Sheamus got me thinking about something last night on Raw. After Morrison defeated Daniel Bryan, King Sheamus came out to cut his Royal Rumble hype promo. He said Morrison "was drowning in a pool of mediocrity" before their feud began. Sheamus also said he "forced Morrison to take his game to another level." Sheamus starts tearing into Morrison at 3:32.
Morrison has received his fair share of nice pushes in the past, but he really took off when the feud with Sheamus began. We were all wowed by the very entertaining Falls Count Anywhere match a while back on Raw, but the excitement didn't end with that much. Sheamus and Morrison would go on to produce a series of outstanding wrestling matches. Yeah, Sheamus eventually became The King by winning the King Of The Ring tournament, but Morrison received a shot at the WWE Championship by winning another stellar match with Sheamus at TLC.
As far as Sheamus goes, he has been riding a HUGE push since the end of 2009. He's enjoyed another WWE Championship reign, he's feuded with John Cena and Randy Orton, and he put Triple H on the shelf with a viscous attack at last year's Extreme Rules pay per view. Sheamus' momentum swing hasn't slowed down at all.
As far as Morrison goes, I don't think mentoring Eli Cottonwood on NXT could be considered as that big of a deal. He was in the Nexus VS Team WWE match at Summerslam, but none of these things can compare to what Sheamus has done. Although, when Morrison crossed paths with The Celtic Warrior, he began to sky rocket into the spotlight. I do think feuding with Sheamus helped Morrison out a lot, because let's face it, he really wasn't going anywhere before he locked up with Sheamus.
What do you think? Did feuding with Sheamus save Morrison?
