Has John Morrison lost his mojo?

[Troy]

Personally Morrison doesn't have it never has. He was good on the mic in one promo when he dropped the Nitro name (which was kinda better than Morrison) I saw great things for him while watching Tough Enough I mean he does a standing shooting star press but he's never used it in the ring the parkour things he does half the time just take to long to setup making it unbelievable. Not to mention his constant fuck ups with his attitude.

It seems like that is his biggest issue. He keeps screwing up backstage and so WWE will overlook him again. If he can get that inline and work out the backstage politics he will probably go further up the card once he signs that new deal.

But the fans would pop for him when he would do the parkour type moves so it does work. I think that they are trying to make Morrison a mix between HBK and Jeff Hardy. Pretty boy with the big high flying spots. Just have him jump off the stage or titantron and then the fans will get behind him.

Shane O's thing so I don't see them giving that away. You know for the bosses son he doesn't get enough credit for the stuff he did. He couldn't wrestle and he knew it but man he'd attempt some crazy stuff.

Haven't others jumped off the Titantron? I seem to remember someone climbing it two years ago, not to the top but halfway up, and jumping off but the name escapes me. I assume it was Jeff.

I agree that Shane was better than people gave him credit for and deserved a lot of respect for putting his body on the line. Same with Vince, he put his body on the line many times and you don't expect that from a billionaire and his son. It shows that they both did what was best for the product.

Think Blackman did it. Jeff did in 08. Shanes done it multiple times, shame he isnt around anymore.

If the hardcore title was around Morrison would probably be all over that with the parkour.

 

[Troy]

I remember when Blackman faced Shane and they both climbed it. Blackman hit Shane in the back with a kendo stick and Shane fell backwards off it and then Blackman hit an elbow drop onto him. Jeff must have been the one that did it recently during his time in the Smackdown mainevent scene.

If Morrison can get into a gimmick match at TLC he could excel and win over some fans with his crazy stunts the same way Jeff would win fans. Other than that he may have to wait until MITB to pull off more of those crazy moves.

I don't think Morrison is that over, not in a sustained way. Sure the fans may go nuts for his ramdon spots but then for the rest of the match they will be fairly quiet, that is the problem.

Shane was not underated. He was a simple spot monkey who could do nothing else good and was avenge on the mic.

John Morrison is over to a degree, but not that much. It is mostly for his insane moves, but when his music hits he gets a fair pop. The crowd just isn't consistent with him, some weeks they cheer, other they don't. He was doing a lot better at the start of the year and even main evented Extreme Rules. He could get back to that, he just needs to be given something decent to do. I hope he doesn't get released he has got potential.

As for Shane, I would say he was a bit underrated too. He did do a lot of spots, but you had to respect him for it considering he wasn't a full time trained wrestler. And I thought he did well on the mic. Put it this way he also got a good pop and people were constantly interested.

Thing with Shane is when he just made a one off in ring appearence for a special feud or match then it was fine, but when he started wrestling regularly and was put over guys like RVD and Kane it just became a joke.

You had to have the wins to make the other appearences believable. Was he any less than Spike Dudely? Who also went over both Kane and RVD at one point. Any less than Steph in the Divas division?

Morrison is flash over substance and his shtick is wearing thin.

Fancy flips are not enough to keep anyone over for long periods of time, the Jeff Hardy's and RDV"s of the world remained over enough for mainevent status because they actually had this thing called "charisma". Something Morrison doesn't have.

Plus the fact that he has a girlfriend that nobody liked and has been an albatross on his entire WWE run.
