Now onto Morrison.
I still don't get it, honestly, I have never seen him as a top guy. I've said before that Starship pain is a shit finish as there's no impact with the move, the moonlight drive was much better IMO. His promo's seem forced and un natural. His music and entrance are still the same as when he was a heel. If someone just turned on Smackdown for the first time in a few months, you wouldn't know he was a face. I know it's all about subtle differences, but this is too subtle IMO.
He could be fucking fantastic, please don't get me wrong, he has all the tools, but some of the moves he does are just stupid, that wheelbarrow leg drop makes no sense, there's no reason for him to add in some flips, it doesn't make the move look any better, he's got a few others as well.
I know he's been having some good matches (not great, good) recently, and I would like to see him make that step up to the main event, but he needs to change some things about him first before I fully buy it.

First off, I think Mysterio would be up there with Taker as having 'top face' status with Morrison below them.
I feel where you're coming from. Especially with the Starship Pain finish. And while I've really enjoyed the matches he's had since coming to Smackdown, I think he's just one big feud away from breaking through and being seen as a legit main eventer. Sorta like the same situation Jeff Hardy was in 18-24 months ago, to how he is perceived now.
