JoMo joining TNA is the new D-Lo Brown is going to WCW. TNA is so unstable right now; I would have second, third, and fourth thoughts about committing to them.

"Wrestling is a business. TNA is like a really cool startup company. I've talked to several people in their organization, and I’m looking forward to hearing more about what they have to say. It’s business, brother. If they got some cool ideas and some cool stuff going on, of course I’m going to hear what they have to say."
I am in it to make money. Tna aren't a very big company, but I've talked to them and I look forward to hearing how much money they have to offer me. Remember though it's a business and if they'll compensate me well of course I'm going to hear what they have to say

If he's even really considering it the WWE must have low balled him hard or something.

TNA "dying" could turn out to be the best thing that's happened to the company in a long time. If they're having a serious shakeup, bringing in good, recognizable yet untapped talent and finding a suitable and fresh place to shoot TV from then I can see no problem with the budget cutter being in effect and Hogan and Co. sailing their ship somewhere else.
TNA is dead, Long Live TNA!

He'd fit in great with the X division if he hasn't let himself fall out of practice. I'd love to see him face someone like Manik who's as talented as him.

TNA isn't dying. If they were they wouldn't be offering Hulk a new deal.
On the topic of Morrison I have heard the reason he's willing to come to TNA is because Melina is blacklisted from WWE. If this is indeed true and TNA nets both Morrison and Melina they could be major pick ups for TNA.
Morrison could slot into either the main event scene or the X-Division scene. I'd prefer him as a confident cocky heel dominating the X-Division but TNA does need fresh faces in it's main events and Morrison would be good for them. He's only 34 he still has a great look that makes people stop and go "Wow" and he can wrestle really well also. Struggles on the mic but Melina is good for him there.
If they snag Melina also (Which is a given because they're a package deal) you have a competent women's wrestler who can get heat but is still hot. She can talk, she can wrestle and she's got a good look.
Awesome pick ups for TNA if they can get them.

"John, hi, this is Dixie Carter." "...hello?" "I was wondering about if we could talk about an employment opportunity-" "I'm not sure how you got my number, but I am not a male prostitute right now so I think we're done here-" "Oh no, I work for Impact Wrestling, I stole your number out of an old phone Bruce Prichard left in my office." "Oh? Oh okay, what's up?" "Would you like some work?" "Can you pay me?" "...possibly." "Let me rephrase that, can you pay me up front AND on time through my accountant?" "...depending on how much Taz decides to re-sign for in a few months...maybe."
I'm sure that's how it went.

Elijah Burke did great in TNA, and he's about on par with Morrison (better on the mic, not as flashy in the ring). I don't see why TNA wouldn't try to pick him up.

The Pope's a guy who TNA should be looking to bring back into the fold if he's up for returning seen as he's not long came back to the independents. He was established enough at a point in his run that he could be brought back as an instant main eventer and he has the charisma and talent that he wouldn't seem out of place there.

Big mistake if he signs, he had issues with the WWE when it introduced a policy forcing talent to pay for some form of insurance themselves because it was hard for talent with pre-existing issues like his neck injury to find anywhere willing to cover him. With TNA, he would get no help should he get hurt, unless he's joined the Screen Actors Guild in his time away.

The WWE does not hire TNA talent unless they are established WWF/E names from past successful periods (RVD, Christian, etc). I'm not sure Morrison falls into that category so if he goes to TNA, I'd imagine his WWE days are over.

He was really popular and could get a big pop.

He was really popular and could get a big pop. Depends on how they view him. He is not like Jeff Hardy who has a huge fanbase and could step in and be the #1 or #2 babyface in the WWE tomorrow if he wanted to. Morrison was more of a mid-card act who hasn't been around for a little while. The WWE seems very particular about who they bring in from TNA and if they felt Morrison was expendable then I see no reason why they would bring him back and push him over existing talent that they are currently developing. Obviously if they felt he could make them some money, then they'd definitely bring him back. Not sure how high on Morrison they actually were/are.

A start up company that's been around twice as long as Nitro was on the air. Scary.
