I think Booker's just jelly he can do the spinaroonie better/finally saw the clip where he hesitated when asked if he could do one on tough enough.

But seriously I don't think we can complain about anyone else in the company being buried, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. I remember after TLC the dirt sheets were saying that backstage felt he had a starmaking breakout performance~

Man, thank god Gail Kim wasn't dating anyone in the company.

I agree. It's like a public shaming at this point. Also, I totally expect a Morrison push soon, because TLC, Royal Rumble, and EC are coming. People will pay to see him do crazy stuff during those PPV's. WWE knows that.

I can see that you're a Morrison fan, but you're grossly overestimating how much of an impact he'll have on the buyrates.

Booker's awesome. He had a brain fart and forgot Parkour Guy's name, who cares, everyone has brain farts.

[The Tee Why]

When Morrison is on screen people should be talking about morrison, and when morrison isnt on screen they should be asking things like "Wheres john morrison? I sure wish john morrison were here"

Things like that

"Whats his name? I forgot =)"

[nWoElite]

Who knew snubbing a former women's champ would have such backlash for a career?

As for JoMo's push, you can't get mad at Booker for what he said. JoMo lost his push a few years ago. He could have had a spot and I honestly thought he gave the ECW Championship some credibility again. I'm not sure where, but somewhere along this line he fell off. As I think about this while typing, I think maybe when he teamed up with the Miz. Awesome tag team, but like with all TT one gets looked at more then the other and Miz happened to stand out.

Boy if that doesn't tell you where John Morrison stands with the company than I don't know what you'd believe.
Actually, I do, Booker T. is horrid at his job.

last sentence is the truest thing I've ever read

[FinalGwen]

We need Matt Striker back. He's just as enthusiastic about the product, but less... Stupid. Sure, he makes up unlikely backstories, but at least he remembers people's smegging names.

Are people liking Booker ironically?

I mean, I thinks he okay, but this is awful that he forgets someones name and people are happy about it. If Cole or Lawler did it there would be hate threads. And no, Booker is not better than them otherwise to justify it. Cole has to correct him on numerous things a week

It's awesome because he's doing it to Morrison, and because the place holder name he came up with "That Parkour Guy" is hysterical. Booker is the best damn thing going for commentary in WWE now. Who cares if he forgot some bland guy's name.

Nothing against Booker for it, it just shows how low Morrison is on the totem pole. I mean, could you imagine an announcer forgetting Rey Mysterio's name? Or Cody Rhodes? But still, that's a hell of a brain fart to have.

Booker T should run with it. Next week he can refer to Julius Caesar as the "dead salad dude".

When Morrison was on Smackdown after they split up, he looked much better than Miz. He was putting on awesome matches every week and looked like a real star. He's even looked like a star on RAW, specifically last year when he was feuding with Sheamus.

They just need to either commit to pushing him, or commit to jobbing him out. Morrison is easily the worst case of a yo-yo push I've ever seen.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

I thought this would have been about Matt Cross, maybe Booker can call Sin Cara that guy with the black mark on his boot

[nate5054]

They need to have Morrison feud with King about not having a personality. That's a winning idea.

[breakdownthewalls]

This has to be intentional.

Morrison loses every week, now commentary can't even remember his name.

They're gonna reinvent him as an anti-authority guy, right? Bring back the Palace of Wisdom and have him give epic anti-corporate promos and have a weird aura about him again. Please?!

He's going to leave.

[Burst]

If he's really leaving soon, I honestly wouldn't put it past Vince to order the announcers not to mention him by name so people start to forget about him.

[jadison]

Out of my fandom for Booker T, I officially believe that this was a rib on John Morrison, rather than Booker just straight up forgetting. Really, either way it looks bad for John-boy.

If they're willing to do that, that's exactly why he needs to get away from them. Professional sports teams don't act like someone never existed just because they change teams after their contract expires. Most TV series don't Stalinize people either. Might write them off casually, but they might also bring them back or reference them. It's not like he's quitting or trying to get himself fired.

But WWE is too good for that, you see, because they're the most ethical and respectable company to ever walk the planet.

Man, that's crazy. Just cause they don't mention him doesnt mean we'll forget his name is........uhhhh.........wait, wait a minute, it's on the tip of my tongue..........It's Paul, right?

How do you know the guy isn't being a prick backstage or something, or trying to get fired? Sure worked for Carlito! Its not always "WWE is being mean" you know?

The difference here is that Carlito didn't have his contract up for ages and wanted out badly. There was no other way for him.

John Morrison's contract is up soon, and WWE has given him no reason to re-sign. Quite the opposite, actually.

I'm not saying WWE is always the antagonist, but they could've handled themselves much better here if they actually were in the right and they have not.
