I was just thinking some ideas to make PPVs more exciting and outstanding. I think a PPV like Unforgiven would be much more interesting if it was used as a special event. Maybe have a PPV where all the titles are contested twice? Or maybe have an annual PPV with a Round Robin Challenge style thing going on with the heavyweight title.

Anyway, you bring up an interesting point about the quality, and I really agree with you in a way. It's just a lot of people's favourite wrestlers may be disinigrated in the merging of the rosters. Maybe three main shows would be a better way to go, after a bit of warming up with just RAW & SmackDown!.

Another good point about this is how vulnerable the WWE would be during this time. I don't mean that as a con to rejoining the rosters, but as a pro. TNA have recently jumped leaps and bounds to fight for TV deals and PPV deals. This is the time TNA has to make themselves look on par with the WWE (which could be really diffilicult), but if the WWE changed enough to really change the focus of their shows, it could give TNA the chance to do something big. The WWE is fairly vulnerable now, but TNA is too different right now. The shows layouts seem so different that both appear to be aimed at different audiences.

This gives TNA some more security sure, but it doesn't really do much to compete with the WWE. If the WWE changed back to their "WWE" feel instead of "RAW & SmackDown!" feel, then it would be the same style shows, and would close a few bridges between WWE and TNA. If TNA then moved to Monday night's and had a bit of their show head into WWE RAW's, then it really could rekindle a few competitive Monday Night War flames, and that can only be a good thing.
