Television has had crossover events for years, but I never expected one involving such polar opposites. The View's Sherri Shepherd will be appearing on next week's WWE Smackdown in the corner of wrestler MVP.I envision the following scenario: when she appears at the event, she will try to get between the wrestlers and get them to discuss their differences. When they stop fighting and reconcile their misunderstanding with each other, she will grab a steel chair from the side of the ring and clock MVP (or his opponent) upside the head.
Actually, that's more of an Oprah scenario, and Oprah doesn't need either the money or the ratings of a WWE appearance. Maybe Shepherd is a wrestling fan.
I cannot imagine two shows that are as different as WWE and The View. Totally different concepts. Totally different audiences. Do you think this news will get more women to watch WWE or more men to watch The View?

Sherrie probably wants to sleep with MVP. (I don't blame her, he is mad sexy)

The "crossover" (if that's what you want to call it) is happening because one of the WWE's hosts told MVP, during a pre-match locker room interview, that Sherri might have a thing for him. Subsequently, Sherri talked about the shout-out on The View and how she'd LOVE to meet MVP. Voila.

He's fighting some bleach blonde dude named Dolph Ziggler for the US Title. I don't think your scenario is too far off and Shepard might hit Ziggler with a chair to give MVP the win. Better than the Trump crossover from two years ago, and thank goodness they're staying away from any Barbara Walters/Vince McMahon relationship
