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. 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? Only difference, so far, between him and Carlito is that Morrison didn't go to several mainstream news outlets bitching about his treatment in WWE. And yet they didn't fire him after ANY of them.

If he goes,he goes. Theyve already tried to make him a star several times and it hasnt worked. If he thinks going to tna will help his career,cool.
There's a million people who will gladly take his spot,and probably about that amount who deserve it.
It's got to be tough on melina though. I mean how is she going to work in batista time when johns home?
Dont worry as mike knox proves,shes a multi tasker and john will just drive her to the dates.

I guarantee Booker knows who John Morrison is and intentionally used the line he did.

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. How did you figure me out? But really, have you seen the commercial for TLC? I did and about 50% of it is highlights from JoMo's match with Sheamus at last year's event. Come Royal Rumble time, they are going mention the "ninja spot" more than anything. Then, for EC, you know we're going to see the "spiderman spot" a bunch of times too. People love that stuff and tune into to see it. I'm not saying he's the only reason why people will buy those ppv's, but he is someone they'll want to watch, if only to see what crazy thing he'll do this year.

Sort of enjoyed watching Barrett beat the crap out of that Parkour Guy tonight.

Good lord that was so funny. "That young man, whats his name? uh...Parkour Guy? You know who I'm talking about" It'd be one thing if it were intentional, but Booker really was struggling to tell us the name of the jobber Mark Henry destroyed this past week. LMAO. Why am I just hearing about this? Oh, yeah, I don't watch the shows, only read the spoilers and boards. Anyway, that's pretty sad. Sad and yet, funny.

God, Booker is such an awful commentator. Put him back in the ring already.

WWE has established Morrison as that Parkour guy. His whole gimmick is him doing Parkour moves. I mean it could be worst. Booker could had called him "That Pussy whipped Guy".

Let me remind you of a young man named Shelton Benjamin. It's not a long or fancy story, just that Shelton made a name for himself arguably stealing the show everytime he appeared in a MiTB match. He was released last year, yet despite that we've yet to see much reaction from anyone saying stuff like "This isn't the same without Shelton." I know you like Jomo, but frankly the dude is replaceable. Hell, this year alone he wasn't in either MiTB matches. So i hardly believe the WWE are going to hit the panic button and feel it is of upmost importance to secure Morrison a spot at TLC.

No one cares about JoMo now. WWE have succeeded. When I saw him come out I instantly thought "who's he jobbing to this week?"
He's done, it's over. Let's just do what WWE wants and forget about him and move on.

LOL. Yeah, I clearly have a type... But seriously, I miss them both and wish they were back in The WWE... I know I'm biased, but I don't see how JoMo's replaceable. He can do things no one else can do. Who else in the WWE right now could/would have done the spots he did at TLC/RR/EC/ER? He was one of the highlights of those PPV's. How about how the World's Strongest Slam we saw last week? It takes 2 guys to put on an spot like that. It wasn't just Henry alone. Morrison helped make that move look amazing. Amazing enough that they've shown it a number of times this week. I think that if he was winning more matches and not being booked into so many squashes, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. I think he's made mistakes in his career, but he's also at the mercy of the WWE and Creative. They've made him look like crap. Plus, he's not alone - look at the recent treatment Alex Riley, Wade Barrett, and Daniel Bryan have received. It's the same. We single Morrison out, but we could easily talk about any of those guys. I see and respect where you're coming from, but I just don't agree. Maybe I'm a sucker and a mark, but I refuse to give up on Morrison. I'm going to fight for him until the bitter end or things change. I also know I'm part of a small group right now, but I never was one to follow the crowd.

Forgetting someone's name doesn't make you awesome. If you like Booker, fine, but this isn't cool.
I find him entertaining, but he's not good at this job. Cole has to correct and when needed to make a point, he almost always faulters.

I'm a huge fan of his out of pure respect for his wrestling ability (people can talk about parkour all they want, but I was lauding his technical wrestling expertise that he used to focus on back before he started flying around all the time), but I am 100 percent sure that he's leaving the company. His contract is almost up, and they are doing everything in their power to totally marginalize him. I think he should get away from them anyway. They don't respect him and they've certainly never done anything to show otherwise. The sooner he's out from their clutches, the better.

You have got to be kidding me. Multi-time tag and IC champ, treated as a huge deal on ECW and equal to Cena on multiple occasions, beating one of the chosen few in Sheamus on several occasions just least winter and, getting several WWE title shots. Yeah, no respect for him
