John Morrison did the "Pele"?

[Jaybsty]

Did anyone see John Morrison do a Pele on the last Smackdown? Do you think he'll start using it regularly? I also noticed DH Smith has been using the Angle Slam lately.

And? They're good moves. I hope he does use it regularly.

I've read some wrestlers get pissed that others are using their signature moves. I guess I'm wondering where you draw the line. I couldn't imagine anyone using the people elbow unless it was for fun or humour for example. I don't watch enough different wrestling to know if someone has used this before AJ in Japan or something.

Burchill's been doing Pele kicks for months.... And HE'S got a beer gut!


...I still don't get the point of the thread though - Did AJ 'invent' the Pele kick or sumthin'?

Did Pele invent the Pele kick?

 

[Airfixx]

LOL... I don't think even the Brazilians would bother with such unnecessarily fancy footwork!

Just 1 more flashy move in the JoMo move set IMO (if in fact he keeps it). He needs to have less flashy shit if he is to be taken seriously as a Main Eventer IMO. It's OK having flashy moves and been a spot monkey. But that only gets you so far. You cant keep putting yourself through that shit day in day out. So for me he needs to tone down the flashy stuff. But then is he gonna have the crowd behind him?. I think he is good enough with out all that crap to make as a Main Eventer. But thats just me.

I don't understand the Morrison/spot-monkey backlash.... We've 'all' seen him have killer matches that haven't just been flip aft flip after flip.

When he was a heel though. As a face the only thing that keeps the attention is needless FLIPZ. Needs more Palace of Wisdom. God those promos owned so hard.

He's been doing the Pele for quite some time now...as well as Burchill.
Morrison's flippy shit is awesome, it's part of his character. He works great matches regardless. I thought it was pretty sick this past week when he did the matrix into the kip up into the pele, that was crazy shit.

And the point of this thread is...? A move is a move wanna talk about move stealing. The Womens divison steals moves. Michele does the Styles Clash. Melina basically does the DOA.

 

[Kizza]

Isn't Melina's finisher a leg drop? The one she's been doing for like 2 years?

 

[MizMasta3000]

She has more than one finisher. One is basically the DOA

 

[Airfixx]

^^^Yeah, Melina does that thing that looks a little like a Canadian Destroyer but not quite so rediculous (If that's a DOA then, aye....).

When he was a heel though. As a face the only thing that keeps the attention is needless FLIPZ. Needs more Palace of Wisdom. God those promos owned so hard.

"Palace Of Wisdom" ftw!

So... It could be argued then ( again :sigh: ) that we're in the realms of crap booking and writing again rather than there being something wrong with his skills? ...S'funny how some guys get 'excused' whilst others get cast as shit or a spot-monkey. :roll:

(Not aimed AT you btw, Kizza)

All that said, his matches with Edge, Punk, Jericho & Hardy pior to his IC reign this year were damn good... Especially for free TV!

I believe JoMo is only a spot monkey. Some guys that have more wrestling talent are looked over because their counter part can do a flippy flippy and a 345 degree spinning Roundhouse kick so they go over more. Im accusing myself of this because I am guilty of this. I used to like Morrison over Miz way back when because Morrison's moves were cool and Miz's sucked. Same with the Hardyz. I always thought Matt Hardy was just a boring guy and I still do but for that reason, I thought Jeff was better in the ring.
