**Merged** All John Morrison Discussion

[satchmokilnt]

i really couldnt care if he stays or goes. all i know is that this is the single most interesting thing ive heard john morrison ever say. i, for the first time ever actually have some interest in john morrison. and thats down to him speaking the truth in regards to triple h.

triple h, since his return has the coo (coo cachoo). has been nothing but a limelight hog who seems to get more screen time than anyone else. once again, its all about triple h. feeding his ego at the expense of everyone else. he has buried talent as always, and for what gain? i certainly dont see any. he noticed cm punk had the hottest storyline in wrestling for many a year, it was getting mainstream interest.(a major rarity these days) so, what does triple ego do? he comes along to leech off cm punks new found popularity, and in the process, does what triple h does. he gets the win to feed his ego and for what pay off? im struggling to see any. there was no pay off, just a win for triple h. dont kid yourselves, he will position himself to win a title in the near future. his ego wouldnt allow any different. its the same old story with triple h. he's ruining anything decent that has been happening in wwe, and he will continue to do so. john morrison has called him out on this. well done to john says i. he has spoken the truth. and for that he will probably be pedigreed by triple h on the next raw, before he receives his marching orders. you can see it now. after all triple h is that predictable, and his ego would not allow any different.

Give it time. It took Edge 8 years to win his first WWE championship Morrison has been here for 6. Give Morrison no longer than 2 years and I guarentee he'll be a top player, he has all the tools.

 

[HorsemenNo4]

I don't think he'll be released soon but he has been pushed to the backburner. With the Raw Supershow, guys like Sheamus are taking his spot and the returning Mason Ryan is getting a push. He needs to go on Smackdown for a month or two and gain momentum over there. There isn't anything for him on RAW at the moment.

 

[RicoLen]

Morrison WILL leave when his contract is up bc of all the heat he got bc of Melina, all the badmouthing he gets from current & former superstars, and the fact that he is held back despite being one of the most popular faces in the company.

He won the contract at last year's TLC to face the WWE champ at RR; then they acted as though that wasn't the case and just gave him his shot on an ep of RAW.

He stole the show at RR; then they put him in a crap ass match at WM and teamed him with two ppl who hadn't been on WWE tv for EVER. The guy's been busting his ass and he gets over every time he gets in the ring; but he gets held back just bc they don't like his girl? personal shit; it shouldn't stifle him professionally. It's very clear that this is the only thing that holds him back. The fans LOVE him and he has had great fueds with top guys like Punk and Ziggler. He's not gonna cut the best promo in the world, but neither is Rey Jr, Jeff Hardy, or some other mega popular faces.

If WWE were smart, they'd negotiate some kinda deal with another company for him; maybe let him go elsewhere and build his rep so maybe he can build a higher stock. meanwhile, WWE can get a fresh face into their mix and maybe Morrison will feel/look better in the public eye when he comes back. I mean, Truth "injured him" and he returned without even a blow-off ppv match (which WOULD have drew bc Truth got SUPER over with his new gimmick that HE got bc of MORRISON!). It's obvious WWE is purposely holding this guy back and the reasoning is petty....

There may be some personal stuff to this, but it sounds more like you want him to leave to be a big fish in a small pond.

Truth got over because he interacted with the crowd and became funny. Because of his heel turn he became the guy with the most catch phrases on the current roster of the WWE. John Morrison had nothing to do with his getting over, it could have been anyone that R-Truth snapped and went loco on, it just happened to be Morrison and nobody cared enough while he was gone to give a crap when he came back and that's why the match was yanked from the PPV at the last minute.

 

[CMSawall]

Like The Miz said "He is the Shawn Michaels, and Morrison is the Marty Janety"(SP?)

Everyone is quickly for getting about him. and wtf is up with his new "Jomosapian: We eat your lunch" T-shirt? its pointless and stupid.

I give this guy at least 6 more months before he is released.

 

[ActionJackson]

Seriously, I could care less if Morrison goes or stays. He is a forgetable performer at best. But PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF MUSTACHE WWE stop talking about his Parkour. He does NOT do parkour. He jumps around like an idiot and hopes over chairs like Jeff Hardy doing a dance for a dime bag.

Come on, we all know Jeff Hardy dancing around is at least worth a quart sized bag of the good stuff.

As for Morrison, he needs some time off camera, he hasn't done much at all to progress as a performer. Maybe a heel turn and some time with the Miz as his tag team partner again. (Yes I know he is "fired" and with R-Truth, but I'm sure being in a stable with the two would do wonders for him.)

 

[GrandSword]

JoMo just won a match on Superstars although it was against McIntyre who possibly in the same boat as him... I think he's fine for the moment. He does need work on his promos though. Bret Hart used to wear his sunglasses when cutting promos to give him more confidence.

Maybe John, instead of giving them away should hang onto them until after he's finished talking.

And I still think Morrison is a 100 times better than Miz, but then again, I think that about everyone...

 

[jrocko1981]

Are you fucking serious? JR did the same type of in-character tweet after the walkout. I understand ignorance is bliss, but you're going to walk into a stop sign in the near future if you don't start noticing shit.

Morrison's going to stick around for a while. He's got that new shirt, one less crazy co-worker girlfriend, and a locker room with a few morons who will get kicked if they don't stop drinking. To my knowledge, Hennigan has no WP violations, hasn't had some silly DUI charge, and doesn't shit in Diva's bags.

Oh, wait, that last one would make him a main eventer.

Morrison actually does have 1 wellness Violation from back in 2007 while he was the ECW champion. That's why he dropped the title to CM Punk when he did(Not that if wasn't going to happen eventually)

In my opinion Morrison is just being humbled right now because of all the heat put on him by Melina. I think he realized their relationship wasn't doing his career any favors so he finally dumped her. Will he ever be World champion I don't know but I can see him being I-C or U.S. Champion a few more times once he gets out of the doghouse.

 

[KoC417]

John Morrison sucks. There SOMEBODY had to say it!
What does he have, a body and he can do a spin off the turnbuckle. Wow. Evan Bourne can do all that too. Sorry but he just seems too much of a douche to really do anything in WWE. Vince will never put the big strap on him. One because it might cause Morrison to fall forward because we ALL know he's a bit light in the waist region (I bet Melina still hasn't recovered from The Animal mauling her). And 2nd he can't draw. He had his chances and he failed miserably. He failed more than Glacier, Kevin Thorne, and every other misfit COMBINE. The only thing Morrison had going for him was when he was with the Miz. At least that's my opinion. That and when MnM first started out. He should be a designated long term tag team guy. He has NO credibility anywhere else outside of tag team wrestling essentially. Name 4 SOLID 5 STAR singles matches that Morrison has had. Name 3 memorable quotes Morrison has stated.
Morrison HAS potential but as JR has said yea can't put food on the table with potential. John Morrison it will be a great delight to see that you have been future endeavored! But hey think of it like this: TNA will easily throw the strap on you pretty boy. TNA LOVES WWE Rejects!

 

[Psykohurricane55]

John morrison is pretty much in the same place that Drew McIntyre is right now and that jobber territory and just like Drew, is mostly because of is personal life. Drew stop getting push the day is Wife (or ex-wife) Tiffany got release same goes with Morrison, he's stopp getting push the day Melina got release. The WWE is making these 2 pay for the mistake their girlfriend did and that'S to bad because you got 2 really talented guy just getting wasted on Raw because somebody in management doesn't like who they are dating in real life.

I don'T think Morrisson will be release soon because just like Drew, they need him to make the top talent look good. For god sake they just release a new John Morrison t-shirt so i doubt he getting release soon

 

[James]

John Morrision is terrible and I don't like him. Hell a lot of people don't like him because he boring and he botches as much as Kofi Kingston. He's like a robot basically and he gets boring and stale quickly. If he gets released, then good riddance.

 

[Da Solo]

No he's not. Morrison is a midcard for life kinda guy, nothing wrong with that. Some guys just won't/shouldn't win the big strap: Morrison is one of those guys. If he does get a reign, it should be one of those "thank-you" reigns like Benoit got. I will admit, his booking has been horrible lately, like Drew McIntyre horrible. But at least he's still getting exposure. Hell, JTG had some steam at one point too and now he's rarely even on SD anymore (which is bullcrap, but thats another thread).

 

[Azane]

he was in a main event cage match for the World title not that long ago (and was a ballsack away from winning it), how fast they fall.

Jomo still has drawing power and potential, he's worth his roster slot, I wouldn't expect him to go anywhere.

 

[King of the Words]

I hope John Morrison does not go anywhere for I do see a promising WWE future for him. I still think he would be better off as a heel, but as a face he just needs some more mic time. He needs more practice. He's over with the fans and he always seems to get a spot at each pay-per-view, even if it is not advertised. WWE knows the fans like him and he's too good to just release. Like I said before, I think he would probably be better off as a heel. He could be arrogant, flamboyant, a true narcisist. Give him vicky when Dolph is finished with her. Have him as a modern day HBK and Sherri. He can do a little talking and save most of it for Vicky while he's looking in a mirror posing or something, in his on little world. I think it could work. It is similar to Dolphs character, and I see one or the other of these two guys possibly being the next HBK, if there ever is another one. Maybe not as good, but still could be pretty great in time. You could even have Morrison saying he's todays HBK, only better. That would draw him a lot of heat as a heel.

 

[MoRtAnDaD]

Look at Mark Henry, he was a mid carder for most of his career. It took 15yrs to get him in the title picture.
Morrison will be a mid carder as long as the wwe and himself, finds something appealing to his character.
With Henry they finally found this hall of pain, monster heel, that works. Hell, i dont remember last time i saw a heel winning 2 title matches clean against one of the top faces of the company.

Morrison needs something else besides his athletic skills, just like Cody did, Miz did, etc.

As a personal opinion, the guy its a good fill to have some crazy spots, but nothing else. Doesnt have charisma, mic skills, or prescense to go higher than he is now.

 

[brandonxthomas]

Morrison is right where he should be... he is a mid card wrestler, nothing more.

The guy is horrible. Just watch his segment with R-Truth a few months ago. That might of been the worst opening ever to a Monday Night Raw.

QUOTE]

You must be crazy! R Truth smoking and flicking the cigarette was the best thing wrestling has done in a really long time.

That segment was rad but JoMo sucks. He is boring 99% of the time then he does cool stuff like in the RR.

Yawn, let him go.

 

[geroge86]

He's the only winner of the original Tough Enoughs to still be there and if he does leave he'll more than likely ask for his release. He did have a wellness policy violation back in 07 which is why he dropped the ECW title. His promos have been really bland since his face turn but when he's heel he's not exciting in the ring. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

 

[Foshinzo]

I think he'll probably just get pushed into mid-card jobbing and then ask for his release, where he can go win the TNA World Title and do nothing from there. The guy is an athlete, but not an entertainer. I do like his in-ring work, but his extra work can just flat out be brutal to sit through. I thought R-Truth was bad in the promo right before he turned heel, but then he turned heel and I realized, "Okay, JoMo just kind of sucks the life out of promos he's in."

I think that his last shot is if he goes heel and uses these Tweets as his promos. They felt authentic, and that's all his promos need. The guy just needs some fire when he's got the mic in his hand. Maybe if he could seem as intense then as he did behind his keyboard, we'd get somewhere. He has nothing to lose, except for the fact that WWE seems pissed at him and is content to bury his career, too. So long, JoMo. You'll always be one of my, "could have been," guys.

 

[NegativeFeedback]

He has had plenty of time to get over. He has had like 3 pushes and they all failed. He is good but not good enough to be the guy, even on SD. I feel within a year he wull be released and this time next year he will be either TNA or ROH world champ.

Just because they depushed him doesn't mean he failed. He had GREAT matches with Sheamus, the best Falls Count Anywhere match I've ever seen with The Miz and got ridiculously over with all his highflying spots. Even at the Rumble and the Chamber, his parts got huge reactions. Even at ER, he was very over in the Steel Cage.

They de-pushed him for no reason. When he came back from injury, they have jobbed him like crazy. It isn't HIS fault. Probably Melina's, but Morrison hasn't failed at all.

 

[b the man]

I have to chuckle at reports and discussions about certain wrestlers who are supposedly going to be gone from the WWE in a short period of time simply because they are not necessarily the main attraction or they have been losing most of their matches. I laugh at this because I remember how a few months back, people on this very site were saying the exact same thing about Sheamus. Now look at him. He is quickly rising as one of the top faces on Smackdown, and it's only a matter of time before he is World Heavyweight Champion again. Can the same be said about John Morrison? Who knows. But until he is actually released, all reports of his leaving the company are greatly exaggerated.

 

[HollywoodLuthias]

The WWE Booking Team lost interest in pushing John Morrison months ago and they've been scripting him to lose most of his matches and make his opponents look good. It's a shame because I think he is a very talentted Wrester and there was discussion of moving John Morrison into Main Event Matches. I thought he was a Good ECW Champin, Intercontinental Champion, World Tag Team Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion.

I think John Morrison will be a Champion for someone else

 

[metalbass]

He can be relevant again and it should coincide with Dolph Ziggler losing his US championship to Zack Ryder then maybe moving towards the main event. Right after Zack beats Ziggler, he can celebrate in the ring and bring his dad in saying how he finally is a 'real' champion, then his dad can say something like, "yeah but you're no John Morrison!" He can bring out John Morrison to beat up on his son and be the mouthpiece for a few months, effectively turning him heel and in the US picture and making Zack Ryder a sympathetic face character that the crowd will really want to get behind.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

as soon as i saw the title to this thread i knew that it would be about what morrison said recently i mean come on dont you people realize it was probably just to promote the current storyline and he was in charecter when he said that stuff? he said something about eating your lunch and i happened to notice 1 of his shirts says that exact same thing on the back if you dont knw what i mean by tht put 2 and 2 together he wont be fired soon hes damn good,he puts on good matches (he didnt look bad against henry as henry is murdering everybody latley and morrison did hit his finisher along with other moves) i think tht interview or whatever is meant to hint at a heel turn coming soon

 

[RoughKut]

I think Morrison deserves some credit for his dedication to the business. He's reportedly taken "comedy" or speech classes or what-not and he's constantly training to be a better physical performer. And he keeps his physique in top condition, which was a constant complaint by WWE brass for various FE club members. (HHH).

I am not really a big fan of the parkour thing, but the WWE tends to latch on to things like that, not necessarily Morrison's fault.

Personally, love is love but I think Mo will go much further if he drops Melina, who obviously isn't well liked. However, I always thought she was one of the more interesting divas in the past with her "splits" and her war cries. Not much to look at, but meh.

Just one good story is all he needs to hit that next level. I think Mo could be just as good as an HBK once he gets more comfy behind the microphone.

Hell, I NEVER would have thought Cody Rhodes had a chance to become what he's become. Not in a million years. If he DID get over it would be with some ridiculous gimmick like the rest of his kin. Point being, anyone in the WWE has enough talent to get over. Morrison has ALL the pieces to the puzzle, just needs one good story.

 

[berlinbrawler]

So Morrison has been jobbing a lot lately. True.
Is that a sign that he will get fired soon? Ridiculous.

WWE needs jobbers, man! Some of their longest lasting employees were jobbers. So if anything this could be considered an indication that Morrison isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

That said, I wouldn't exactly classify Morrison as a jobber. He may be filling that capacity for the time being, but he will eventually get pushed again. Scotty 2 Hotty he is not.
