The Future :: John Morrison


Without a doubt in my mind John Morrison will become one of the biggest stars in the WWE in the next few years.

His image is one of the key things in my opinion as to why I think that he can be one of the leading heels in the company.

He combines his cocky persona with a perfect body which make him a draw for any crowd.

He reminds me so much of a young Shawn Michaels due to his charisma and unsurprisingly he rates HBK as one of his favourite wrestlers.

There was a significant moment on Raw about a month ago when Morrison did a super kick on Michaels which I interpreted as a message to indicate the torch is gradually being passed.

Currently Morrison is in a tag team with The Miz which is getting them both a lot of exposure as they seem to appear on all three brands and are given the opportunity to cut quite a few promos which always make for humorous viewing.

The way in which Morrison speaks in these promos is so over the top and exaggerated but it works and simply builds on the reaction he gets from the crowd. For example his amusing blatent puns in reference to his physique.




The WWE has clearly thought about the way they market him as they have changed his name from Johnny Nitro to John Morrison and tweaked his style slightly to be more rock star like.

His theme tune is quality and the slow motion camera effect when he appears is also very effective.

I am very sure we will be seeing Morrison in the world title scene in the near future.
