Let me guess, John Morrison took the fall.

It's such a shame that he gets buried for being a nice guy, yet they had no problem letting a thug like JBL run a muck (lol at getting your ass knocked the f**k out by Joey Styles as well)

If he'd cracked a few heads backstage he'd be the WWE champion.

This is a guy the fans could have got behind instead of Alberto "no crowd reaction" Del Rio.

Is he really the first guy to be pussywhipped by a skank?

Should do well in really well in TNA, he's a level above Ken Anderson.

If he wasn't whipped by Melina who everyone hates he'd probably be doing alright. I agree with most of your sentiments though, I'm not super high on the guy, but I've seen worse wrestlers hold major titles.

Just on your JBL point, is there truth to the rumor that he put a live badger in Miz's car when he first started out? Also it's funny to see him back pedal now when he talks about treating him like shit now "I was only trying to see how badly he wanted it, I always thought he had talent." The guy seems like a massive tool, in the Hardcore Holly class.

I don't think it's the fact that everybody hates Melina more the fact that he has the backstage rep as a puss (which matters to Vince because he's a moron).

I'm actually not super high on the guy either when you look at talent across the industry but when we're just talking the "WWE universe" then it's a no brainier. There is no question in my mind that the fans would get behind him on a push and he does work well in the ring for WWE style.

The live badger story is probably true. I guess he had to find a new and creative ways to haze rookies. Threatening to rape people (although under the legal definition he did) soaping up peoples asses and fingering in the showers. A real low life piece of shit if you ask me.

I think he is seen as a puss as there are numerous stories of Melina sleeping with other wrestlers, and Morrison doing nothing, and its not just VKM who thinks he is a pussy

I think I don't like him because he's patronising us a little bit. And you know, the more I think about it I don't think he wants to be a WWE star. I think he wants to flip, act, run and do all the things that make up their genre.

Who gives a shit about his backstage rep? He's got the rep of a nice guy who's not confrontational. Some people think he's a puss. So what?

That doesn't fly with VKM because he's a ego manic roid head. It could be worse though, Morrison could be Asian. If being a tough guy is so important than why is Toshiaki Kawada not a ten time WWE champ? Oh yeah, he's a Jap.

Shawn Micheals' is nothing more than a little bitch and VKM always had his back not matter what. I'll never understand this guy.

Every time he seems to get a push Melina pisses someone off and he gets buried again. This time it was her giving Trish the cold shoulder.

As I said, he's not the greatest character, but worse have held world titles. He gets a decent crowd reaction, even when he's doing nothing in the mid card.

So you can rape someone backstage or shoot (not stiff) on someone in the ring and that's no problem but give someone the cold shoulder and you're done? Well, Rhino got fired for breaking a pot plant so double standards are no problem in this company.

Melina is fired she should be a non issue. The whole thing is too complex and I don't really know what's going on so I'd rather ignore it. One minute Morrison is pimping out Melina to half the roster, the next he is pussy whipped.

As for Morrison as a character. No one else in the company who had been given such little narrative is that over so I completely disagree. He would also be the fourth best worker on the main roster behind Danielson, Punk and Christian. That doesn't really say much for the WWE but that's a side issue. It's just another guy who the ball has been dropped on.

And most people actually have kind words to say about Melina from what I've read.

She is definitely not another Sunny.

But back to this discussion, aside from Foley I can't think of anybody who's said anything nice about Melina. Even in the Hardcore Diaries, Foley mentioned she was unpopular backstage.

This has rubbed off on Morrison, but there's other issues there. He constantly ignores what the company wants from him. Michaels recently spoke about how he worked with Morrison and told him to cut some of the flashy moves and show some real intensity in the ring, which he did for a match and drew a good reaction but he quickly reverted back to his general standard.

On the mic. these days he's abysmal and some of the promos he's cut are easily the worst in the company and as a worker his matches can be inconsistent. At his best, he's working against somebody who can structure a match and really bring a crowd into it (Sheamus, Mysterio, Punk) and at his worst it's just sloppy.

And sure, if he appeased those that mattered I'm sure these faults would be ignored, but he hasn't, so he's basically on a one way train to TNA.

I think everyone was moreso pissed off with the Trish incident because Morrison/Melina were disrespecting a WWE legend, than because they gave her the cold shoulder.

He wouldn't be in the top 10 workers for me in the company though. Whilst he's good to watch in the ring, he can't cut a decent promo to save his life.

*Is Sheamus' gimmick just being super smiley now?

*John Laranaitis is terrible on the Microphone.

*I'm pretty sure the Mexican crowd for the most part had no idea what was going on.

*Good to hear an "asshole" chant again. I hate "you suck you suck"

*LOL...JR

*Miz was totally right...Miz and R-Truth have Punks gimmick. why did they have to make punk face!! They coulda kept him in the same character but just fought heels. Steve Austins persona didnt change one bit when he became a fan favourite.

*shitty raw. I feel like my return to being a wrestling fan may be coming to an end.
