JR said it during Morrison's entrance. I guess that means it's true.

Miz will go further in the WWE than John Morrison.

Heh...
John Morrison has been around for quite a long time now (measuring it in MNW-era time) and he hasn't been able to move up the ladder in a significant way...
His stint as Nitro in MNM went nowhere fast, then he got a single push that didn't go past the IC title, then changed his name and got another run with a midcard title, then he teamed up with The Miz and "dominated" the tag division [while getting their ass kicked by singles Superstars].
To me it's as if his career has gone full circle, without really leaving Square One or Two...
How many more chances will he get, before he's labelled with the Shelton's Mark of Midcard Excellence?

Miz will go further in the WWE than John Morrison. God I hope so. Miz has proven to be the HBK to Morrison's Jannety if you ask me. |

Remember when he said that about the Smoking gunns? To be fair, Mr. Ass' TNA name was once "Megastar" Kip James. ;D |

What about Edge, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, & Jeff Hardy? Just off the top of my head. Not everyone is going to be Brock Lesnar and be in main events right away. I'm not sure if Morrison will be a star or not, but its too early to say he's a bust. |

From debut in 1998 it took your favourite wrestler (at least in your sig) probably 7 years or more to really break the main event glass ceiling. Granted being injured for a year played a factor in it taking longer, but since Morrison has been on the active roster for 4 years (or 5 if you include his very first Johnny Nitro stint), he's definitely still got time to develop. Not to mention he's still only 29 and should be coming into his prime in the next few years going by the typical evolution of a major league pro wrestler. |

I'm not sure if Morrison will be a star or not, but its too early to say he's a bust. Even if a wrestler doesn't ever break into the main event or win a World title he's not a bust. Going by that criteria Curt Hennig, Scott Hall, and Christopher Daniels are all busts. Plus there is a difference between Shelton and Morrison. Shelton had been a wrestler pre-WWE, albeit a amateur wrestler. Amateur wrestlers usually transition better as in-ring perfomers but struggle to get down the other aspects of wrestling such as mike skills and charisma. Morrison started out as that one guy from TE that won a contract out of a motley crew of people that haven't done jack crap in the industry. He wasn't exactly expected to stick around 5 years, let alone get over (honestly besides himself, Miz, Boogeyman, and Kenny King, who has gotten over from TE?) So I'd say that even up to this point he's a success story. |

I'd have to agree. There's no way a guy as good as Morrison, with his look, isn't on the road to blue skies.
I see big things in the imminent future for Morrison.
....I'm still pissed the In-Crowd broke up though.

Honestly i think Miz and Morrison will both be big stars in the WWE, down the road. As soon as we get out of this current main event set that has been more or less the same people for like YEARS!! Some of these younger guys like Miz, Morrison, MVP maybe Shelton ( maybe don't kill me here), will step up

To me it's as if his career has gone full circle, without really leaving Square One or Two... How many more chances will he get, before he's labelled with the Shelton's Mark of Midcard Excellence? Three points: 1. To be on Shelton's level, Morrison would have to be put over by an established ME numerous times without staying over. Till then, he's just Edge, the Abridged Version. 2. Hennigan's singles stint as Nitro was a bust, but was picking up steam as John Morrison--as the ECW belt still had a glimmer of cred and was yet to become the other US title--but got cut off at the knees because he messed up. 3. We've learned from this that booking a dominant tag team in a non-existent division is not a very good idea. |
