**Merged** All John Morrison Discussion

[Hollywood Naitch]

Nah, I can't see John Morrison appearing on the Future Endeavours list any time soon, as least not IRL. The rumours are that the WWE may be putting together a team for Survivor Series with all the anti WWE "fired" guys like Miz, R-Truth and Kevin Nash and if they wanted to turn Morrison heel, then "future-endeavouring" him may be a good way to do it and have him join the team.

However, the WWE won't release him from his contract any time soon. He is still a vat of untapped potential and has the look and in-ring ability of a champion. If J-Mo could just find the key to unlock his talent then he could be something special. WWE won't want to get rid of him and see him end up in TNA, he's too good for that and SHOULD be one of the guys the company looks to as a main event talent in the near future.

IF he can step up to the next level.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Now concerning the tweets, that definitely does look more like a work than anything else. If it isn't, then JoMo would be a lot more stupid than I thought he is (though he has made some less-than-intelligent comments in the past, see Wrestlemania).

As for him getting fired: I don't think so. Because despite him being on a losing streak lately, did you guys notice that he's still getting huge pops when he comes out?! Of course he's mostly over with the crowd that John Cena is over because of his looks and his athleticism, and not really over with the male demographic - but that's mostly because he hasn't been in ANY worthwhile program with ANYONE in a long time. His feud with R-Truth fell flat because he got injured and Truth managed to get some good attention on himself with his conspiracy angle in the meantime, and ever since that, he's just been "around".

Ok, the Del Rio squash was uncalled for, but WWE needed something to make Del Rio look strong again after losing to Cena, so JoMo was a welcome option since him losing wouldn't cause any "push" to falter - since there is no push for him right now. But his loss to Mark Henry I didn't mind. For one, Henry is World champ - and the champs RARELY lose their matches. Besides, Henry is being built as a monster, so losing to ANYONE outside the immediate world title contenders is completely out of the question. But I felt that actually, JoMo got a good showing in this match, he managed to take Henry down several times (which even Randy Orton was having problems with), and he even hit his finisher - which makes him seem pretty tough in my book, if you can actually do that to the world champ, especially if the champ is Mark Henry. So Henry kicked out of Starship Pain, but Henry also kicked out of the RKO - not a big deal for JoMo, I'd say. All in all a clear loss, but not a bad showing. But I digress.

I will agree though, he still needs work in the promo department, especially as a face - but if you have no sensible program to work with anyone, how are ANY of your promos supposed to matter? Besides, I can't remember JoMo doing a promo in MONTHS (which isn't inherently a bad thing, considering his aformentioned need for improvement in that respect), so how is anyone supposed to care for him, other than the kid-demographic who still enjoys him in the ring because of the spots he can do?

Right now, the whole picture is filled with the conspiracy angle, and JoMo has no place there since he'd get overshadowed by several guys who are a lot better at promos than him (led of course by HHH, Punk and Cena), so he'd lose in such a situation anyway. But one or two decent mid-card feuds, against opponents like Cody Rhodes (since Cody is really building up credibility for himself and the IC belt fast these days) or Sheamus (if JoMo goes heel) could be fun, since those guys can hold their own on the mic and could probably bring out some good stuff in JoMo as well.

But even as basically a fan of JoMo I have to admit that he's nowhere near ready for the top tier picture. They were testing the waters a little early this year, but then JoMo made his Wrestlemania comments, and got put on the backburner... and ever since, there was no reason for WWE to push him again, since other people got their chances and have stepped up (CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Sheamus). But I still think there's potential for JoMo, but he either needs a REALLY REALLY good feud with a REALLY REALLY good heel to get him over even more as a face (Christian, anyone?), or WWE needs to turn him MAJOR heel, where he probably can do a lot better stuff on the mic, since getting over as heel is always easier than as a face. It almost never works, pushing someone as a face straight away if they haven't had a good heel run before that - see Rocky Maivia. And JoMo's heel runs weren't that great yet either - MNM never really mattered, but in general he was a bit better as a heel I'd say.

As of right now, JoMo is a glorified jobber; but people still like him, and I hope they find a decent program with him soon. Why not pair him with Alex Riley (who's also been doing NOTHING lately), and put them into the Tag Title picture as well, since WWE's trying to push that division anyway? That way they could have two good face teams with Air Boom, A-Ry and JoMo on the one side, and two good heel teams with ZigSwag and Awesome Truth on the other side. All pretty good midcard guys who can put on good matches, and I assume that would spice up the tag title scene quite a bit. Just a thought anyway.

But I don't think JoMo will be fired anytime soon; at least I hope he isn't - there's definitely other talent on the roster who I'd rather cut before I cut JoMo.

 

[Dagger Dias]

Morrison will probably not get released anytime soon due to his popularity with fans but he has never seemed to be able to get over where it matters more, with the people who book results. Posting things like the one in the article in the opening post will only further de-push him. The drama with Melina earlier this year was bad enough, but posting complains online will not do you any favors. This could just be him in character, but I don't see anything good onscreen coming from this. I want Morrison to succeed and win a world title or two, but causing more drama is not the way to go about it. I doubt he will be future endeavoured but this may cause him to be stuck where he is for a significantly longer time and that really sucks.

 

[xoxo French Kiss xoxo]

In 7 more years maybe Morrison can get a Christian like push as a heel to the WHC, but I doubt he'll be 1/8th as good as Christian has been this year at any point in his career.

If Morrison was released this Friday, I wouldn't care, and none of you should either. He's been shit since they broke him apart from the Miz and he will continue to be shit because he doesn't have any real talent.

Morrison is a middle card spot monkey and thats all he'll ever be.

 

[IT Factor]

John Morrison is a talented in-ring competitor. His matches are always innovative and entertaining. It's just a shame that his mic work and character haven't really evolved to the point of making him a main event calibur guy. He's still wearing the Melina-esque attire and retained the same basic look too long. Even back at the beginning of 2011 when they had the Miz vs. Morrison WWE title match, Morrison was beginning to impress me some. Although The Miz carried the mic part, their matches were great. And at least in that feud, Morrison had history to work with in his promos to get him over. The problem is that he's been in WWE quite awhile now and hasn't improved enough to warrant becoming a consistent main eventer.

WWE will always need someone at a mid-card level to keep putting advancing guys over. If Morrison cannot improve his character, he'll sadly be that guy who is elevating others and not moving up himself.

Monday was WWE Superstar John Morrison's birthday where he had another loss on RAW to Mark Henry. Morrison then went on Twitter and let some feelings out via @TheRealMorrison

"Thoughts I had tonight during RAW tonight in Lafayette…Damn, I just got my ass kicked…

…I wonder if John Laurintis’s current promo work is any indication of his aptitude as a wrestler during past in ring endeavors…

...HHH says we work for the WWE universe. Hmmm, yup, I agree with that… I wonder if he’s going to mention my birthday… nope.

…If the WWE universe is paying our checks maybe the pay scale among us independent contractors should be a bit more evenly distributed…maybe forming a union is a good idea… all other entertainment and sporting entities have them…getting an individual health insurance policy after neck surgery is not easy...I wonder if HHH has an individual health insurance plan, or gets group coverage because he’s classified as an employee…

...Wait a minute, when did we nominate @wadebarrett to speak on our behalf? … haha, Barrett talks like a pirate…
I like chaos! If they all leave & I stay, maybe HHH & I could do 5 backstage segments, an in ring promo, and an hour match next week! who am I kidding, HHH is a narcissist. He doesn't think I'm at his level- His main concern is positioning himself as the center of attention …maybe walking out will get HHH to realize he can’t do this alone, the WWE Universe wants to see different people in the mix…there's a roster full of superstars that want chaos, that want the ball, that want to be on the road at every WWE event...

…the past is always afraid of the future… HHH’s ego is hungry. He’s got a steak dinner every Monday night- but if he thinks his ego’s gonna snack elsewhere; I’m gonna eat his lunch!"

I love how he comments on Barrett sounding like a Pirate, when Barrett showed more talent on the mic in that one promo than Morrison has in his entire WWE career. The WWE needs to come to terms and release Morrison and use the time they waste trying to force him upon us on someone more interesting and well rounded

 

[Isaac Kaye]

It looks like they have totally run out of ideas for Morrison, and they are using his popularity to job him to the stars at the moment. Problem is, they are jobbing him out so hard that he's on the way to losing most of his credibility. They aren't alluding to his losses, and they have randomly inserted him into the last two PPV's at the very last minute to fight for midcard titles which further demonstrates they haven't got him booked for anything. The way he lost to Rhodes at HIAC made him look like a complete chump as well.

They need to go back to the drawing board with Morrison. Sadly, there tons of guys even at midcard level who are much better in my opinion. He's miles away from the main event now. I don't see him getting released anytime soon, but WWE are likely to job him out for a while longer yet.

 

[Dusty Roids]

Morrison should be used like a modern day Barry Horrowitz. A decent to good wrestler making other guys look good and putting them over. I was never impressed by John Morrison, he can have any gimmick or do all kinds of spots, he is a decent wrestler and has almost zero charisma. So he is fine in midcard land.

 

[Radioactive]

I don't really think he'll be a good WWE champion or something like that, but I also don't think they will release him for a while. He's really good in matches that require what he's good at (look back at Elimination Chamber for example). I can also see him in a possible tag-team soon.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

As soon as he learns how to cut a promo, he'll get the belt. If he never does, he'll never get the title. Simple as that.

Punk went from Nexus to main eventer thanks to a promo. Cena has had his spot for years because he can always be relied on for a really good promo. Morrison is one step away from greatness, it'll be a shame if he never reaches the pinnacle.

 

[GI Cake]

John Morrison is a unique talent, he is among one of the best High-Fliers in the business today. In my opinion, his ring work is second to none to AJ Styles. It is new, unique, flashy, and very entertaining. His ring work is very underrated by people, he can put on a very high quality show and can tell a great story in the ring when he is with another talented wrestler. Take for instance his short stint feuding with Sheamus, that was some of the best wrestling we have seen in years. In the end, both men came out with a ton of momentum and John Morrison having a WWE Title shot against The Miz. However the WWE didn't take advantage of the rub Sheamus gave to Morrison and now he is back to jobbing to the stars.

But at the same time, Morrison mic-work is very weak. His mic-work is more of passive, he doesn't really grab peoples attention when he gets on the mic. However he does a good job in letting other people speak. Take for instance when he was teaming with The Miz, Miz did the majority of the talking and Morrison just plugged a few, well timed chimes and those promos were golden. Now to be a part of the Main-event you need to be able to grab the audience, make them want to see you in a match. Morrison can not do that with his mic-work.

And let's not get into his back-stage beefs. The man has done nothing but slow his career down with needless drama in the backstage. John hasn't done enough in the WWE where he can walk around giving Diva's like Trish Stratus the cold shoulder, because she "Took" Melina's spot in the match at Wrestlemania. Speaking of Melina, the girl was the anchor to Morrison's career. She cheats on Morrison with Main-Event star, Batista. Calls Batista out on it, but doesn't do a thing about it. But quite frankly, not many people want to fight Batista in the first place. When I heard Melina was released by the WWE, I hoped that meant Morrison moved on and the WWE had big plans for him because they got rid of his bad habit well, like a bad habit. But that has not come to pass.

Will the WWE release Morrison? Of course not, he may not be a main-event star but he is not someone the WWE can shove under the rug like Joey Mercury or any Diva on the roster. If they were planning to release him, they would have to bury him to the point of no return, like losing to Santino clean for example. But beside that, Morrison can put on great matches and can help get heels over in the WWE. He is too good at his job to be fired but can't keep his personal life out of the way to elevate to the next level.


Although Morrison has a very valid point about a union for the WWE Superstars. All Professional sport programs have one to make sure that the employees get proper health insurance from their employers. John Morrison just recovered from neck surgery, restructuring your health insurance after surgery is really tough. I am still uninsured after my knee surgery 2 years ago, so I can understand where Morrison is coming from in this.

I am still uninsured after my knee surgery 2 years ago, so I can understand where Morrison is coming from in this.

1) I don't watch TNA and haven't since Hogan arrived but I do know that AJ Styles is a great in ring wrestler and can do amazing things in the ring, like tell a story. To compare Styles to Morrison is a slap in the face to Styles, Morrison is flaming garbage in the ring in comparison. But I will say they are both equally as horrible on the mic (at least the last time I heard Styles on the mic he was still horrible.

2) the WWE didn't drop the ball on Morrison vs Miz, they tested the waters to see how it would go, and as with everything that involves Morrison its failed, because he is the core problem of his problems.

3) His feud with Sheamus, Sheamus is leaps and bounds ahead of Morrison in every department when it comes to being a pro wrestlers. Sheamus is better in ring, on the mic, and better looking, period.

4) Melina is a **** (imagine a diva being a **** in the WWE, (THATS UNHEARD OF) She picked the biggest D-bags of the D-bags to get down with, and Morrison being a complete pussy didn't bother to step up to the plate and find resolution. Matt Hardy feuded with Edge because of Edge and Lita's backstage antics. A similar program could have developed between Batista/Morrison/Melina but I'm guessing some ones vagina was too sore, and not Melina's from the pounding, Morrison's from being a pussy.

5) Morrison has been being booked with the short end of the stick for months, last minute additions to PPV's, losing to every major heel in the company, sucking complete ball sakcs at every live event, yeah Morrison isn't being swept under the rug, he's being buried.

6) Union? ha yeah okay, I work in the UAW and it does nothing for me but take money out of my check once a month to line its pockets further. WWE Superstars make 80k-100k+ a year on average as a base pay.(UAW is only pulling 30k-50k) I'm sure Morrison and many other superstars could afford insurance on that pay scale. Thats BASE pay not including merch sales and PPV pay offs. Morrison has been tossed on to so many PPV's last minute that he should have a surplus of cash to afford his medical bills. Melina's probably fucking someone in LA, so she could probably get a pay off to pay his medical bills. I bet Batista would set them up if she did him right.

7) REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[GI Cake]

1) I don't watch TNA

Then why are you commenting on something you don't know about?

and haven't since Hogan arrived but I do know that AJ Styles is a great in ring wrestler and can do amazing things in the ring, like tell a story. To compare Styles to Morrison is a slap in the face to Styles,

Why is that? They both have a rather large array of high flying spots in their move-set and are both hindered by their inability to draw and mic skills. That is a pretty safe comparison to make without insulting on or the other.

Morrison is flaming garbage in the ring in comparison. But I will say they are both equally as horrible on the mic (at least the last time I heard Styles on the mic he was still horrible.

Can you name one bad Morrison match? Every match he has been in has been gold. His match with Mark Henry last Monday showed emotion and story telling. When Morrison unleashed those knees on Henry as a last resort attack to try to beat him it felt real, and entertaining at that.

2) the WWE didn't drop the ball on Morrison vs Miz, they tested the waters to see how it would go, and as with everything that involves Morrison its failed, because he is the core problem of his problems.

Morrison versus Miz for the WWE title had one segment and a couple matches with Jobber Riley, not the Riley we know now. The one that lost to just about anybody. After Morrison lost to Miz on RAW, Morrison once again went back to tredding the Mid-Card.

3) His feud with Sheamus, Sheamus is leaps and bounds ahead of Morrison in every department when it comes to being a pro wrestlers. Sheamus is better in ring, on the mic, and better looking, period.

You seem to miss the point of my entire post about how great that feud was because they both did there part in the program. Both did an amazing job making the other look good, it had a good story behind it and pulled Morrison into the Main-Event for a little bit. Sheamus gave Morrison a great rub, which WWE booking failed to take the reigns of because they wanted Miz vs Cena at Wrestlemania.

4) Melina is a **** (imagine a diva being a **** in the WWE, (THATS UNHEARD OF) She picked the biggest D-bags of the D-bags to get down with, and Morrison being a complete pussy didn't bother to step up to the plate and find resolution.

I stated that Melina was one of the roots of John Morrisons back stage problems. If it wasn't for Melina, John would have gotten along just fine with fellow Superstars like Batista and Trish Stratus. I was not defending Melina or John Morrison for their questionable behavior in the locker room. So this point is pretty much redundant.

Matt Hardy feuded with Edge because of Edge and Lita's backstage antics. A similar program could have developed between Batista/Morrison/Melina but I'm guessing some ones vagina was too sore, and not Melina's from the pounding, Morrison's from being a pussy.

I am going to look past the childish insults here to give you a real answer here. The reason why a program between Morrison/Batista/Melina because Batista was on his way to the top of the Main-event as the animal. A monster squashing everyone in his way. There would have been no need for a feud with Morrison over a love angle. The reason why the Edge/Lita/Hardy feud worked so well was because Matt Hardy aired his dirty laundry on the internet. And because of that, he was fired from the WWE. With the WWE universe in uproar about Hardy's release, Vince hired him back. It would have only made sense he would be brought back by feuding with Edge. Edge was the Rated R Superstar, his gimmick is founded on being controversial.

5) Morrison has been being booked with the short end of the stick for months, last minute additions to PPV's, losing to every major heel in the company, sucking complete ball sakcs at every live event, yeah Morrison isn't being swept under the rug, he's being buried.

Morrison before he hurt his neck was on his way with feuding with R-Truth. When he had to recover from his neck surgery it helped elevate R-Truth to Main-Event status and feuded with John Cena. Now that JoMo is back and has beaten R-Truth, WWE booking has no idea what to do with him now. Helping heels gain some cred by jobbing to them is not being buried. Losing to Santino after working a program with The Great Kahli is being buried.

6) Union? ha yeah okay, I work in the UAW and it does nothing for me but take money out of my check once a month to line its pockets further. WWE Superstars make 80k-100k+ a year on average as a base pay.(UAW is only pulling 30k-50k) I'm sure Morrison and many other superstars could afford insurance on that pay scale. Thats BASE pay not including merch sales and PPV pay offs. Morrison has been tossed on to so many PPV's last minute that he should have a surplus of cash to afford his medical bills.

You obviously have never had to restructure your health insurance after a major surgery. I had to set down with insurance agents and talk about the dangers of being in High School sports such as Baseball and Football and if I deserved to be insured for any injuries. John Morrison is a professional Wrestler. He gets sent through tables, chairs, top of cages, top of ladders, over the ring. And all the dangers that come with the job. And above all that, he is constantly on the road. He has to take time out of his limited schedule to meet with an insurance agent so he would be able to afford another neck surgery.

Melina's probably fucking someone in LA, so she could probably get a pay off to pay his medical bills. I bet Batista would set them up if she did him right.

Unneeded smark remark, it shows you obviously have some sort of bias.

7) REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!?

Yes really, now can we get back on topic. I want to know if you think JoMo should be released. However I can tell from the ton of snarky remarks you made about John Morrison and Melina I bet I can answer that for you.

Yes really, now can we get back on topic. I want to know if you think JoMo should be released. However I can tell from the ton of snarky remarks you made about John Morrison and Melina I bet I can answer that for you.

1) its been a while since I watched TNA, and as I stated AJ Styles was equally as terrible on the mic as Morrison at that time. Styles may have improved vastly in the times thats passed, but Morrison still sucks on the stick. I'm not insulting Styles because he's actually entertaining to watch, unlike Borrison..errr Morrison

2) Morrison vs R-Truth in London England. Morrison vs Del Rio on Raw a few weeks ago, Randy Orton vs. John Morrison vs. Ted DiBiase, John Morrison vs. Daniel Bryan, John Morrison Vs. Tommy Dreamer, Triple H vs. John Morrison, I can go on for days with this.

3) Morrison lost to the Miz, and went back to the middle card, umm its because thats where he belongs. He's not Main Event Material.

4) Not sure how Sheamus who's only been in the WWE for what 2 maybe 3 years, could give Morrison who's been around for 7+ years the rub in a feud, but OKAY. The WWE didn't drop the ball on booking, again they tested the waters on a Miz vs Morrison feud, and obviously they felt that Morrison either a) wasn't ready, b) couldn't draw, or c) he sucks, no one knows for sure.

5) Edge was still in the middle card when all that business when down. The WWE capitalized on the situation by airing it both parties information on TV and making it a storyline on WWE TV. I'm sure if Morrison, Melina and Batista would have given the it the green light a similar story could have come into the light involving the three.

6) Truth can cut promos, Truth can be entertaining in the ring, Vince Loves R-Truth. Morrison cant cut promos, Morrison isn't entertaining in the ring, and Vince thinks Morrison is a pussy because of Batista slamming her and Morrison not manning up over the situation.

7) Morrison was SQUASHED by Del Rio, even when Del Rio was on Vince's shit list for mentioning his name live on Raw. Squashed the match wasn't even 2 minutes long. Morrison was the first face eliminated in that elimination tag match a couple of weeks ago. Morrison lost the tag match to Swagger, and lest be realistic no one gives a shit about Swagger. Morrison lost the fatal four way match for the US Title, just because their needed to be a fall guy in the match. Henry crushed him, I don't care what slight come back Morrison got, he was crushed.

8) Are you paying for or providing Morrison's insurance? I don't think so there for you shouldn't care. He wanted to be a pro wrestler, in the WWE, after 7+ years he should know how demanding of a job he has, he should know the risks, he knows what he's in store for. Maybe he should change his style and stop relying so much on big spots to get over, and focus on his actual wrestling ability. Prince of Parkour, more like Prince of Winny Pussy Babies.

As for if he should be released, yes he should be released immediately. He should have been released at the exact same moment as Melina, during the same call to kill two birds with one stone and save money on the call or text.

 

[jacdnwarrior]

If it's all banter or part of the storyline, then we just have to sit and wait for the conclusion.

If it's serious, I'm not sure if he'll stay or not. After his girlfriend being released, along with a number of talented performers, he might not like how he is treated as a performer, and feel he's had enough. On the one hand, (again if it's serious), maybe he wants to leave and sees this as a way to move on. I think it might come back to haunt him. Work away from WWE might sound far easier than it really is. He sounds like a number of people who leave or have left WWE. And it's the same complaint about the bullshit behind the scenes.

Again, if he's serious, maybe WWE might be able to sweet talk him into staying and give him a deal that makes him happy if they believe he's worth keeping around. Or maybe WWE will say, 'fuck you John Morrison, we don't need you, we're the biggest show in town and we can survive without you. '

1) its been a while since I watched TNA, and as I stated AJ Styles was equally as terrible on the mic as Morrison at that time. Styles may have improved vastly in the times thats passed, but Morrison still sucks on the stick. I'm not insulting Styles because he's actually entertaining to watch, unlike Borrison..errr Morrison

You provide your opinion, but provide no real base to place your fact. I don't like to cash in on "mays"

2) Morrison vs R-Truth in London England. Morrison vs Del Rio on Raw a few weeks ago, Randy Orton vs. John Morrison vs. Ted DiBiase, John Morrison vs. Daniel Bryan, John Morrison Vs. Tommy Dreamer, Triple H vs. John Morrison, I can go on for days with this.

Are you really saying that John Morrison had a bad match with Daniel Bryan? Or even Triple H? You do realize how silly you sound right now? Why were those matches bad? What did Morrison do wrong that made the match so bad for you to watch? You provide a list of matches but no real statements on why the matches were bad. John Morrison's match with Del Rio was very entertaining, it was an attempt by the WWE to help get Del Rio get over with the fans as a heel. JoMo and Del Rio had a great, entertaining match, both had great ring sense and told a story.

3) Morrison lost to the Miz, and went back to the middle card, umm its because thats where he belongs. He's not Main Event Material.

JoMo was upper card/Middle card a few months back. He was in the hunt for the WWE title for quite sometime and having people just asking "When." When was JoMo going to get that title. People were excited to watch John Morrison, his spots were insanely over with the crowd and the kids ate of the Prince of Parkour. All it takes is for JoMo to get the right booking, and he will be a main-eventer in no time.

4) Not sure how Sheamus who's only been in the WWE for what 2 maybe 3 years, could give Morrison who's been around for 7+ years the rub in a feud, but OKAY.

Sheamus was pushed to the moon when he debuted in the WWE. Everyone fell to the hands of Sheamus on his climb to the main-event in the WWE. And rightfully so, he is a top talent in the WWE and is a main-stay for quite some time. So a man who was rocketed into the main-event and started to slow-down can give a rub to a middle card guy that was being built slowly, like John Morrison for a perfect example. Not only did Sheamus have something to do to demand T.V and PPV time, JoMo came out as a number one contender for the title. A rub is a rub, doesn't matter how long someone has been in the business for.

The WWE didn't drop the ball on booking, again they tested the waters on a Miz vs Morrison feud, and obviously they felt that Morrison either a) wasn't ready, b) couldn't draw, or c) he sucks, no one knows for sure.

Or maybe Morrison vs Miz feud couldn't happen because A) Miz was feuding with Cena B) Miz was feuding with Lawler or C) Miz was feuding with Rock and Cena, take your pick. Although as much as I would have loved to see JoMo and Miz main-event Wrestlemania, the WWE booking wanted to have Cena booked in the main-event against their future main-event heel, Miz. Maybe if Morrison/Miz for the title had a bit longer than 2 weeks to develop and an actual PPV match it would have been golden, but no. Morrison gave Miz a rub as a tough brawler due to their Falls Count Anywhere match on Raw.

5) Edge was still in the middle card when all that business when down. The WWE capitalized on the situation by airing it both parties information on TV and making it a storyline on WWE TV. I'm sure if Morrison, Melina and Batista would have given the it the green light a similar story could have come into the light involving the three.

Umm not really, by the Edge/Lita/Hardy feud, Edge was holding a Money in the Bank contract. That is a rocket shot straight into the main-event as you can plainly see. You don't need to air your dirty laundry on T.V. Even more so after the same exact angle had been done before.

6) Truth can cut promos, Truth can be entertaining in the ring, Vince Loves R-Truth. Morrison cant cut promos, Morrison isn't entertaining in the ring, and Vince thinks Morrison is a pussy because of Batista slamming her and Morrison not manning up over the situation.

Again and overly opinionated statement that is based on little to no facts. Sure, Truth is talented on both the mic and in the ring. But who's to say Vince doesn't like John Morrison because of the affair his girlfriend had with another man?

7) Morrison was SQUASHED by Del Rio, even when Del Rio was on Vince's shit list for mentioning his name live on Raw. Squashed the match wasn't even 2 minutes long. Morrison was the first face eliminated in that elimination tag match a couple of weeks ago. Morrison lost the tag match to Swagger, and lest be realistic no one gives a shit about Swagger. Morrison lost the fatal four way match for the US Title, just because their needed to be a fall guy in the match. Henry crushed him, I don't care what slight come back Morrison got, he was crushed.

There's being buried, and then their is having nothing to do since coming back from his neck surgery. Hell, he was lucky to plug in his feud with R-Truth after coming back. Right now, John Morrison needs something to do, and quick. If he plays his cards right, he can find himself on the end of a feud with Miz again with a tag partner. (Johnny Curtis perhaps?) All he needs is booking, then he is back to his feet.

8) Are you paying for or providing Morrison's insurance? I don't think so there for you shouldn't care.

I said I understand the difficulty modern day health insurance is and how much of a hassle it has to be in order to be insured for his career. It is empathy, you should learn it sometime.

He wanted to be a pro wrestler, in the WWE, after 7+ years he should know how demanding of a job he has, he should know the risks, he knows what he's in store for.

He does know how dangerous his job is, that is why he is trying to restructure his health insurance Is that really hard to understand?

Maybe he should change his style and stop relying so much on big spots to get over, and focus on his actual wrestling ability

That is exactly how he gets over. That is his style of wrestling and it is very entertaining. Do I want to see John Morrison trying to attempt to do Powerbombs or locking people in arm-bars? No, of course not. I want to see him do some crazy spot with his natural balance and in-ring ability.

Prince of Parkour, more like Prince of Winny Pussy Babies.

Smark statement, try thinking with your brain instead of your ass. You will find your brain works better for posting here.

As for if he should be released, yes he should be released immediately. He should have been released at the exact same moment as Melina, during the same call to kill two birds with one stone and save money on the call or text.

Why? Why should Morrison be released? John Morrison does everything he can for the company and it shows in his ring work and his back-stage work. If you don't like John Morrison, that's fine. But you just flat out have blind hate for the guy. You say he sucks, but give no valid reason on why, you just shoot out insults and provide no real point. Why should Morrison have been released with Melina?

But you just flat out have blind hate for the guy. You say he sucks, but give no valid reason on why, you just shoot out insults and provide no real point. Why should Morrison have been released with Melina?

You bring up the concept of one wrestler giving another a "rub" Morrison hasn't done a fucking thing to give another wrestler a rub. Especially the Miz. Miz was the WWE Champion at the time, Morrison hasn't held a title of any sorts since 2009. How could the Miz the WWE champion gain a rub from facing Morrison, after the Miz defeated a super over and super face Randy Orton? No where in hell.

Sheamus was pushed to the moon because he's the total fucking package, he's got a good look, hes massive, hes intense, hes one of the best on the mic in the entire company and has been, on and hes great in the ring. Sheamus is like no other superstar on the Roster. He was pushed to the Moon because he had all the tools from the start to be a star.
Morrison has been around for 7 years and still lacks the ability to put on a great match, lacks the ability to cut a promo, lacks the ability to be entertaining, lacks intensity, lacks heart, lacks being interesting, outside of his high spots and spot monkey antics he's boring.

As for Miz vs Morrison at WM27, maybe the WWE went with Miz vs Cena because it would make money. John Cena makes the WWE Money, hand of fist, placing a rising heel/star (Miz) against a well tested star/cash cow (Cena) was a smart business decision. Miz and Morrison is an interesting idea, Ill give you that, but The Miz vs Morrison doesn't sell WM tickets, it doesn't sell shit as a main event for a PPV, period.

Although I have no information to back up that Vince love Truth, and hates Morrison, the fact that R-Truth is being pushed, and Morrison is eating the mat should be proof enough to anyone who's paying attention. Truth was "fired" as part of a storyline, and he's still active as apart of the story line. Morrison is still jobbing to every heel they can find.

If your finisher involves doing any kind of spot off the ropes, onto the body of another person you should know that you are at risk of injury. So many wrestlers have had their careers ended due to neck injuries that Morrison should take more caution in his actions. Again the man makes 80k+ a year he should be able to handle his health care issues himself. The WWE has never and probably wont ever take care of their superstars medical insurance. Who's to say that Vince and co didn't pay for Morrison's surgery, huh?

As for "creative not having anything for Morrison to do" they have found plenty of story lines for other superstars to be placed into, and Morrison just hasn't found a place to fit in. I don't think its Creative's fault, its Morrison's. MVP and Matt Hardy put on a program with each other that they brought to the table. Ryder made himself known to the WWE Universe and helped himself to get over with twitter and youtube. If Morrison wants to be someone and wants to get over he needs to make it happen, he needs to step up to the plate, he needs to stop being a pussy and make a move, period.

Chris Jericho was the man of a 1004 holds and many of them were ARM BARS! He went from being middle card jobber, to one of the most over superstars of all time. Multi time champion of every level from Middle Card to Main Event. Please tell me how a guy who's well rounded and who's arsenal in the ring isn't completely based on spots cant get over? PLEASE!!!!!?

Blind hate would be me bringing up his look, which is terrible
Blind hate would be me bringing up his lack of mic skills, which haven't improved in 7 years
Blind hate would be me bringing up his lack of a backbone, which he proved when he didn't do a damned thing about Batista slamming his long term girlfriend
Blind hate would be me bringing up the fact that he's completely overrated in the ring, and if he goes down in WWE history as anything, it'll be as one of their biggest spot monkeys of all time.

Morrison has been in the exact same place for the past 3 years, he hasn't progressed any, and because most fans are too stupid to look past his abilities as a spot monkey. "Smarks" as you'll say hate Morrison because he's the same piece of shit that he's been for the past few years, similar to the people who Hate Cean and Hate Mysterio people hate Morrison because he hasn't improved at all whatsoever in his tenure with the WWE.

Morrison is not good. Morrison is trash, hot garbage, lacks testicular fortitude. Again he should be fire because his short comings outweigh everything else he's ever done.

There are plenty of guys who if given the time they've wasted on Morrison would have outshine him by now.

It's hilarious how you comment on every thread about John Morrison just to bash him.
And as bad as you think Morrison is, quite a few of us here are starting to think that the crap that you post is infinitely worse.

You go on and on about how boring and terrible he is, but you forget that it's only YOUR opinion. An opinion that a few others may share with you; but from past threads the majority of posters here disagree with you about him being terrible and boring. in fact the majority of posts concerning John Morrison are very similar "John Morrison is crap on the mic as a face but very entertaining in the ring".

Morrison has plenty of fans, yes, the majority of those fans are women and children but these are a good percentage of WWE's overall demographics.
According to WWEshop.com John Morrison's shirt is ranked 15th on the kids highest selling items, beating even Edge's. In fact, his merchandise was only beaten by Cena's, Sin Cara's, Punk's and Orton's. That's his older shirt by the way. His new shirt that was just released two/three days ago is already in the Highest Selling list on every category, men, women and childrens. And when I had ordered his sunglasses when they were still on sale, both were near the Top 10 on every category.

With those sales figures alone, anyone should be able to tell that Morrison DOES actually draw and he has a good fanbase. Which are reasons as to why he SHOULDNT be released no matter what his current shortcomings may be.

Spear, Zig Zag, Cross Rhodes, Gut Wrench.

Jobbbbbbb Borrison lost again. How many weeks in a row is that?
Is he on a losing streak along with Bryan?
Do they hope this will get either of them over?
Doesn't look to be working

Lets be serious, he's being buried and it isn't to his benefit.
His new shirt is also fucking awful.

John Morrison got a segment, he made it clear that he was clearly against Johnny Ace being the RAW GM. And after being attacked by the group that help generate the change in GM should make it clear that Morrison has a chance on being part of the Pro-WWE team that is being rumored for Survivor Series. It shows that the WWE is trying to involve John Morrison to the segment shows they want Morrison a part of their program. Their is no shame in being squashed by an entire stable of heels.

John Morrison has a very ugly T-Shirt indeed. But hey, it is clear that the WWE likes JoMo enough to create him a new shirt and have it produced to be sold on their website and live events. If that is indication on the WWE not giving up on John Morrison and his future with the WWE. Take Christian for instance, his new shirt is uglier than sin. But Christian is now one of the top heels in the WWE. Take that for what you will, you aren't providing any real basis behind your statement.

 

[lenguy]

Morrison is incredible talent,he demonstrates that talent every time the guy steps in the ring. I don't see why he receives the hate he gets. What do people hate about him? That he has no mic skills? The guy has obvious nerves about speaking in front of large audiences,he's mentioned this. If he can just grow to be more comfortable in a big setting and not be such a nervous wreck then he can slowly start to develop his own craft on the mic. He doesn't need to be the next Roddy Piper or Steve Austin but with enough practice, he can be the first John Morrison.

Or about the guys a glorified stunt monkey? Guys..its wrestling,how boring would it be if everyone wrestled the same style. Morrison has his own style and it obviously seems to work for him and the crowd seems to dig it as well. Some of you people seem to be fixed on what a main eventer should be. Its somehow wrestling blasphemy if a main event talent is seen taking a high risk move off the ropes or a ladder or whatever. I can make a similar comparison to Punks speech some odd weeks back about Vinces obsession with body builder type talent and their constant presence in wwe's main event history. People need to be open to more possibilities when it comes to the image of the main eventer. Lets face it, you will be a main event talent if you can draw, regardless of whether your a spot monkey,high flyer or a stiff mountain of muscle. Bottom line..people just hating just to hate.

But on the topic of being released. Its quiet clear that since Morrisons return it seems hes been on nothing but a step slope back down to the bottom of ladder. Then you add in the rumors that Morrisons contract is set to expire within the coming months and no news of any sort of negotiations. It could be possible that the Jomosapian might be on his way out. That or he's just having some issues backstage..if he were to leave then I would be saddened because hes one of a select few who can manage to hold my attention in the ring. The guy is exciting to watch and I think wwe would take a hit if they were to lose him. The guy has some much untapped potential and it would be a shame if he were to leave without seeing any possible future. I still hope to see big things from him, that is, if hes not going anywhere.

 

[keehlnate]

Jobber Morrison still jobbing as of late. Losing cleanly to Christian. I don't really know why are they burying him this much. I also don't know how and if he could even resurrect his career. He isn't relevant anymore aside from Jobbing to other wrestler.

 

[poppycock]

I have never been a fan of Morrison, he just is not they type of wrestler I am drawn to. I would not be disapointed if he never wins the WWE Championship. Saying that though it seems a bit harsh right now how he is being buried on a weekly basis and being squashed like there is no tomorrow. Lots of wrestlers go through this though and maybe it is good character building and he will come back stronger. Maybe the WWE have plans for him and a big push sometime soon so he is ok with it?! I am not too bothered because like I said I am not a fan of his. TNA bound maybe? Maybe for the best..X Division Champion in the making.

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/243386-report-wwe-star-soon-to-be-done-with-company

F4Wonline is reporting that the talk backstage is that John Morrison will not be re-signing with WWE when his contract expires very soon.

The feeling is that both Morrison and WWE have had enough working together and are ready to move on without each other.

damn I love being right

 

[justinsayne]

This is clearly a just an angle to turn him heel, he loses an shit load of matches, bitches on twitter about everything, gets frustrated and then at some point he's going to finally snap in the ring & we're going to get our full blown Morrison heel turn. Jesus Christ just cause someone starts losing matches doesn't always mean they're on someone's shit list, ever stop to think maybe they're gearing up to move JoMo in a new direction?
