I just don't get the Morrison character.

It's like some moron in the back was sitting there one day thinking, "Wow, John Hennigan looks JUST like Jim Morrison! We should change him from Johnny Nitro to John Morrison and have him do a Doors ripoff!"

It just made him another bland wrestler.

 

I actually like the Morrison character, though having him be a straight rip of Jim Morrison doesn't work as well. But it's better than the Johnny Nitro character, which doesn't really work without a tag team partner and REALLY doesn't work without Melina.

 

Yeah; I liked that tag team. And Melina was the perfect fit for them.

Funny how, if a tag team starts to get over, they immediately break them up.

Bastard.

 

You're right about it REALLY not working without Melina. Without her, it's just not the same.

 

I actually thought the Balls/Miz/Kelly Kelly angle had some promise. But, like everything else in ECW, that fell by the wayside long ago.

And I wish they'd have Big Daddy V splash Miz off the top rope about 10 straight times. Talk about a talentless hack.

 

Speaking of Joey Mercury, I heard a rumor that he's in talks with TNA.

Can anyone confirm?

 

That's what Meltzer reported. He's overseas and they're trying to get him a flight so he can make it to Atlanta in time for Bound for Glory. I hope they do due dilligence on him; he's had some pretty serious painkiller dependency issues that got him turfed from WWE. If he's clean, he'll be a fine mid-card heel (an addition to Christian's Coalition?)

 

He and Styles could be a solid team against Shelley-Sabin team.

 

Yeah, and knowing TNA, they would be wrestling that match on TNA Today or Xplosion, while Impact features the riveting three corners match of VKM vs. Team 3D vs. The Steiner Brothers.

 

Great idea!

Shelly and Sabin are fast becoming my favorite tag team, really the only team worth watching, and they need a push.

I like Styles as a single's guy, but they are wasting him in that department.

Why does this message board constantly have better ideas than the actual bookers?

 

As for RAW's low rating -- I haven't watched one second of wrestling in probably three-four weeks, since the Hornswoggle announcement, and I can honestly say I haven't missed it one bit. I don't know if that says more about me or the WWE's product.

 

I know the perfect angle that should happen. Suddenly, as these two up-and-coming tag teams are having a killer five-star match, suddenly Triple H makes a surprise appearance!

He marches down the aisle, and proceeds to give all four the pedigree. For good measure, he bloodies Styles with a sledgehammer.

Christian comes out, and gets the pedigree. Samoa Joe comes out — yep, you guessed it: pedigree.

It would be an amazingly awesome thing for Triple H to do! Come on, you know he's already buried every single wrestler in the WWE. Who else is left for him to ruin the career of?

You know Triple H is salivating at the idea.
