoled Show got a laugh of me. Pure greatness in that segment, which is good, because then Adamle spoke, screwed up the name of the company, and a fan with a WWF-logod Smoking Skull belt mugged for the camera.
Kennedy-Flair was a bit short, but quite good, with Kennedy pulling off some moves that I wasn't expecting (like the ringpost figure 4), and losing clean to the master of the figure 4 after trying to beat Flair with his own move earlier. In the past, I've mentioned that I subscribe to idea that the master of a move will do more damage with it than a guy just doing it, and that held up here.
The WWE Title match was fine - nothing particularly memorable, but an okay match that told a good story. Orton being a pure dick heel in it was fantastic, although I question the wisdom of having Orton get FUed and choked out in one night.
The Raw chamber was fantastic aside from some very small lulls when Umaga just stood around. Jericho and Michaels got it started with a good little mini-match full of cradles, near falls and the like, then Umaga came in and just massacred them - easily the job they've done of rebuilding him as a monster heel since the latter half of '07 that saw his stock drop.
The crossface/Walls combo was nice to see again, and served as a somewhat logic way to have the action stop in the ring while they did the dramatic shit with the "who will be next?" music and lighting. Otherwise, I liked seeing JBL eliminated, but get revenge on both Jericho and Umaga with the chairshots, the fast-paced elimination of HBK, followed by Hardy taking the pedigree but kicking out was exciting, and Jeff was protected very well in losing. Everyone was protected fairly well, actually. Very impressive match overall.
