The sad thing is Mercury was the more talented half of MNM back in the day...killer in the ring, advanced on the mic; I thought he'd be a main eventer someday.

Mercury is Bob Holly from the New Midnight Express.
Probably have an uneventful if somewhat memorable career, and is currently in creative limbo(before his accident).

That doesn't work because the only reason HHH eclipsed Michaels was because Michaels wasn't there for five years. And he was spending his last run doing penance for burials by putting everybody over And Hunter has actually been in MOTY matches. Miz has barely gotten MOTN matches. I'm not even sure Miz has had a match. I figured he just liked to do in-ring skits in his wrestling trunks.

I HATE HATE HATE the whole Jannetty thing. If Morrison was really the Jannetty, he would have already been fired. This. Not every team has to be the Rockers, DAMN IT.

Bombastic Bob or Bodacious Bart

Here's a fun little fact for you all: Shawn Michaels is a 3x Intercontinental Champion. His 2nd reign as champion ended when he was stripped of the title, his 3rd and last by forfeiture. So, what does this tell us? There is only ONE man in history who's beaten Shawn for that championship.
The history making man is man is none other than his former tag team partner, who also went onto have an (albeit, extremely breif) Tag Team Championship reign with another partner. And mind you, this is back when the Tag and Intercontinental titles really meant something...
So why do have the term "The Jannetty"? Did Jim Neidhart ever win a tag title with another partner? Or beat Bret for one? Or beat Bret, PERIOD? "Stevie Ray is better than Jannetty, he was a WCW announcer". Hmmm, have a shining moment where you beat your former partner for a championship or sit behind a microphone and watch other people do it?
Jannetty's awesome, but haters gonna hate.

I'd say the MNM-Rockers comparison is way more valid than the whole Miz/Morrison one. In MNM Mercury was the guy that seemed to have a better future and just like the Rockers version of Micheals, Nitro (Morrison) was the flashier member though Mercury was vastly better in the ring and on the mic as Jannetty was. However the Armaggedon clusterf*** tag team ladder match changed all this and basically ruined his whole career.
Morrison went on to win the ECW Title and tagging with Miz and becoming a guy who looks like he is one big feud from becoming a big main eventer, hopefully with a feud with Jericho. So while right now he might not be high up as Miz (MITB, US Champion, Awesome feud with Danielson) it's not like he's utter crap and has been a multi-time IC Champion and isn't being forgotten as he was in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Title and usually has PPV matches so I don't see the Jannetty comparisons at all, actually he might be a world champion this time next year!

Honestly, I've always thought it should be The Neidhart myself. Janetty just flows better.

Another reason I hate the comparison of every single team with the Rockers its that it shows just how downplayed tag teams are these days. Tag teams are NOT try-outs for future singles stars--stars can and do emerge from tag teams, but that should not be the point of them.

And as far as Robbie Rage (I almost typed that as "Rabbi Rage"), wasn't he Tag Champion with Judy Bagwell once? And as long as we're mentioning low-card WCW Tag Teams, how about that Disorderly Conduct, eh? Mercury is like the Ralphus to Chris Jericho Would that make CM Punk the Norman Smiley, then?

Tommy Rogers, Marty's original partner in a tag team known as the Uptown Boys. With a name like that, I really hope they came out to 'Uptown Girl' by Billy Joel at least once.
