Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 This promo just meanders around with no real point. They should have had Nitro/whatever take some speaking classes before putting the belt on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 Is he doing a Morrison rip-off? If so this gimmick has been rumored for years. I can't even remember the first wrestler I heard this gimmick linked to. For it to be around for so long, and given the writing team turnover, it has to be a Vince McMahon idea.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 "John Morrison" deliberately cuts these mello, moody promos that make him sound worse than the stuttering, all over the place, generic promos of "Johnny Nitro". What an embarassing World Champion character. A direct rip-off of a an overrated stoner singer that most wrestling fans aren't even fans of. "Chases Men" Punk got a laugh.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 What would be the point of Punk jobbing again on Sunday? Everyone seems to just think he's jobbing, but why? Let's say they job Punk out. What then? There is nobody on ECW, no other main face. I'm thinking indecisive DQ or double countout finish, Punk wins the belt at SS once even they realize how shitty the new John Morrison gimmick is.

AlaskanHero 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 What exactly is so shitty about the John Morrison gimmick? I'm just kind of curious because it seems kind of interesting to me and I honestly want to know why everyone seems so negative towards it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 Here is why it sucks. Raven, in 1995-96, was super over because he was this cult-leader who was down with the grunge culture and had a Jim Morrison rebel vibe. 1. THE ANNOUNCERS AND RAVEN AND ECW DIDN'T NEED TO TELL YOU THIS. You just saw it. Raven didn't call himself "Scott Morrison" or "Scott Keresh" or however the cult leader's last name was spelled. 2. Nitro is athletic, however, he is not a very good professional wrestler yet. He doesn't have the ability as a defending World Champion to carry opponents or bring out the best in him. THUS, EVERYONE WHO FACES NITRO, GIVES YOU A LEGIT REASON TO WANT THE BELT OFF NITRO. And not in the "Oooh, he really butters my bacon!" kind of way. In the "Man, this guy would make a better champion" way. Broken down guys like Dreamer excluded. 3. It's the WWE Marketing Scheme of post-2001. Thus, they have to REINFORCE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL and not let you decide things for yourself. Just wait. Nitro's finisher will be called the "Break On Through" or something ridiculous. Bill Goldberg got over by being mysterious and full of excitement. The announcers, unlike Lashley's hype, didn't ram every fact and tell you: THIS GUY IS FO' REAL! YOU GOTTA LOVE LASHLEY! They let YOU see that Goldberg was sick. 4. Nitro's sounds like he's falling asleep while talking. He also got into sissy boy name calling tonight. 5. Nitro had no build-up to the title. HE NEVER EVEN SAID HE WANTED AN ECW TITLE. He didn't really work to get it. He just...kinda has it. Yay. 6. "Honestly, I just don’t get it. What does CM stand for? Chick master? Definitely not that. Chases men? Definitely getting a little warmer. Cookie Monster. Common man. Completely miserable,” Morrison smugly said. “And Punk… What is a punk? A punk is a disrespectful little kid with lame tattoos that doesn’t know his place.” That sounds like Chris Jericho, WORD FOR WORD, chewing someone out. Not to mention the hair and pants...plus leather rock band shirt. How original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
