I see no possibility EVER of a successful Swagger Face Run, I dont see Cody (Mad over as a heel) working as a face, and even Ziggler doesnt work as a face.

Seems like outside of Bourne and Kofi, they havent been able to create a NEW face star in quite some time.

Some interesting thoughts on Morrison posted in here. Haven't we known about the dude being the kind to let his girlfriend fuck whoever she wants for a while, though? Also, that has no effect on my thoughts towards him. Morrison might be into that sort of thing, for all I know. Also, I kind of wish he'd let me fuck Melina.

Morrison still gets things resembling pushes. People act as if the guy isn't made to look like he deserves to be in the main event. For your average fan, Morrison is still one of the "rising stars" of today's era.

What "things resembling pushes"? When has he been "made to look like he deserves to be in the ME"?

The one WWE Title shot they gave him - which should have been HUGE given it was against his former partner, a man that had so much heat he made a rookie (Riley) into a sensation for a couple months whilst fueding with him - was on an episode of Raw. They didn't even give him the shot at the Rumble, where the Title/undercard matches mean squat.

He lost to R-Truth when he returned from an injury caused by Truth. When does that ever happen? That's "bad" storytelling. He also lost to Christian around the same time and Christian has hardly been built up as a "legitimate Main Eventer" himself. He takes the fall in every Tag/Multi-man match they put on.

He may look "good" when losing but in no way, shape or form are WWE presenting him as a guy that should be looking at a ME spot.

And really, I have no issue with that. It's Vince's company he can push who he likes. I find more annoyance in the "I now dislike JoMo cos his woman is a ho/crazy/deluded and he let's her get away with it" line of thought.

My thoughts on Morrison and Melina are pretty much a mixture of things that have been previously said.

I like Morrison, he can be great in the ring but he just needs to calm down on his "acrobatics". I've seen his matches where he rarely flips around the ring and they're good to watch. I'm not saying he should 100% stop with those moves, but recently, almost every single move he's pulled off in his matches has been some sort of flip, corkscrew, inside-out routine, and it just gets to the point where I'm "" at those moves.

Also, I feel he needs a gimmick. He doesn't really have one at the moment. I don't think "Parkour" is his official gimmick of sorts, because it's just such a bad one that I don't think someone would actually think that up for an official gimmick.

Writer 1 : We need a gimmick for Morrison.

Writer 2: Let's give him a gimmick where he runs around a lot and jumps on things.

Writer 1: Perfect!

Nah. I feel like in the gimmick department, he's a lot like David Otunga.

Otunga didn't really have a gimmick after the death of Nexus. Him and McGillicutty were just "Two Guys" and nobody cared about him and the IWC always said that he needed a gimmick, but as soon as Otunga got a gimmick which consisted of giving law advice and wearing bow ties and constantly drinking from a travel mug, the IWC fell in love with the guy.

I feel like Morrison needs something like that. Just a good gimmick thrusted upon him without notice. I'm not one of those guys who thinks a heel turn is always needed for a failing face, but maybe a heel turn would help him but I don't think he needs to turn heel.

What might help him, along with a gimmick, is a change in attire. His sparkly tights still have the association of his MNM days and he's worn them for around six years now. Maybe get some normal tights, with some sort of design/logo on them and distance himself from the past. Be it face or heel, an attire change, even as little as loss of sparkles/fur can have a big impact and make people become more interested in a wrestler.

Lastly, his mic skills are poor. I'm not going to beat around the bush with that. His mic skills are most likely his Achilles' Heel. He just doesn't have the enthusiasm for what he says. For example, if he being cocky and says he's going to kick a guys ass, he'll say it in a very monotone voice, then when he's angry about something, he'll voice his opinion but it'll be in the same monotone voice.

As for Melina, I've never really liked her. Her screaming was just diabolical and pissed me off like crazy, along with her constant insane murderer smile.

I don't miss her at all.

I won't comment on any of their personal lives though because it really isn't my place.

One thing that Paul Heyman was always very good at when it came to his wrestlers was he hid the negatives and accentuated the positives. With John Morrison, they haven't really been doing that, and its hurt him tremendously. The guy can't talk as a face. He's shown that as a cocky heel he can talk - he's no CM Punk or Miz or even Randy Orton, but he can cut a decent promo as a heel. But as a face, he's bland, boring and uninteresting, and he should be nowhere near a microphone.

What Morrison does best is put on fast paced, exciting matches. He should be showcased as such. Don't put him anywhere near a microphone. Let him be what Rob Van Dam was for ECW - a show off, cocky face, who goes out and does amazing moves in the ring and kicks people's asses. All action, very little talk.

I also agree that he needs a new look. The Morrison thing is kind of stupid considering the age of the audience, and it's also kind of stupid for those of us who DO get it, too. He's a rock star who doesn't play a fucking instrument. Yeah, THAT makes sense. His glittery pants and those gay frilly boots do nothing for his image, and neither does that horrendous furry coat he walks out in. That shit worked when he was a heel in MNM, but he's supposed to be "cool" now, and that attire is NOT cool. Look at the "cool characters" in movies and TV. None of them wear anything closely resembling what Morrison wears. He doesn't connect with the audience because there's nothing relatable about his current character.

They need to keep him off the mic, change his look and possibly his entrance music, maybe have him cut that ridiculous hair down a bit, and put him in the ring against opponents who can really "go" with him on his level.

He traded the fur coat for a leather one, that's something, right?
