• There is a possibility that the WWF will unify the WWF and WCW tag team belts, and make only one tag team championship for both promotions. If this happens, the same might happen with WWF's light heavyweight title and WCW's cruiserweight belt. If this does go through at all, it will be soon, and the Undertaker and Kane will hold the unified tag team championship, while X-Pac is expected to be the titleholder for the light heavyweight division. It would be odd if this occurred with the likelihood of WCW getting their own TV slot, so if it does happen, it may be a hint that the WWF/Alliance will be involved with each other forever.

Weren't they having a hard time trying to get a timeslot for the WCW show? I remember it being suggested as a saturday night possibility, but for whatever reason it didn't happen. I'm not so sure Vince wants to have the WCW as a separate entity to WWF. Everyone knows that its still a McMahon production, so why have a WCW as a "competitive" division when in reality there is no competition? If anything, just have another show on saturday nights or whenever, and make it like a METAL or JAKKED, but more wrestling and less weekly recaps.

that is fine for now but what happens when the WCW breaks away from the WWF???? sooner or later the WCW is gonna have its own Telivized broadcast...

oops i didn't see this i just saw the title of thread & posted...
i would like 2 see them seperate sooner or later. there are just way too many wrestlers not in the ring that should be. when they seperate they could have the talent pool spread across both factions...

Who's your source for this info TeenWeek??

Interesting idea, but then there would be way too many wrestlers for now enough titles. That means every title match is gonna be a 3 way or 4 way dance. It would eventually get boring too.

that's the problem with not splitting the WWF and WCW. there are just to many guys. and if they use the new show as just another B group WWF show no one will watch.

i think in the long run they will be forced to split them up

not true....

i would watch it. there are alot of wcw fans that would religously watch it. besides the fact that it is owned by WWFE, there is no way in hell that they would put it up against there main shows like RAW or Smack Down...

i say either tues or wednesday would be a good night for wcw to air as well as a Friday or Saturday night show. but i guess we have 2 wait & see...

i think it would depend on how they split it up. It's not the same WCW stars. there is no flair or steiner. Booker T is the big name and he seems more like a WWF guy now. with stone cold on the WCW side it really makes it seem like one big WWF show(instead of an "Invasion") and it will be tough to split them if they don't do it soon.

if they can split it up and keep good storylines going of course i would watch to. but i don't want a loaded WWF and a weak WCW show. mix up the talent

Nevermind..... you didn't see anything. Any question I may have had might have been answered in another thread, therefore to avoid any possible appearance of tooldom, this would have been edited. But of course, this is all just speculation as that thought no longer exists.

Honestly, I say forget this bs of starting up 2 promotions because it is seeming more obvious that it aint gonna happen. I think the WWF should pick say the 37 best wrestlers on their roster and cut everybody else loose. Save room for Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, possibly Goldberg down the line. Everyone else is expendable and not needed in the WWF. Let them go to MECW or wherever else they could find work. Yes, I am leaving people out like Scottie 2 Hottie and even Rikishi and the Big Slow

My 37 would:
1)Stone Cold
2)Rock
3)HHH
4)Chris Benoit
5)Chris Jericho
6)Undertaker
7)Kane
8)Kurt Angle
9)Rob Van Dam
10)Booker T
11)DDP
12 and 13)Hardy Boyz
14 and 15)Dudley Boyz
16)Edge
17)Christian
18 and 19)APA
20)Lance Storm
21)Spike Dudley
22)Tajiri
23)William Regal
24)Xpac
25)Tazz
26)Chuck Palumbo
27)Sean O'Haire
28)Shawn Stasiak
29)Mike Awesome
30)Eddie Guerrero
31)Kanyon
32)Billy Kidman
33)Test
34)Hurricane Helms
35)Jerry Lynn
36)Raven
37)Rhyno

I would love to see the wwf and wcw split up into 2 different shows. I hate not being able to see the up and coming wrestlers get their time in the spot light because people who are past their prime are fighting back stage to get or keep a title that they really don't need in order to be over with the fans. I mean, is it truly necessary for the rock to hold a title? Sure he is huge with the fans, and they expect him to hold it, but is it really necessary? Does he truly need it to be over with the fans? No he doesn't. Does a person like Booker T need that title to be over with the fans? For now yes he does. He is going to drop back into the mid-card shuffle and get lost now that he hasn't got the title. What about the Underbiker? Does he need a tag title (or 2 actually) in order for the fans to cheer him? No, but do palumbo and o'haire, who are busting their asses and showing the world what young talent can do? Yes i think they would be better served having the belts. Anyway, thats just my thought...

I second that. They have no clues as to what they are doing. Look at the DDP entrance to the WWF. It was built as some thing great. Many peopl were exicted and Peewws... Nothing.

i also liked when O'Haire came into WCW with Gindrack. i tihnk they made a better tag team therefor i say they should hold the tag title.

& Teen Week y spike Dudley???? if u want a cruiser weight i would say Ray Misterio or some 1 else who has vanished from wrestling since WCW went under.

The reason we are having 2 weeks of live Smackdowns is because the split was supposed to happen now, with WCW getting RAW and WWF getting Smackdown.

I'm against unifying the titles because it dilutes the whole invasion. The WCW doesn't have property to defend, like the WWF, that way.

And didn't they say on Summerslam the cage match was to unify the tag titles?
