Is John Morrison The New Marty Jannetty?

[JBK2008]

John Morrison I think will be a future champion. He just needs to work on his promo cutting skills and then you'll see him shine as brightly as Miz and then we can see these two former tag team partners go at it. I'm impressed with The Miz, as I also though Morrison would be the one to shine. His promos are great and his in ring ability has greatly improved, so him winning MITB last night was nicely deserved IMO. Miz has proved us all wrong and I think Morrison will show up at some point. To a degree, I think creative dropped the ball, but we'll see what the future holds. I wouldn't say Morrison is the next Jannetty.

Point blank Morrison is no where near jannety status and as for the Miz to quote him REALLY?REALLY? I get that he is a major heel and will most likely cheat to win but there is NO WAY it is believable that Miz can beat maineventers. Yea i get it for those who want to say he generates heat, he is a hard worker, he loves the business etc.... If u can sit here and honestly tell me the you could accept the Miz beating Randy Orton, Edge, Shemus, Cena, HHH, even Jericho then you are blind

Sorry but im not buying it WORLD CHAMPIONS are one of 3 things good charisma and the ability to put on great matches(not miz) see HHH,HBK, Bret Hart(at on point his charisma was prettyy good)Undertaker, CM Punk, Chris Jericho,Edge, Orton...... through the ceiling popular(not miz)see Austin, Rock, Hogan, Goldberg, you could throw Jeff Hardy into that circle during his last run in WWE...... or the look of a larger then life character(def not miz) see the large list Batista, Shemus, Kevin Nash, Big Show, Yokozuna, Brock Lesnar, Sid Vicious, Great Khali

All within its rights good charisma of there self/gimmick and great match performance translates to being a top notch wrestler, some that do that eventually get the backing of the fans and have through the roof popularity that is undeniable of a world title, then your big guys as champions are their because they are believable they are bigger, stronger, and more imposing then the rest of the challengers some have charisma(nash,sid) some but on great matches(Lesnar, yoko), Some are literally larger then life (khali,big show).

Sorry but Miz just doesnt fit into that picture and WWE putting him over as a heel and him cheating his was to a title is not going to be believable, guys that followed that road were more then proven when they started winning and keeping titles in this manor guys like Edge, HHH, Ric Flair, Hollywood hogan, Randy Orton

Can Morrison be saved from this?
Yes, Morrison can be saved since he is one of the best wrestlers we've seen since Shelton Benjamin,
Unfortunately,
He and Shelton are too much the same,
To remedy the situation,
He is going to HAVE to improve on him MIC skills,
Shelton didn't,
and we all know how that ended,
The crazy thing is he is only horrible on the Mic as a face,
When he was heel he was a total package,
MIC Skills + Wrestling skills,
He was all about the Palace of Wisdom,
& It was just great.
He's more deserving than the Miz,
Wrestling wise,
But Miz is more deserving MIC wise,
They each have what the other one needs,
That's why they were such a great tag-team

Is he more deserving than Miz to be in the position Miz is in right now?

 

[triple_b2k]

Morrison is my favourite wrestler right now! he has been for awhile. I'd hate for him to fall into the Jannetty Blackhole.
He hasn't been used well on Raw until recently with Ted. That's a pretty good feud I can see going on for quite awhile (p.s. how how is maryse? WOW). There's a lot of top guys right now so I can understand why Morrison can get lost in the shuffle but he's one of the future WWE stars.

 

[CorkscrewBackElbowDrop]

guys this is stupid, okay, i remember only 3 months ago that we were all saying how sad it is that evan bourne is a lost cause, now look, they put him in a position that morrison could of easily filled and now hes feuding with main event guys, all that matters is that morrison is liked by the company, and he was taking some Extremely hard bumps last night, Morrison can make anyone shine and i believe he'll get into the main event, but i agree with most people here, he needs to be on smackdown, bad, and he needs melina to be his valet, but in my opinion, no one in the wwe has shelton benjamin syndrome because shelton benjamin syndrome doesn't exist, shelton was released because they had no use for him at the time, and lets be honest, morrison isn't that less athletic than him and he has a hell of a lot better mic skills than him. all in all, nobody in the wwe is a lost cause, look at kane and evan bourne, people we thought not so long ago were screwed, so stop being speculative and moaning, and watch some damn wrestling

 

[sTyLnK]

With the exception of true main event wrestlers, everyone else is put through the ups and downs in the WWE. A teeter totter so to speak. Almost everyone gets some sort of push and then loses it. Bourne is getting his and we all know it won't last. Who will be be next? Why it's Kane. I wish people would understand this.

Look we all know the one thing the WWE doesn't do well is capitalize on some true talent, but it's as if everyone is surprised by this. For the most part everyone in the company will get a push somewhere down the road. Just watch it and enjoy it. Yeesh.

 

[Poop Master Flex]

If you had to choose one over the other I would say yes, John Morrison is the new Mary Janetty but at in my own personal opinion, I think neither guy is the Marty Jannetty of the group. The thing with Janetty is after he split with Michaels, Janetty quickly fell into obscurity right after his feud with Michaels, basically after his time with the Rockers his career was pretty much finished, pretty much through bad decisions on his part.

John Morrison on the other hand still has a bright future ahead of him, he may not be at the same place the Miz is at this point, but that doesn't mean he won't get there in the future. He has alot more going for him than Janetty ever did, and he has done well for himself up to this point. If you think about it Morrison is close to the same spot Michaels was at when he first broke away from the Rockers and became HBK, it took him 4-5 years to become the top guy in the company and before that he hung around the mid-card for about 2-3 years after his breakup with Janetty, that's pretty much where Morrison is right now as the team has only been broken up for a little over a year.

The Miz has shot right up the ladder after his time with Morrison and he hasn't looked back. Not only that if you consider his breakup with morrison in comparison to Michaels breakup with Janetty, its clear that the Miz has done a lot more than Michaels ever did a year after his breakup with Janetty. So in a nutshell Morrison is around where Michaels was a year after their breakup, and the Miz is ahead of both after a year of being a singles competitor.

Although at this time it may look like Morrison is the Janetty, the real truth is neither one is the Janetty, this may be a rare case where BOTH guys are the Michaels of the group and neither is a Janetty.

I don't think so. He is way better than The Miz. Maybe he's not so good on mike(especially as face), but he is a full superstar. He is a great entertainer, he is a perfect in-ring worker and he has the look and the body of a huge superstar. He needs a world title around his waist and my hopes that JoMo is made for main-event picture will be listened by God. WWE must turn him heel and this will be more AWESOME than Mizery will ever be.

 

[Christian42]

yes and no... in the sense that he will be the less popular of the two yes... but to totally disappear like marty, no. JoMo has too much god given talent and I think Vince will want to keep him. He will stay relevant.

 

[enterkey]

but in my opinion, no one in the wwe has shelton benjamin syndrome because shelton benjamin syndrome doesn't exist, shelton was released because they had no use for him at the time, and lets be honest, morrison isn't that less athletic than him and he has a hell of a lot better mic skills than him. all in all, nobody in the wwe is a lost cause, look at kane and evan bourne, people we thought not so long ago were screwed, so stop being speculative and moaning, and watch some damn wrestling

Shelton Syndrome does in fact exist, if you look at how over Shelton was back in 2004, the fans voted for him over a long list of other competitors at Taboo Tuesday to take on and defeat Chris Jericho. After that he continually dropped the ball and couldn't handle a gimmick to save his life: his momma's boy gimmick flopped, nobody took him seriously when he dyed his hair gold and became the "gold standard", and when he wasn't taking massive spots in ladder matches, similar to how John was last night, or jumping into a super kick. John has the same problems as Shelton, both were at one time over with the crowd and faded into obscurity after time despite their many intercontinental and tag championships and their occasional world title shots. John may have a bit more charisma than Shelton but that's not much of an achievement as I don't remember the last time I heard a promo from John that didn't bore me to death or make me somehow take him even less seriously. Shelton and John have both also kept gimmicks long after they have become stale, I believe John's been the "shaman of sexy" for 3 years now and it has been stale since just after his feud with Punk while Shelton had his well... I guess it was just him being himself for 3-4 years after the World's Greatest Tag Team. Hopefully John will be able to prove himself and recover from the SS that he's been dealing with for years but if not I won't be surprised if he becomes future endeavored after a year or 2 of extreme obscurity.

I think that having both of them on the same show is doing absolutely nothing for John Morrison. It's obviously obvious that The Miz is getting the biggest push of his life, while John Morrison is suffering from one of his worse domnfalls of his 6 year WWE career. I see absolutely no reason why this is the case.

The Miz is given the United States Championship. He is given the Money in the Bank briefcase. He is guaranteed air time every single episode of Raw. He gets mic time on every episode of Raw.

John Morrison, on the other hand, was given a United States Championship shot... in a fatal-four way. He is in the Money in the Bank ladder match, involving 6 other men, besides The Miz. He is given little air time. He usually loses his matches. His mic time has been significantly cut down since his days on Smackdown.

At this point... John Morrison and The Miz's careers are complete opposites. The easiest way to begin to make these former tag team partners look more equal... ONE HAS TO CHANGE BRANDS. These 2 simply cannot be equals if they are on the same brand. One push will always be more significant than the other. If both are in the main event WWE Championship scene, only one can be champion or neither will be champion. There will be no both.

John Morrison is more talented than Marty Jannetty ever was. Also, no matter what type of push The Miz receives in the future... he will likely never be as big a star as Shawn Michaels. I'm not bashing anyone, because I like all 4 men... I'm just stating my opinions.

 

[Whole Fing Show]

I believe that right now, Miz is the better of the two, but i still believe that one day John Morrison will be a world champion. He might be falling down the pervevial "success ladder" but im sure he will find a way to work his way back up that ladder, rung after rung until he's at the top....higher then The Miz will ever be......

 

[a member of wwe universe]

I disagree. Morrison never stepped up. He is never going to break that glass ceiling just like matt hardy.

 

[cornucopia]

It seems that Morrison does share a few things with Janetty. Both athletic men are borrrrrrrrrring and nothing on the mic. I mean Morrison has no charisma at all. He doesn't make me smile or mark or even hate him. Its like I give him XPac heat.

But I don't consider him Janetty ala the Rockers because Miz is definatly no Shawn Michaels.

 

[Dagger Dias]

Morrison can be saved from this. He is certainly no Jannetty because that is just something Miz calls him to get heel heat. Thy would have he next huge star on their hands if they just pushed him better. Fans like him, he is great in the ring, mic skills can improve. What is stopping them? Drama caused by Melina? She is gone now. Morrison deserves better due to those being issues SHE caused, not him. He should have been the one in the place Miz is now in. I still think he will be a WWE or World Champion someday.

 

[hollowpoint]

I think John Morrison will be fine in the long run. To call him the next Janetty is a little off since he's had mutiple tag title runs and singles title runs. Morrison is good with the fans and his in ring work. It's a lock that the ish with Melina is a big part in why he hasn't gotten back on track. I don't think it was as much of what SHE did, but his willingness to support her. Even bringing her backstage for shows when it was clear that she wasn't invited or welcomed. He drew a line in the sand and jumped on the wrong side. He is without a doubt talented and will get back to being a contender for the WWE/WH Titles before too long. As long as he survives this storm he's in right now.

 

[IT Factor]

Until Morrison is able to do something to get noticed, he'll always be compared to Jannetty. His in-ring work is way better than Jannetty's ever was, but, The Miz was definetely the Michaels of their tag team. I am interested to see if Morrison will be able to succeed now that Melina is gone. She was holding him back and maybe now they'll use him effectively enough for him to advance to main event status. The first RAW in 2011 where it was The Miz vs. Morrison for the WWE title in a falls-count anywhere match showcased Morrison as a good fit for the main events. He just needs to be more creative on the mic and with his character. His ring work is already good enough to advance up.

 

[ChristopherKeepsItReal]

Well I watched WWE Superstars and he had a decent match with his fellow bury-buddy McIntyre, and JoMo actually won. It's good because it seems that Morrison isn't WWE's last priority.
