They should have given these guys a more dramatic entrance, which would have made a bigger impact and made promoting them on an individual basis a lot easier.

That's the reason why Zuffa bought Pride. They just didn't anticipate the legal problems of continuing the brand. As for the cross promotion war, Cro Cop came out to the Pride theme and played the part of the heel. The collective no reaction from the audience is probably what took the steam out of any Pride invasion angle.
