I guess its not a big deal, but i just watched a replay of ECW on my DVR and i have to say
I literally choked on my water when i saw that freakin monkey flip
Never seen anyone do 1 and half when selling a monkey flip
Kudos to John Morrison
i also thought the entire match was surprisingly very good

Morrison is an amazing wrestler
Too bad he sounds like a nervous high schooler trying to act cool while asking out a girl

Great in-ring talent , but by no means should be the top heel of any brand. Agreed, but there's always the chance he'll improve. .... He's just not a main eventer at this point (In my eyes) Shelton Benjamin has shown me that even the absolute worst promo guys can get great at it. |

Morrison's definitely coming into his own as a wrestler. I just wish the same would happen with his mic work.

Morrison is easily the most talented of the "young guys" in the company currently. He does stuff that literally makes my jaw drop. I am so excited about watching this guy became a main eventer in the next few years. He is literally "can't miss"

Morrison has done this spot for around a year now...The first time I saw it, I too was in awe...I think it was in one of the triple threat matches with Carlito and Benjamin when he first done it...

BUMP to the original poster! I only caught the replay of said monkeyflip, but when I saw it I went: "Oh!!! f***!"  |

I wish Morrison would have won the ECW title back by now. Morrison and Burke are head and shoulders above anyone else in ECW it isn't funny.

Yeah, he's done it for a while now, but it still doesn't make it any less awesome.

^ If it would be based on in ring skills alone, Morrison would hold all three brands world titles by now... (imo no one in the company is better). But for some reason, he is not as popular as he should be.

But for some reason, he is not as popular as he should be. He's not that good. Nowhere near. Morrison can't really make his matches exciting to the audience, apart from the random acrobatic flips he does. He's ideally a solid midcarder right now, but he's been put into one of the top spots on ECW because there's nobody else there. Plus, I don't think anybody understands his gimmick since it was never explained properly. Doesn't help. |

His gimmick is that he is the Shaman of Sexy and anyone who doesn't follow him into the Portal Of Infinite is a blind sheep of whatever face he's feuding with. Wrestling-wise, he has a face's moveset. He doesn't know how to wrestle a match where he can convincingly put the crowd favorite in peril because he's too busy setting up his next big flashy flip. A show-off doesn't really fully translate into a serious villian. The other problem is that I can't see him cutting an effective good guy promo- his presence just screams "ass". Maybe he could prove me wrong in that regard, but i don't see it. Therefore, I feel a little bad for Morrison. |

For example, talking. He's actually given some of the better scripted lines, but when he starts to talk, they mean nothing because he doesn't have the skills to say them in a way where it doesn't put the audience to sleep. |
