John Morrison > AJ Styles
 
Before everyone gets on my case for hating AJ Syles, this is coming from a non-hate perspecitve.

I am just saying right now, as of this second with current abs. It seems much more likely that John Morrison could get a world title shot (ECW), if not win it before AJ Styles could get a TNA title shot.

Discuss.

John Morrison is fucking amazing. AJ Styles is on TNA.

McLegend 05-10-2008 11:10 AM

John Morrison still a little to green to better then AJ.

Jura 05-10-2008 11:34 AM

I didn't like AJ at first but then I was watching him when some of the TNA wrestlers were in Japan and I started liking him.

FourFifty 05-10-2008 11:52 AM

The man did a moonsault while holding a ladder. The only thing that can top that is if he had a gun that shot lightning.

Kane Knight 05-10-2008 12:22 PM

From a poll about two wrestlers who I like and think are talented, to a poll about two guys I couldn't give a shit about if you paid me...

I voted equal, because shit is shit. Ironically, I'll probably get less criticism for calling both these guys ass than for saying I like Jericho, but think his recent work has been sloppy and sub-par.

Mercury Bullet 05-10-2008 12:34 PM

I think given their current situations, AJ Styles could get a title shot sooner. Simply because he is in TNA and Vince "Bat Swingin' Fool" Russo is at the helm. TNA is sometimes unpredictable, but not in a way thats like "Wow this is exciting!", more of a "What the fuck is going on?"

Mooияakeя™ 05-10-2008 01:28 PM

Both are pretty cool imo. Just wrong time for them, wrong writers for them.

Anybody Thrilla 05-10-2008 01:52 PM

I don't dislike AJ Styles, but I am a huge Morrison mark. I remember liking him all the way back when Tough Enough was on MTV, and he's come such a long way. He's only going to keep getting better, and I am excited at the prospect.

The Optimist 05-10-2008 01:58 PM

Both do crazy moves. Both have a look about them. Morrison can't get over, and can't cut a promo. Styles is a goof who also can't cut a serious promo. They're both pretty much equal.

I wonder how they're trying to book Morrison right now? He's a heel, but he's obviously not doing anything heelish next to beating faces and hanging out with The Miz. I guess that's enough these days? At least Styles has direction, even if it's TNA direction.

Is it that you think they're boring or that you don't like their ring-work?

Hanso Amore 05-10-2008 02:10 PM

Morrison shouldnt have been pushed single so quick. He went from being a guy with abs on a team to a single guy with abs. He never really got to Grow into a character. He has gotten much better, but still needs time. I think he can be a main eventer though, and within 2 years.

Styles will never be better than he is now, so I went Morrison.

I think it's his cocky attitude and feeling that he is better than absolutely everyone that's supposed to make him a heel, but the fact that he actually backs it up does make him a little harder to hate. You know, I'd almost even say that Morrison and Miz are more like tweeners right now.

The Optimist 05-10-2008 02:24 PM

When he was he pushed as a single? ECW counts?

Anybody Thrilla 05-10-2008 02:25 PM

He was an Intercontinental champion (while on Raw) and ECW Champion for a pretty decent amount of time. He went over CM Punk numerous times....are you really going to discredit all of that?

The Optimist 05-10-2008 02:45 PM

I looked at "pushed as a single" with more of a main event in mine. Even then, if you want to talk about being in character, he had to change personas by the time he got to ECW.

Either way. I see where your coming from now, but I don't think that's his only problem. He's yet to come up with a good promo or get over from his looks alone like Jeff Hardy has.


Again, he's absolutely nuts awesome in the ring.

Anybody Thrilla 05-10-2008 02:50 PM

He's got some great charisma. He's hilarious on The Dirt Sheet, but it's hard to cut promos for a character that isn't 'you' (i.e. movie star, rock legend) which is what he has portrayed thus far. At least now they seem to be letting him use some of his own characteristics in his on-screen character. Even Steve Austin was a shity Ringmaster.

Just listen to him and Miz on commentary. Hilarious, both of them.

Mr. JL 05-10-2008 02:51 PM

I remember him doing a split legged moonsault (like RVD used to do) but added a corkscrew twist to it that looked pretty fucking amazing.

Yes.

The Optimist 05-10-2008 03:45 PM

So, both?

The One 05-10-2008 03:45 PM

AJ does AMAZING spots. They're done without build up or warrent, but physically he impresses me with what he can do. John Morrison once did a promo that I didn't totally hate. I'm going with AJ, though neither is worth my nickel.

Yup.

St. Jimmy 05-10-2008 04:19 PM

Morrison is not only more talented in the ring than AJ, he's also better on the stick.

Helen Keller is better on the stick. What's your point?

Oh, you need a point to make posts in the Wrestling Forum? Did Noid get the memo?

The One 05-10-2008 04:26 PM

Nah, I asked both the Bashams and Val if they would let me tattoo the memo on their stomach, but they said no. So I ran out of ideas of how to get it in front of Noid's eyes.

I thought it was fairly obvious that the point was to compare John Morrison and AJ Styles, as the thread encourages, you silly goose!

St. Jimmy 05-10-2008 04:27 PM

well for Val it would be the stomach, but for Doug you should try a Tramp Stamp.

Anybody Thrilla 05-10-2008 04:27 PM

All I know is if there were a thread comparing two wrestlers I didn't like or care about, I probably wouldn't post in it.

The One 05-10-2008 04:30 PM

If I didn't post in a thread with wrestlers that I didn't care about I would have like 3 posts by this point. :p

Anybody Thrilla 05-10-2008 04:32 PM

Three very excellent posts they'd be, I'm sure.

Noid butches Doug? I guess Doug just got use to being on bottom in WWE.

The best burger in the world or McDonalds? I'm going for brand recognition with Tovo Inc. :y:

Anybody Thrilla 05-10-2008 04:38 PM

Coca Cola....McDonald's.....Vincent Chase

The One 05-10-2008 04:40 PM

LoL! I just watched that episode the other day over at a friends house.

(P.S. need to spread some rep around, but I'll hit ya for it)

KingofOldSchool 05-10-2008 06:59 PM

Morrison's improving his character through The Dirt Sheet and AJ I just found to be totally overrated.

Porcupine 05-10-2008 07:23 PM

John Morrison's abs >>>> Joey Styles entire career.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-11-2008 05:09 AM

John Morriosn doesn't allow comparisons to AJ Styles in the Palace of Wisdom.

Kane Knight 05-11-2008 07:14 AM

Why are so many people gay for Morrison's abs?

BigDaddyCool 05-11-2008 10:17 AM

Because they are gaytastic.
