Morrison is a guy I would love to see come back year round as long as he could be used right, and that doesn't mean wwe champion for 400 plus days. But world title feauds with Ziggler, Miz, Del Rio and stuff would be where i would want him.

Honestly I want him back only if we get the John Morrison we should never have lost. We if we got the John Morrison of the ECW times or the In Crowd days. I would be so happy, because at that time Morrison had much better mic skills. All of that went away when he became the parkour generic babayface. Sure he had cool looking moves but there was no character.
At less with the In Crowd or ECW Morrison he had cool lines in his promos like the Palace of Wisdom, the Gurus of greatness, The Tuesday or Friday night Delight and ext. Once he went to Raw all of that was gone. The guy is good enough in the ring yes. With the character I'm talking about he should be a Main Eventer. He looks like one. He wrestles like one outside I agree the Starship Pain needs to go. Since he never can hit it right. Go back to the Midnight Drive I say.
He can be used in different levels. Team back with Miz and a feud with the Shield would be awesome stuff. Help put live in the Tag Team Divison. Or have him on Smackdown feuding with Dolph which again nothing but awesome matches. The guy can work so well as the potential mic work is there and if he did improve while away he be worth it. He is much more complete the Kofi is. Kofi doesn't show any promise with a mic.

Maybe he already has and we just haven't noticed.

I enjoyed what I've seen of him (well, minus THAT Jeff Hardy promo) and would like to see him back.

Honestly they never should've changed his name to "John Morrison". Even with the gimmick change, they should've let him continue to be Johnny Nitro, or let him use his real name. I understand his resemblance to Jim Morrison and all, but WWE's target audience wouldn't get the connection at all.

Wealthy West Coast socialite has so much more that can be done with it in terms of storyline or character than "Guy who thinks he's a famous dead singer." The second one can be kind of funny, but when a guy plays it straight in an effort to be cool, it just comes off as being really, really lame.

He would not fit at all
The guy would have to be paid less and improve a hell of a lot more to be worth being there
Chances are he may return just to kind of be there, but he comes across as someone who wants to be at the top

Morrison sucks and we all know it. I'm sure he has many other talents but wrestling ain't it.

He has it all except mic skills and is lacking a bit when it comes to in-ring psychology. But he would be a damn good addition to WWE's roster right about now.
As long as he keeps his crazy girlfriend far away.

When they weren't pushing his "parkour" stuff, Morrison was one of the best in-ring competitors I've seen in recent years. His match against Sheamus at TLC is still my all time favorite one-on-one ladder match.
So obviously I'd love to have him back.

He is pretty good in the ring, but would probably be inserted lower in the card than he was when he left and I dont see anything for him besides helping get Miz over as a face.

I'm surprised at all the hate for Morrison and his Parkour gimmick. He was the guy I'd be most likely leave the channel on for during a period when I wasn't watching much wrestling and I thought the Parkour stuff was a really cool way to incorporate his natural athleticism into his matches.

It's not so much the parkour style that people hated so much as the stripping of his entire character once he turned face. If he wrestled that style, but still got to do the awesome promo work that he was doing as a heel, and dress in the elaborate fancy outfits that he was wearing in ECW, then his face stint would be better received. It's not that he was That Parkour Guy. It's that he was ONLY That Parkour Guy.

I just liked watching Morrison wrestle so I'd leave on Raw/Smackdown if I happened to flip over at a time when he was in the ring. I suppose if I were a regular viewer and he was just "That Parkour Guy" it would have gotten old for me too.

I doubt no one would really care or would of noticed that he was gone in first place.
Also like others have said if he does come back ditch the parkour gimmick as it lost its novelty after just a couple of months.

While JoMo is a personal fave, even the haters would know that at least his GF would improve locker room morale

I can't seem him doing anything different, or being much different. I'd rather see Shelton Benjamin return.

I loved John Morrison's first incarnation. He was a heel I guess but he was so far out there, like a hippie on a permanent acid trip.
