Will Morrison Main Event???

[willywonka8822]

This is my first thread so go easy on me
John Morrison seemed like he was the domanant member in his legendary team, but as it has shown WWE has been backing the Miz instead for more than a year now.
Morrison has had his acomplishments since the split including

1. An I-C Title run
2. A World Title Match
and thats about it
The Miz's acomplishments far outweigh morrisons and the push has slowed almost compleately to a stop

Not to mention being teamed with a deadweight the likes of R-Truth
I think morrison either needs to win the royal rumble this year or go back to smackdown.

Another idea I sort of liked was the idea that Morrison could win the Rumble go on to challenge a big name like Ortan or Edge and win and then have Miz cash in on him at Wrestlemania. Then have a fued between Miz and Morrison and it would be epic. I would have Morrison win the feud since Miz could easily land on his feet afterwards.
what do you guys think?

Ok it is your first thread so I won't use words like "stupid" or "dumb"....



Are you stupid? John Morrison is currently in a fued with 2-time WWE champion Sheamus.
He will likely main event sometime in 2011. And it won't take a Royal Rumble win to do it. Hell it may not even take a move to smackdown. Would a move to Smackdown help him? Sure, but none of these things are needed. Morrison is currently fueding with an established main eventer, and you're worried about the Miz getting a bigger push? Sweet Evil Jesus....

 

[Jack-Hammer]

The WWE has been using Morrison well over the course of the past few months. Probably the past 2 or 3 months, Morrison has looked his best since being drafted to Raw. His feud with Sheamus could potentially do a lot for Morrison even if he ultimately doesn't come out on the winning end by the time it's over and done with.

Morrison's only real weakness has been his mic work. As a face, his work on the mic has been subpar at best. He was actually pretty decent as a heel though he still wasn't what I'd consider great. If Morrison can bring his mic work up to spec, I think he has a good chance of possibly making it to the main event sometime next year.

First of all I dont see this rivalry doing helping him any more than the Ortan-Kingston Rivalry helped Kingston, one feud doesnt make a main eventer.
Also I never said a royal rumble win was needed I mearly said it would be great if he did.

And as for Sheamus he is highly overrated and can barely hold the title for more than a month do you really think he can put morrison over?
He's has mediocre mic skills and ring ability he is basically another Triple H!

 

[Notorious718]

I do think Morrison will main event in 2011 for sure if not by the end of the year. He has indeed been on a roll for the past few months and it would be a tragedy if he isn't able to capitalize on his momentum right now. He has his ring work down to a sweet science but the man has absolutely atrocious mic skills. As a heel, his mic skills were at least decent. I'm not saying he should make a heel turn as I think his moveset best suits a face role. But as a face, he has shown a vanilla personality... but that can be fixed.

I think his future success will be greatly influenced by his current program with a former world champion in Sheamus. WWE is currently going in the right direction with Morrison. I only hope they can keep this up.

 

[darbare]

I also agree..I am still hoping for his main event push...but..to say that Sheamus will get him over is preposterous...even comparing it to Orton and Kofi is stupid because Orton is way more established than Sheamus last year than Sheamus is currently...Kofi and Morrison at about equal level, how is Morrison gonna get the better end of it when Sheamus can only give Morrison so much credibility when Sheamus is still trying to get credibility himself? also with this "feud", why hasnt Morrison said anything? I find that quite puzzling really..Santino has basically built up an interesting dynamic between himself and Sheamus and Morrison gets to take the credit for what? helping Santino? Kozlov couldve did that for real...I think for Morrison to main event he has to gain an edge, not be so smiliy all of the time because he comes across as kinda fake especially when he reacts with the fans

No...are you stupid?

He was making a point how Miz has more accolades than Morrison, and it's true. Morrison has just recently been in a feud with Sheamus, and you're asking if he's stupid? You also imply he's stupid for thinking Miz is going to get a bigger push than Morrison...how is that stupid? I think Miz is going to get the bigger push, why? Well, he has the MITB briefcase so he doesn't need to feud with a Sheamus to propel him to the mainevent, he already has the briefcase that will do that, it's just finding the right storyline/situation to cash it in. Yes, Miz is going to get a bigger push down from what it seems like, Vince and the whole WWE creative is really high on him as it is.

 

[jrichardson25]

I'll agree with other posters. One feud doesn't help a superstar break into the "Main Event" It takes a lot more than that...

Now back on topic. I've been doing a lot of trolling lately and today this thread caught my interest. This feud between Morrison and Sheamus will help BOTH men get to another level. Comparing it to Orton and Kofi's feud is nothing short of a ill conceived thought. Orton and Kofi were on two different levels at that time. Kofi is doing well on Smackdown at the moment and Orton is champ.

My point. Sheamus is credible because he is a 2 time WWE Champ. Morrison has what it takes to break that glass ceiling. Sheamus might push him to another level. As far as "Main Eventing" When their match gets a lot of attention what is that called?... my point.

I see things differently. One fued doesn't make anyone but it can be the begining of a rise. This will not simply be an Orton-Kingston rivalry. But either way that's an opinion. I didn't say you said he needed it, I was addressing the prospect of a Royal Rumble win and a move to Smackdown. I used the word needed in addressing the Rumble part because your post implies that it has to be one or the other. Either he HAS to win the Rumble, or he HAS to move to Smackdown- or he'll never main event. And as for Sheamus, he's an over heel and your claim of him being "highly overrated" is an opinion at best, and dead wrong at worst. He's just green. That's it- and no one is rating him "too highly".

Triple H is a savy in-ring veteran, and if his ability is equivelant to Triple H- then good. Even if Sheamus' move set, and athletic ability are different. Mic Skills- questionable. but so what. Chris Beniot and Randy Orton's mic skills were/are questionable.

Now that I'm done whiping my feet with you, I'll be off.

 

[hatehabsforever]

I have no doubt that John Morrison will be a main eventer eventually, but unfortunately, I emphasize the word eventually.

Morrison is still young and in my opinion he has sufficient in-ring skills as well as "the look" that WWE tends to like in the guys they tend to elevate. He does not yet have the mic skills or the charisma to be at the top. And he has a lot of guys ahead of him in line before he gets the push that I feel he rightly deserves.

I hope I am wrong, but I feel that while a main event push is coming, it is at least two years away, if not more. I think such as push will come on RAW, and that he does not need to be moved back to SD. I would prefer the push to come as a heel, where in my opinion he is more naturally suited.

No...are you stupid?

Jeez. A guy acts arrogant one time and suddenly he get's jumped.

In his thread, he mentioned

And I quote,

"The Miz's acomplishments far outweigh morrisons and the push has slowed almost compleately to a stop"

One can't really understand which he's talking about, but either way Morrison just entered a relevant fued and Miz is always hovering in the main event.
So.....that was STUPID.

I implied he's stupid, not for THINKING that the Miz was/is/will get the bigger push, but for posting that comparrison which has been made OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Sure he is new, but It was still stating the dead obvious even to an average fan. It's as if no one knew. As if it was news.

My issue with the thread really didn't even involve those things. What bothered me was the end of it and the ridiculous idea of the Royal Rumble victory this year, and another fued with the Miz or going over to Smackdown. IT HAD to be one of those two things.


Look dude, I was hazing the new guy. Mean? Yeah. But essentially harmless, and I the only thing I really did wrong was act like an ass. That didn't make my point irrelevant.

 

[GLOBAL ICON]

Of course. He's in a fued with a 2-time WWE champ Sheamus. After this fued, he'll sure be a main-eventer. He's gonna fix his place in the over-crowded M.E scene on RAW and he doesn't need the RR for that. Morrison is the future of this company with Miz. And as for your idea of him fueding with Miz, it's good.

what do you guys think?

The Miz does have MITB. But I wouldn't go as far as to say his accomplishments outweigh Morrison's like he is a 5 time WWE Champion and Morrison is stuck at the mid card level.

I am not sure what you have been watching lately, but John Morrison is clearly on the rise. All the backstage footage of his athletic ability that they were showing for a few weeks was awesome. He has been getting nice wins the last few months. Morrison will hit the main event in the very near future.

He is in better in the ring, than The Miz is with the mic. I do not think this is a Shelton Benjamin situation. Morrison has the look, original skill set and popularity to be given that last storyline to put him in the spotlight. In the ring, he is as good as anyone today!

I also would not say Truth is dead weight. He can hold himself in the ring against anyone. You and I might not think he is a future WWE Champion at all. But the fans in the arena put Truth way over when he performs in a match.

Even if the comparison is redundant, it doesn't make him "stupid". And to be honest, I can care less about the whole hazing the new guy o nthe forum type of thing, nor do I care less about this dicussion...it's a forum, it's the internet, who cares man.

But why does that bother you?

If Morrison moved to smackdown he'd be in the main event picture in my opinion, especially when you had Mysterio, Swagger, and Kane as champions.

Also why does that bother you...

If Morrison had another feud with the Miz? I think they could have a great feud over the world championship, a very long one, to see who is the "Jannetty" and who is the "Shawn Michaels" as Miz seemed to cut promos while making that comparison before.

But yes....

It will really bug me if Morrison wins the Royal Rumble. I want to see him be a main eventer, but I do not want to see him main event Wrestlemania.

 

[SmattyG]

Morrison is an absolute lock to main event within 12-18 months. I'm actually pretty surprised they went with The Miz, but both have been berak out stars over the last 12 months. They could probably headline Wrestlemania in 2013 or so.

Morrison needs some work on his mic skills, but that can be fixed. He is WWE's future and will be at the top as long as he wants to be.

 

[YngGun1984]

First of all I dont see this rivalry doing helping him any more than the Ortan-Kingston Rivalry helped Kingston, one feud doesnt make a main eventer.
Also I never said a royal rumble win was needed I mearly said it would be great if he did.

And as for Sheamus he is highly overrated and can barely hold the title for more than a month do you really think he can put morrison over?
He's has mediocre mic skills and ring ability he is basically another Triple H!

First of all, as far as Sheamus goes, he is basically a pasty filler for HHH without the mic skills and the in-ring polish. He got his "push" because Hunter had to film a movie and then they kept it going because he got injured during the filming. The feud though, as pointed out by a few other posters before myself, is going to help both Sheamus and Morrison in the long-term though the earliest I see Morrison getting a major main-event push is this time next year, possibly early 2012 if they decide to have him win the Royal Rumble.

Morrison did his best work when he was teaming with Miz as a heel, and my only hope is that, along with a slight image revamp to something a bit edgier - possibly like Edge or Christian ala The Brood but without the whole being a vampire crap mixed with his par-cor training. Hopefully he can take advantage of the fact that the WWE is going to be going back to a slightly edgier show now that Linda is out of politics. Comparing the Kofi-Orton feud to Morrison-Sheamus though is stupid as they are two COMPLETELY different situations. Though, as a bit of a Santino fan simply because the guy can actually wreste but he is a better physical comedian, I would like to see a continuation of the mini-feud between Sheamus and Santino.

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Well Morrison will be given a main event push within the next two years but I am really not enjoying the prospect of seeing Morrison in the main event. He is boring on the mic and inconsistent in the ring.

This feud that Xemnas is talking about with Sheamus has been salvaged by one guy and one guy only. That person is Santino Marella who is essentially a lower midcarder at best. The cruel fact is that Santino has been used to mask the deficiencies that Morrison on the mic. And that does not exactly scream main event to me.

Hence I would like it if Morrison improve on both his mic work as well as his ring work before main eventing. If he stays on Raw I don't think he will main event immediately but if he goes to Smackdown then there is a chance that you could see him as World Champion by the end of 2011.

 

[dman1373]

First of all I dont see this rivalry doing helping him any more than the Ortan-Kingston Rivalry helped Kingston, one feud doesnt make a main eventer.

tell that to stone cold steve austin. One fued with Bret Hart and he becomes the most popular wrestler in the world.

And about this bullshit about him stalling. I don't get how a fued with a 2 time world champion, means your not getting pushed. That makes absoloutly no sense at all.

 

[Dzone]

I would love it Morrison won the Royal Rumble, but will he, I think not. The sheer number of people who are out injured and could get a MASSIVE pop by returning and winning the Royal Rumble will be too "seductive" for Vince (xD).

I agree with most the posters saying he will "eventually" get a push, but I do think this push will come after Nexus dies down and WWE realises that most of them are utter jobbers-4-life (Otunga, I'm looking at you...). Or even he might get a push if he moves to SD!??!?!? It could work, seeing as Edge was swapped for Punk and now Edge has turned face, maybe have a heel Morrison on SD? This would most likely be the case post-Wrestlemania and probably post-Undertaker's retirement?

EDIT DAMN, I know this is a bit off topic *very off topic* but I just realised Sheamus has the same number of world title reigns as Kane... LOL! EDIT

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Yes. If not for the fact of him being involved with undoubtedly the break-out star of 2009, then for the fact you don't sopend as much time packaging and re-packaging a guy and keeping him involved in storylines, however loosely, unless you have an eventual plan for him. For me it has become a case of not if but when, just like it is for the Miz. I think both of these guys get even more boost from the fact that they were in one of the top 5 tag teams this decade and that will inevitable set up a great main event feud in the future just like when edge and christian eventually come together. I think christian should be heel again, then I certainly think he would go back up, sorry side point.

But yeah as you can tell from the pic, I'm a bit of a morrison mark anyway so I've been waiting for some time, but now it's just a matter of time.

Did you just basically say sheamus is not very good because he is another HHH....................... If there were a way to commit internet suicide, I think your now very, very dead. The same HHH who headed two of the biggest factions of all time and is proffessed by many as one of the greatest heels of all time. Yeah what a total shame is sheamus turned out anything like HHH eh......?!

 

[Dagger Dias]

I'm not sure I agree with the scenario thought up by the thread starter, but I definitely think Morrison will main event. He's not far off. Just because WWE is pushing Miz to the main event a little faster doesn't mean Morrison is on the path to getting future endeavoured. I can see Morrison main eventing and possibly even as a world champion by this time next year. Why not? He has everything you could want in a world champion. The only reason he's not main eventing yet is because he just needs to be developed a little more. Give it time guys, Morrison's a future world champion waiting to happen.
