SD/ECW Merging?
http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/article...nershipforming
WWE.com has learned that several meetings have taken place between Acting SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero and ECW General Manager Armando Estrada that, if ratified, would allow SmackDown and ECW Superstars to compete on Tuesday and Friday nights. While nothing is signed as of yet, locker room sources say that this open door agreement between Vickie and the cunning Cuban shyster will be discussed tonight, live on ECW on Sci Fi. No further details have been released, and when pressed for more information, Estrada was tight-lipped (a rarity in its own right). “I have no news for you right now,” said Estrada. “But tonight on ECW on Sci Fi (10/9 CT), I will give some insight into these, come se dice, meetings.” |

Combine a commentary team for them as well. Styles and JBL!

I'm guessing it's so ECW's incredibly shallow roster can have some fresh matches. SD and ECW are all done in one taping, and maybe having Punk/Morrison/Big Daddy V and whoever maybe do a promo on Smackdown or something might give ECW a little bit of a ratings boost.

So basically this will probably lead to Punk getting squashed by Batista in a title unification match. Nice.

Either that or it will be Morrison and Batista. However, I'm sure the ECW Title will be defended up through December when ECW's contract ends with Sci-Fi. |

Of course, by then, it'll have less meaning than the US title.
...What am I saying..."By then?" |

I'm guessing it'll go like this:
-Wrestlers compete on both shows for awhile -Eventually, the wrestlers from the two shows begin feuding then we get something like Batista, Undertaker, Matt Hardy, MVP, and Finlay vs. CM Punk, Big Daddy V, John Morrison, Tommy Dreamer, and Elijah Burke. SS Elimination match, losing brand dies SD obviously wins and the ECW timeslot is used officially as Velocity until the Sci-Fi contract expires. ECWers simply either get put on one of the two remaining shows or get canned |

This could be a lot of fun. Elijah Burke and CM Punk on SmackDown!? That would be good shit.
Also, if they do a commentary team switch, I think it should be Michael Cole & Tazz on ECW, and Joey Styles & JBL on SmackDown!. |

Also, this means we can get Nunzio in the cruiserweight division. It's not much, but it's another one.

Haha, defeats the whole purpose of the "brand split" as far as that goes. I blame Teddy Hart.
