Christian or Morrison?

[timmy872]

What with the main event scene being stale right now, which of these two do you think deserves the push. But perhaps the more important question is who will get the push?

It's documented Vince is bitter with Christian for his turn to TNA, but in the past Vince has been able to put things like that behind him when he sees a good business prospect.

The Shaman of Sexy is starting to get over with the fans, but I saw another thread which was saying how when/if Jeff Hardy leaves, Morrison is top draw for top face along with The Undertaker I suppose. I personally don't think Morrison is ready, but perhaps he could shock us all?

What are you're thoughts?

 

[The Mark of Zur-En-Arrh]

Christian all the way. If he's really being held back for.... well, wanting to work somewhere where he isn't held back, then Vince should really put that kind of shit aside. I still can't believe they didn't trade him to SD or Raw in either of the drafts especially since he's clearly the top draw on ECW.

Not to mention the reaction he got at WM in MiTB (probably the loudest i cheered all night) as he approached the belt. There's also loads of opportunities for him to work with the top guys on SD! as well. He's obviously got history with Edge, the Hardy's and Jericho, but he could probably do some decent stuff with Taker as well.

I always loved Christian even when WWE pushed Edge and not him, following their team splitting, and i think he could do a lot more for the company than JoMo.
As i've said in the Ziggler/Morrison thread, JoMo needs to step it up. Doing the odd high risk move and having rock hard abs isn't going to elevate you to HBK/HHH/Taker status anytime soon.

Even if they didn't push Christian to be the champ, he can still do a LOT to help other guys who are on the rise. Notice that after his fued with Swagger that people are starting to cheer him now? I think Ziggler could do some decent work with Christian, or the Hart Dynasty or anyone.

I think that to raise new stars, someone like Christian would be a good stepping stone, much like they use Kane, Taker and HBK these days. If you can work a program with Christian and it gets over, then you move up to a program with Taker/HBK and if that works, then you can get tested in the ME scene. I'm not saying that Christian should suddenly become the resident jobber, but i think he can help the new guys out a lot.

 

[ErictheEnt]

I really like both of them.

Personally I'm more of a John Morrisson fan (have been for a couple of years now). I see a WORLD of potential with him but Christian's pretty talented too. I think they're both going to be main eventing before too much longer. I think it'll be a while before either wins the RAW or Smackdown belts, but I think you'll see both getting shots at them before too much longer.

 

[hitmanhart]

Both, but Christian deserves his shot at the main event scene. He's plugged away for years and has great mic skills to get it done. Plus, he's main evented and worked with some great talent over at TNA. Vince needs to keep personal issues aside and build up Christian... he could do tons of stuff on the Smackdown roster with Edge, Jericho, Mysterio, Ziggler, the Harts.. .list goes on and on.

I think Morrison has tremendous potential but I don't see any point in rushing him... give Christian his shot. Morrison, in time, will get his and then some.

 

[Kesteral]

Christian by far, as much as I love Morrison I can't help but feel bad for Christian. He left TNA for the WWE and he's stuck down in the C show when he deserves to be an upper mid carder at least. He's the total package, except unlike Lex he's actually the total package. He's a great wrestler, good talker, pyschologist, story teller. He's a veteran and he's honed his skills, he could add so much to RAW or Smackdown but he's being held down supposedly because Vince doesn't like him. Who knows how true that is but I do know that if he's ever going to leave ECW they need to bring in a face to replace him because he's the most over on the show.

 

[The Legendary 23]

Going to have to go with Christian. Although I like Morrison a lot and think that he is destined to the ME scene, I think Christian would be the choice right now. His veteran experience and his faithful fans could carry him seamlessly to the ME scene. It looks like Morrison is going to get the push though, he is right on the edge of the ME level, and there is plenty of room on Smackdown for such a spot.

 

[The Todd]

What with the main event scene being stale right now,

I wouldn't say it's stale. There's still plenty of money feuds that haven't happened yet. Cena/Taker, Cena/Orton (one with a proper ending), Cena/Punk, Punk/'Taker, Punk/Edge, Edge/Jericho, Jericho/Taker, Edge/HHH, Batista/Cena (proper feud), Orton/Edge. But that wasn't the point of the thread.

It's documented Vince is bitter with Christian for his turn to TNA, but in the past Vince has been able to put things like that behind him when he sees a good business prospect.[/quote[
Yeah Christian isn't a brilliant business prospect. He never drew in the past and he hasn't done anything good since his return. Where is the love for him coming from? It has nothing to do with Vince being bitter, you can return and force Vince to push you like Jericho did and like Jeff Hardy has done. Christian just hasn't done enough to warrant a proper world title push.

The Shaman of Sexy is starting to get over with the fans, but I saw another thread which was saying how when/if Jeff Hardy leaves, Morrison is top draw for top face along with The Undertaker I suppose. I personally don't think Morrison is ready, but perhaps he could shock us all?

His push is happening too quickly for me. I hate people begging for new superstars to be made straight away. They need to be built up slowly to get the full benefit. Morrison will be a world champion one day but it should not be within the next two years. He should be the upper mid card superstar who the fans love but he keeps coming up short with the big guns. His time will eventually come.

 

[sicmcnasti]

Where has it been documented that Vince doesn't like Christian aside from internet rumors?
Either way, I think Christian over all has the better and more developed talent and mic skills. He works well and I'd say if it weren't for Christian (and granted, a great match with John Cena), Jack Swagger wouldn't have had that appeal that he does as a heel - I say this because his feud with Matt Hardy bored me and was forgettable.

The thing that holds Christian back now is him being on ECW. He's great on there, don't get me wrong but a move to Smackdown, especially with Edge injured and Hardy on his way out, would do WWE great. I think Tommy Dreamer can hold down the fort for now...

 

[HHH=The Peoples King]

EASY
John Morrison
He started off as Johnny Nitro, Eric Bishoffs coffee runner lol
but not many talented people in WWE get a second chance at a new gimmick, im NOT saying Christian doesnt deserve it, I love him at mid-card, but I just dont see him with the WWE/WHC anytime soon
John Morrison is next Shawn Michaels, cause he has it all, the Talent, the Mic work, the Walk and the Look, somthing people said about Chris Jericho when he debuted in WWE/F , but he didnt do that, and I dont think Morrison will drop that, NOT the Jericho was great, he was just better and took off a diffrent way than we all had thought

 

[hatehabsforever]

John Morrison by a mile. Don't get me wrong, I personally am a big fan of Christian, but he isn't getting a main event push (other than ECW) any time soon. If you are expecting him to become WWE or WHC champion any time soon (if ever), you're dreaming.

Christian is too small to be WWE champion or heavyweight champion. Vince has always favoured the big guys for the big titles (HHH, Orton, Cena, Batista even Khali, etc.,). Look how over Jeff Hardy is but look how short his title run(s) were. If Hardy were physically bigger, there'd be no contract dispute with him, he'd be re-signed long ago and would be wearing the gold right now. Look how short Punk's first run was, and this run will be equally short IMO. Sure Christian is a pretty good wrestler and he's gold on the mic, but his lack of size and his defection to TNA will ultimately keep him out of the successful side of a main-event run.

I can never understand it when people complain about the WWE and say it's stale, but whenever there's talk of bringing someone new up, he's "not ready." What does that mean, "not ready?" Morrison has been around for a while. He's been a tag team competitor as well as a singles guy. He's been heel and face. He's been accompanied by a diva for a while, and alone for a while. He's got the look, the attitude, the wrestling skills, the mic skills, how is he "not ready?" What else does he have to do to get ready? He's paid his dues, he's over with the fans, and he has the size/physique that Vince wants in a major title holder.

I see a main event push for him and soon. On Smackdown, as a face champion (although I prefer him as a heel), especially when there is a heel champ on Raw. He will be WHC by WM26 for sure, if not earlier (likely winning the title at WM26). He's ready, make no mistake about it. A feud with HBK late this year or early next and he's ready for the big time.

 

[BigRedPunk]

To me they are both entertaining to watch. I really enjoyed Christian's match against William Regal last night on WWE Superstars. John Morrison has very exciting matches aswell. His match against Kane last night was a very good match aswell. So right now their about even but if I had to choose one or the other it would be John Morrison.

 

[Slyfox696]

First of all, Vince doesn't have a grudge and hold Christian out of the main-event because he went to TNA. Wherever people got that idea, I don't know. Vince was keeping Christian out of the main-event before he went to TNA. The reason? Can't say. But, Christian isn't being held back because he went to TNA, he was being kept out of the main-event before he left.

Second of all, I think Christian is more worthy of a main-event push, but I think John Morrison is the better candidate. Christian is the better worker and the better on the stick, but he's also 6 years old than Morrison, and not nearly as attractive physically. I think Morrison's potential is greater than Christian's, and in the end, he could be the better worker. He's got a ways to go still, but I think Morrison is the better candidate.

 

[scott hammer cena]

personally i would have liked 2 see christian head 2 sd or raw in the draft or trade for example a wm 25 he got a reception like the wwe champion he is head and shoulders above the rest with dreamer second but the fact that vince holds a grudge and lives for the monayyyyyyyyy

christian will never have an outstanding wwe carear


morrison will soon get his opportunity as he always only turned face because of the lengthly injury 2 the undetaker but the universe have really taken 2 him which wil excel him 4 a wonderful wwe carear and become a world champ 1 day

 

[Dr. Stinger A. Zoidberg]

I cant choose, they are both EXTREMELY talented and I see both of them getting a Main Event run in the forseeable future.

Christian- He went to TNA, so what? TNA isnt competition and it barely gets past the ratings of ECW. Christian can flat out wrestle, a great technical wrestler. Lets not forget that he can cut great promos. He is called Captain Charisma for a reason. Also, he can work with anybody and turn it into a good feud. Just look at the Christian/Jericho Intercontinental Title feud back in 2004.

Morrison- He is also one to wrestle well. He is a great high flyer and can be powerful when he needs to be. He can wrestle in any kind of match, and even when he was Johnny Nitro, he was a great superstar. He can also talk very well, and can carry a match.

 

[TwistofRKO]

John Morrison- He simply has the better look. There's nothing wrong with Christian, I guess, minus the fact he can't main event. He gets much too much hype on this site for a small body (of work). Morrison is fresh, takes bumps, and gets the crowd into it. Christian has the fans into it in his entrance and then we see the same moves in the exact same order.

I don't hate Christian, but I don't see the fuss about him. I'll go with Morrison.

I agree about Morrison, but as for Jericho lets be honest Triple H held him down for a long time, do you think had HHH not gotten injured in 2001, does anyone seriously think Jericho would of been in the Undisputed title picture? hell no, 3 months pervious he was on a PPV wrestling Rob Van Dam for the Hardcore title, and jobbed to him (no shame in that) but Jericho isn't cut out as a world champion, tho when he gets the belt he makes a good champion, and a believable heel (more so in 2008) but Jericho is IC Title materiel the fact he's an 8 or 9 time champion speaks volumes.

 

[Hardy's and MCMG fan]

To be honest I like both Christian and John Morrison.

I have been a fan of Christian ever since He was with Edge in The Brood. I have followed him since then throughout his WWE and TNA career. I think edge is a brilliant wrestler and entertainer. He has charisma, charm, ability and mic skills that a WWE superstar needs nowadays. I personally think his best era was the TLC matches between Edge & Christian and the Hardy Boyz also his years in TNA were amazing.


John Morrison I think is brilliant. He has been referred to as "The young Shawn Michaels" and i can totally agree with that. His in ring abilities are phenomenal.He ,along with Christian, is a great technical wrestler. I think the Face turn will pump Morrison up to be a Main event competitor.

I'm gonna say they are both brilliant in ring competitors and I enjoy all the Promos both have done. Well done both of them

 

[Jonnie Walker]

Morrison.Why?Because he has more of a World Champion look to him.Morrison has some great moves in his moveset,and I think he's great on the mic.I like the knee that he does when the guy is sitting down.Don't get me wrong,I think Christian is one of the best things in WWE,but Morrison is better.Christian gets an amazing reaction from the crowd,and that's something Morrison needs to work on.I think they both should get pushes,but if I had to choose I gotta go with Morrison.

 

[hitmanhart]

To answer the actual QUESTION, Christian DESERVES to be pushed. Morrison is good and will get his shot in time, but Christian deserves to get pushed- he's done everything you could possibly ask him to do... put his body on the line in TLC matches, been successful tag, european champions (champion of euro), done excellent in TNA, gone to a C show in ECW, and now deserves his shot. Things are going good right now for Morrison. I think you push Christian now to elevate him, and then have Morrison get pushed at Mania by winning Money in the bank! Then you have 2 elevated stars.

 

[Sasori]

Who deserves it the most: Christian! This guy always works his ass off and he could do wonders for ratings! He is more talented than over 90% of the roster in the ring, and is widely considered the best all around wrestler today! He IMO is the best mic worker who ever lived (second to Jericho, no shame in that.) The man is getting old and he needs his big push in the WWE 'coz he's only got another good 5-9 years left in him approxometly.

Who more likely will main event:JoMo! He's young, fresh, and talented. All the characteristics Christian had a few years ago, and still has 2 of 'em xD. I say Morrison will main event faster. He is getting the bigger push and is probably gonna start his main event run in the next couple of months, where as Christian will stay in the upper mid card, and main event in ECW.

Personally I'm a fan of both guys (especially Christian #1 PEEP WOOT!)

 

[scott hammer cena]

but Christian deserves to get pushed- he's done everything you could possibly ask him to do.... and then have Morrison get pushed at Mania by winning Money in the bank!

i agree with this ,, especially with morrison seen as at wm25 his match alongside miz vs colons wasnt live on tv it was a pre match up
so at mania christian and morrison deserves a title n money in the bank shot

 

[jeffhardyfan22]

Christian.....Morrison is amazing but Christian has been around a lot longer and has more experience.

To the person who said Jack Swagger.....I don't even know what to say. The guy sucks. He has no visible talent, no charisma. He dosn't even really have the wrestler look. To say that he is better than Christian and Morrison is rediculous. Absolutely rediculous and false.

 

["Cool Guy" Jensen]

To answer who I would like to see pushed, I'd say Christian. To say who I see getting the push first, I'd say John Morrison. To answer who I say deserves the push more, I'd say Christian.

I'm not only saying that Christian deserves the push more than Morrison because I'm more of a fan. I'm saying that because I really think he does. I mean, Christian has been in the WWE since 1998 and hasn't really had remotely even close to the type of push that it seems John Morrison is now. Sure, he's won championships, but so has Morrison. When Christian left the WWE in 2005, it was because he felt that he wasn't getting the push that he felt he deserved, Christian is still not really getting that main event push he's been aiming for. Main eventing ECW doesn't automatically mean that you could main-event Raw or Smackdown, so it seems that Christian still has a way to go, but I think he can do it.

 

[DaxGaidan]

Ok mr Jack Swagger fan...I'll bet you anything Jack Swagger will either go into lowcard feuds or be released with in a year. Call my bluff I dare you.

idk Jack Swage ris better than both. I see christian getting released and going back to tna and john morrison getting jobbed to tyler reks. Jack Swagger will win a Heavyweight title first before Christian or John Morrison. I guarantee it.

 

[jeffhardyfan22]

The ECW title is the closest Swagger will ever get. Christian will soon be moved into the main event and I see Morrison winning the WHT in the very near future. Christian will not be released. Swagger comes out looking like a damn gorilla for his entrance and then does 3 suplexes and kisses his oppenent before boring the hell out of the audiance. He's gone within a year.
