You know who I feel sorry for (ECW and SD spoiler)
Johnny Nitro (Now John Morrison).
He won the ECW title in wierd circumstances. Nobody really talked about it, dismissed it during all the Benoit news. Now he changes his name, leaving the Nitro name behind, and SD gets a new champion, which once again overshadows his announcement. (Hell, there was more coverage when Albert changed his name to A-Train!!!) |

Damn, I just made another thread about this. Sorry about that.
John Morrison is an awful name. It just is. Morrison just sounds too friendly. I almost understand changing Johnny, as "Johnny" is more a nickname than an actual birth name, but Johnny Nitro was much better than John Morrison. Morrison isn't even his last name, is it? John Hennigan was what he won Tough Enough 3 under. This might just be my opinion, but Hennigan sounds much better than Morrison, as well. |

Does anybody remember...
"WTF, Diesel and Razor Ramon are Kevin Nash and Scott Hall now? That's retarded. That'll never work." I don't care what he calls himself, John Whatever is the first thing I've ever found worth watching on ECW (the new ECW or the old ECW) and he will be the next great superstar in wrestling if he stays healthy. As far as his name, if Shawn Micheals had been Mike Hickenbottom, he'd still have been the best. Stone Cold Steve Williams would have been just as great as Stone Cold Steve Austin. I think Johnny Nitro sounds cooler than John Morrison, but it doesn't make him any less great. |

Stone Cold Steve Williams would have sucked a dick, as would Mike Hickenbottom. I mean, talented people behind the gimmick, but just awful names. In the case of Mike Hickenbottom, the reason he went under Shawn Michaels was because of how awful Mike Hickenbottom is. I don't think these are even apt comparisons, anyway. Hennigan isn't even using his real name. It'd be like Shawn Michaels being called Peter Templeton. It's just stupid. Don't get me wrong, I still love Johnny Nitro. I'm just going to miss his old name. I guess I might warm up to it, though. What would help me is if Joey Matthews was re-signed by the WWE as Joey Mercury (again), and John Morrison and Joey Mercury kicked up a storm on ECW. |

I think he's suppossed to be in a new rockstar gimmick based on Jim Morrison. Other than that, it might've been a way to make the crowd forget about his past as Johnny Nitro and start seeing him as a new main eventer.

He was awesome as Johnny Blaze, Johnny Spade, and Johnny Nitro, he is still awesome now. I think the main thing was to get him away from the gay A-list gimmick and sever all ties with Melina so he can actually get a push. Hopefully it works out for the best because he is the closest thing I have to a favorite wrestler at the moment. (bring back Chris Jericho)

Did they change his theme? If they did, then this name change will work.

They changed his theme, and it's the only thing more generic than his name.

The History:
1. John Hennigan ( Tough Enough ) 2. Johnny Blaze ( Wwe debut on Raw as Eric Bischoff's apprentice ) 3. Johnny Spade ( March 8,2004 on Raw ) 4. Johnny Nitro ( his new name Johnny Nitro was announced by the ring announcer when he participated as a special refree on Raw ) 5. June 7,2004- Nick Eugene Dinsmore defeats Nitro and as per a prematch stipulation he was fired from Raw. 6. John Morrison ( ECW World Champion ) Source: obsessedwithwrestling.com |

He is now a new age Jim Morrison. This does not bode well. Horrible Gimmick.

What better way to showcase the new wellness program than to emulate a rockstar who died of heart failure at 27.
They say when they performed the autopsy the inside of his body looked like an 80 yr old subject who had abused drugs and alcohol their whole life. |
