Nice to see some parkour skills on a grand stage. Since him and Miz split, he has definitely been the Marty Jannety of the group, but he is still talented and fun to watch
I'm a huge John Morrison fan. He's like an old-school rockstar, but a wrestler. And he's impressive as hell in the ring. But I also like The Miz. Miz just makes a helluva heel wrestler.
However Marty Jannety was NOTHING without Shawn Michaels, and it showed.
Jannety was a solid in-ring guy. He was high-flying, high-adrenaline athlete with a solid ground-game. What hurt the most was not the fact that he broke a guy's neck and was sued, sure he got drunk a lot of times and was slapped with a subpoena, but that he was kinda wooden on the stick. He was like the Macho Man without the Macho Madness, which in that light, yeah, makes him suck in comparison. As
classic clip shows, Jannetty was good. HBK (and the late Hennig, also seen) was just stellar.
Other examples of this include Shelton Benjamin (he did get better) and Lance Storm (who actually used his robotic mannerisms as a gimmick).
I personally think Morrison is above a "spot-fest" guy (Jeff Hardy, WWE RVD), but because he has so many flashy moves in his repertoire (including plenty of solid mat-moves), matches sometimes felt disjointed.
(Booker T and Big Sexy... how old are they now? And what's left in TNA?)
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
