Rumer has it that Jesse Pinkman wiil show up on "Fear the walking dead". "Preacher" has already showed it is part of the same universe as "Breaking bad". How? you may ask. In these shows no specific year is mention. The events on BB and preacher occured before TWD.

Laura forced Eugene to get a haircut after all.

That would be cool. Are Walt and Saul going to be with him? I guess this means Eugene from Preacher will be brought back to Earth as a guy with a mullet who claims to work for the Human Genome Project. Will we see Jesse and his entourage teaming up with Sunny and the Widow to survive the zombie apocalypse? Or Cullen Bohannan and Doc Durant killing walkers side-by-side with Travis and Madison? If all the AMC shows shared a common universe we could have some crazy character mashups.

Cullen Bohannan and Doc Durant are in the 1800's. UInless AMC comes up with a time travel show they cannot be in a present day show. This is a serious topic.

And Sunny and the Widow are from the future. Or should I say, one possible future ...
Not all AMC shows are compatible with each other. So what? It's still fun to imagine what crossovers might be like. Could Jesse Custer use the voice of Genesis to order a herd of walkers to turn around, or would their lack of comprehension make it powerless? What about the synthetics from Humans, would they be affected? And how about a zombie apocalypse in synth world? That would be kinda interesting. What happens when a walker bites a vampire - or vice versa? Why not time travel then? Maybe the cult of the black eyed telekinetics from Into the Badlands can learn to jump around in time. All that stuff is just a bizarre side effect of the zombie infection that toppled civilization and then burned out centuries before.
You could always come up with some crazy set of ideas to combine all the storylines. Make a movie or a six-episode limited series just for the hell of it, combining elements from every original AMC show past and present. And future ....? Okay, maybe not. But I don't have to be serious on this thread and dammit, you can't make me!

It is serious because Preacher already show they are in the same universe as BB and the rumers are out there that Jesse will be on FTWD, as jesse Pinkman. So if AMC is srious about it..I think its a great idea.

You're confusing easter eggs and knowing nods, from people who worked on both shows, with confirmation of a shared universe and ignoring the fact that the location that is shown in both BB and Preacher are in 2 different States in their respective shows which kind of throws a spanner in the works in regards to the shared universe theory.
It would be cool, there's already been a theory since TWD season 1 that BB and TWD are linked and even that Walter's meth caused the outbreak, as we saw Mearl with a bag of blue pills. But until it's officially confirmed then it's simply a fan theory and nothing more.
