Occasional Pre-Show

What push? Going from starring in the Elimination Chamber to being in a multi-person match with Snooki? It doesn't get any lower.
I will predict it now. I hope I am wrong, but I believe that John Morrison will never win a major title. But I don't believe it is because of his behaviour, his stickwork or lack thereof, or anything about his character. He won't get pushed because Vince simply doesn't rate him.
It was the same story with Shelton Benjamin and Christian. Both were good workers, and got the crowd into their matches, but because Vince McMahon can't see them as champion, they won't be. It's the same with Morrison.
You see, to make it in WWE, you either have to be over six-feet five inches tall, or be able to talk or look a particular way, or be a suck and play politics. If you look at every champion over the years, they all fit into one of those catergories. It has nothing to do with ringwork, or who the fans get behind, or else Daniel Bryan would be main-eventing. It has nothing to do with the fans being behind someone, because John Cena is horribly booed, and yet he is the most pushed guy in the company.
In regards to the issue, I agree that Morrison and Melina should have been more mature about the Trish situation. If anything, they should have been more pissed off that Snooki was in the match. I am someone who doesn't think that celebrities should do matches at WM, as many others work hard to earn a spot, and then don't.
But Melina isn't the only person who this has happened to. For two years straight, Mickie James was reduced to being a Lumberjill, (even though she had carried the diva's division) so that WM could host a champion v Playboy bunny match.
Morrison should see if TNA are interested. I know they are a crap company, but look at what they did with Christian, putting the title on him three times (WWE would never give it to him once), so maybe Morrison may get more love elsewhere. The fact is, Morrison isn't "Vince's boy", so he hasn;t got a chance, no matter what he says or does.
I think you really hit the nail on the head. It's sad, because I think Morrison really could hold his own as Heavyweight or World Champ. People keep ripping on him that he doesn't have any charisma or his mic work is sub-par. I think he does have a decent charisma and the big part of his mic work is that creative keeps writing the same way for everyone. Everybody "sounds" exactly the same unless you're someone like Trips, Taker, Kane, Edge. Someone that's been with the company for 10+ years.
