I just don't know what exactly he is supposed to do though. Is there a clear cut line that we can walk and say "This is what John Morrison should do?" I don't think it's come to that yet. I liked the "far out" Jim Morrison esque promos, I thought they were great. The whole "I'm enlightened but way out there" thing.
Now you are right, he has moved waaay away from that, but as originally stated, what do you do then? At this juncture I don't think there is anything that can be done. It's like a boulder running down hill, it's just to late to stop it. I'm afraid that if you tried to change almost anything about what he has going on at the moment, it might confuse the fans or something, or it might in some way slow his progress as he would be starting with a seemingly new character(to some degree).
If all you are calling for is a change of the music....Well, that might be possible without derailing his success. All I am saying is "Don't change a good thing" and at the moment it seems like the music along with everything else is working just fine. I think this character is a little more evolved, a combination of his original persona and the "Morrison" persona. I personally wish he never changed his name. I thought " Johnny Nitro" sounded like a great name, but apparently Hennigan thought it sounded too immature, he wanted a more serious more mature sounding name or something. As a result they repackaged him as "John Morrison" with the far out gimmick and all that. Now that character has turned into what I was saying before, some incarnation of both characters.
I totally bought him as ECW champion, I was glad he had finally got a major title. I have been saying for a while now If you have any questions about Morrison in the Main Event role, don't. This guy can do it, you just have to put him in there and watch. I have nothing but confidence that this guy can go as far as he wants. He has some room for improvement mic wise, but he is still light years ahead of a lot of guys, and that's about all the real criticism I could give him. I think everywhere else the guy has got it, and the mic thing comes with time. As I have been watching though, he has been improving consistently. Every time he has got the mic time I have noticed he seems to be getting more comfortable, and having more fun with it. He is about 90% there.
Personally, I love the music. I sing that shit every time he comes out, I love it. I like the Jimmy Hendrix voice in there and the groovy guitar riff. I think it compliments him perfectly. On the other hand, I think your going to get your wish soon. This February WWE is releasing a John Morrison DVD calling it John Morrison: Rock Star. Maybe after they get that agenda out there and in peoples minds they will change it up. I don't think it is necessary at the moment. Of course in the future as he hits Main Event status, like other main eventers his music will need to change. Note Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista, John Cena as a few guys who got to the top with one theme and after reaching the top got a new one. It is only inevitable. Hell, Miz isn't even Main Event yet and he has new music.
I think after Wrestlemania when the draft comes along that Morrison should or will be going to Raw, it's about that time if they want to send him to the top. I don't know how you would shuffle the other guys around to make up for it, but I think that is either what's going to happen or what needs to happen. If that were the scenario, that is when I would be watching for the music change.
