John Morrison: I hate him

    I have never once ever been entertained by this man. Everything from his style to attire just annoies the bejaysus out of me.

    His style seems way over choreographed and his matches are pish poor compared to other talents in the WWE.

    Also the amount of times I have seen him botch that corkscrew is sickening. If you can't do a move correctly then don't freakin do it.

    Anyone else here a Jomo hater or am I on my own?

    I think he's OK. He's best suited for spotfests rather than a rasslin match but he can have good matches. A heel turn is a must though. His character should not be a babyface.

    I don't mind him at all. Having him on my TV is far better than having Kofi Kingston on my TV. God I hate Kofi...

    I used to quite like him, I thought he had a few great matches with Sheamus and The Miz. But recently I think he's just been shit. All his matches seem to follow the same patterns and any talking segments involving him consistently bomb. He has no personality. And it doesn't really help that he's been feuding with R-Truth who isn't particularly great in the ring.

    I think he's impressive athletically and has a great look but his character and promos are the pits. I guess the stickler in his matches is that he's far more interested in flipping than winning the match, as opposed to doing spectacular moves to win the match.

    I could overlook that (because some of the things he does look incredible) if his character wasn't jar so much. It doesn't feel like he IS John Morrison; rather he's playing a character called John Morrison, and he's not too sure what that is.

    His run on Smackdown was really good, his title match with Jeff was easily 4 stars and nearly all of his work with Punk was awesome. Their is also some cracking matches with Jericho and Edge from WWE TV that are well worth a watch as well.

    So yeah I don't mind them that much at all.

    Him having a heel entrance as a baby face annoys me.

    Whatever happened Eric Bischoff's apprentice Johnny Nitro he had promo ability and charisma:



    Also this just coz:

    Yeah a character change is needed. He'd actually be far better than Dolph at playing the dominated boyfriend given he actually is one in real life :P. Maybe a heel turn and linking with Vickie might save him!

    But seriously, I think they should copy Shawn Michaels 1990s heel Heartbreak Kid gimmick.

    His character now is more like the phony & cheesy mid 90's face Hbk. I'd of turned him heel ages ago & put Melina managing him as the bitchy heel manager it wouldn't be a stretch for her. I hate the hbk comparisons it was like when they said Jeff hardy was like Hbk years ago when all they didn't have a lot in common wrestling wise.

    I hate him, he goes into the mould of Essa Rios for me, doing moves that look flashy but why bounce on the ropes and do all these flips when you then do a spinebuster? It wrecks my head.

    Although saying that my favourite match ever, is Johnny Nitro vs Jeff Hardy for the IC title in a ladder match on Raw. So its a strange one :D

    Give him Shelton's momma gimmick with Melina?? Have her come out and complain to win matches?? :eek: :pac:

    He is entertaining but yes I do agree. I can't help hating him for the crappy spiderman gimmick,I remember a few years ago at a show in the point he came out and gave Bischoff a birthday cake and then got the crap beaten out of him in the ring.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19 Nick_Angel


    Yeah I'm really not a fan. He is awful on the mic and his character is dreadful, I hate all those nicknames....the prince of parkour, sultan of cool or whatever it is. Awful. Talented guy but doesn't put a good match on consistently enough.

    If hes good enough for Zach Ryder's dad, he's good enough for me :P

    his match with rey on sd during the summer of 2009 is one of the best tv matches wwe have done this past decade without question
