I think their work in the ring is basically the same. Going out of their way to hit high spots. Totally cancles one another out.
Lita I think was involved in more memorable moments. Neither is stading up to time very well butI think the memory of Lita will out last Morrison. |

Loved JoMo when he wasn't a jobber.

JoMo!
He was much better in the ring. Lita was a bigger star but it's not like she had a ton of competition in the women's division. Much easier to stand out. I'll give an entertaining guy who was middle of the pack the edge over a "main event" diva every time. |

Lita for me
- More memorable moments - Involved in main event angles - Innovator and inspiration to woman's wrestling, changing perceptions - Much bigger legacy in WWE Morrison was nice to watch at times, but was even more cardboard than Lita and I struggle much more to remember a Morrison highlight reel, than a Lita one. In an era where WWE need bodies to fill brands, they haven't rushed him back |

Went with Lita mainly for similar reasons with the AJ-Reigns matchup.
Feel Lita did more with the stuff given to her and had more big memorable moments at least in the WWE compared to Morrison. Like Reigns, Morrison had the big advantage of having more stuff possible to do but overall felt Lita was the bigger star of the two in the end. Morrison lacking a big memorable rival like Lita had with Trish was also another reason for leaning towards voting for Lita. |

Are you fucking joking? You have to be joking. Do you watch Lucha Underground at all?
The answer to this poll is John Morrison by a marginable margin. Lita fucking sucked in the ring. She was a shit promo. She just looked pretty good and was a nice pairing for Edge for being a real life slut. John Morrison was also a shit promo, but he has had some of my favorite matches ever. Rey Mysterio on Smackdown and Evan Bourne in ECW to name a couple. His Lucha Underground work is incredible. The In Crowd is one of my favorite tag teams of all time, and The Dirt Sheet alone should win this for him. Don't be silly, y'all. |

I actually didn't really care much for Johnny Nitro. Thought he was just another bland, vanilla guy with no discernible personality. Hated when he won the ECW title. As soon as he took on the John Morrison gimmick though, I became a huge fan. It's amazing what a few little tweaks can do to make a guy stand out.

I'm going with Morrison on this one. I think he was ahead of his time a bit, and some perceived backstage issues of him not being an alpha douche may have gotten in the way of how seriously he was taken. Melina caused a lot of problems for him and he kind of got Chris Candido'd.
In the ring, I have enjoyed Morrison a lot more. There are quite a few hilarious Morrison promos out there too -- mainly from his time with The Miz. That team was seriously great. Lita was more of a star, but she was also in an era where there was more of a platform to achieve that. Her ring work never really left me clamoring for more. When it comes down to who I'd rather pick for my team, I think there is a lot you can do with Morrison. Lita, on the other hand, as over as she is, would be exposed very quickly. Part of her charm was small doses with a Litacanrana here or a Litasault there. |

Not really. If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it. That Morrison now works for a company that no one watches is just as consequential to the discussion as his actual work in that company.

Oh ive seen a match here and there. The product is the shits. High spots for the sake of high spots. Same garbage Morrison has done his whole career. Unbearable stuff.
(Lita was the same ftr) |

Side bar: tight poll. Expected JM to smash her just because he has a penis.

Morrison is more likely to watch someone else smash her.

Morrison is a better mother fucking wrestler than Lita. That's what I'm trying to say.

Lita. JoMo was pretty meh by himself. There's a reason the peak of his career was while teamed with Miz.

his peak was as a babyface on Smackdwon when he won the IC title. They just randomly stopped doing anything with him. I assume he lost favour after Davey Bats fucked his gal and he did nothing about it.

Fun fact I met both. Lita was nice, and was talkitive, and John was a dick. So that was deciding factor I went Lita

I went with John Morrison. While Lita was a bigger star, I think Morrison was better. I've seen him in person and he's a pro, and can work well with a lot of people.

Kindof a good segway from a female wrestler to a diva.
Still Morrison though. |

This is a tough one, I'll have to go with Morrison though. From an in-ring standpoint, both relied heavily on big spots to pop the crowd. Morrison to his credit did some absolutely batshit stuff, though.
I didn't really get burned out on Morrison as a character in WWE until around 2010, so there was a good 5 year stretch where I was really invested in him. And I've loved his Lucha Underground stuff. So really over the course of his career there was only like a 2 year run where I didn't care for him. Lita I only cared about for a short period of time. I give her credit for being influential for future generations (not having the prototypical "diva" look, doing cool stuff in the ring, etc.) but for a good portion of her career I'd groan whenever she walked out. Probably helps Morrison's cause that he was a far, far better talker than Lita. That's another big reason I was able to stay engaged with his work. Again I didn't really start to dislike him until 2010 or 11 when he became a whiny douche despite still being a face. |

Lita. She was way more to her division than Morrison ever thought of being. Not his fault, as he had the ability and potential to be much more than what he was given....

The fact that I remember absolutely nothing about his singles run except that he had that tag match at 'Mania where he snubbed Trish makes me have to disagree with you. The only stuff of his that I have any vivid memory of is his stuff with Miz. Of course that's just me, but it's still gonna affect my decision.

That makes it worse. He stood up FOR his cheating girlfriend. Guy went below Chris Candido level of pussitivity.

Some people have open relationships and shit. Whatever. There's probably some bullshit machismo thing in pro-wrestling about "letting" a guy fuck your missus though. In today's day and age it probably wouldn't get you much heat. It's just the way you go about it. I mean, DDP and Bischoff were fine.

Gotta give props to Lita for keeping this close. She's in striking distance with 24 hours to go.
