I think it is ridiculous how so many people think Morrison is overrated and how he could be called the most overrated wrestler in history.
So this is the thing that really bugs me, Morrison is a wrestler in the WWE which has a history of overrated wrestlers. You want to talk about overrated wrestlers why don't you look at WWE's past history, examples are Batista, Mark Henry, Hogan, and Ultimate Warrior who were all maint eventers. Unlike them Morrison has pretty decent in ring abilities. Morrison is a pretty good wrestler and isn't even overrated in my opinion.
I know I will get hate for saying this but the fan favorite WWE wrestler, John Cena isn't even that good of a wrestler. I mean he is a great entertainer and he can close the deal in a match but as a wrestler his ability isn't that great. Morrison has a more widespread move set then Cena but Morrison doesn't get any credit. For the record I don't hate Cena, I was just using him as an example for why people shouldn't come down on Morrison so much.
I think people must have interpreteded the comparison to Michaels wrong. He was compared to a younger Michaels based on their athletic abilities, not on the mat skills. And I can see how that is a good comparison, not just on their athletic abilities but in general. The are both good high flyers, they both came from a tag team history, they look similar, they are both energetic, and finnally the athleticism.
I think the people that really blow the whole comparison out of porportion were hardcore HBK marks.
There is no doubt in my mind that Morrison should be pushed and become a main event single superstar. He was the better wrestler out of the tag team MNM and he proved himself in matches like MNM vs Rey and Eddie, MNM vs The Hardy Boyz, Batista and Rey, and London and Kendrick. Why shouldn't Morrison get a push, people should open up their eyes and look around because Morrison is a good up and comer.
People are quick to forget how they used to say Morrison should leave the tag team divison and become a single competitor. I mean The Miz is now a main eventer, he blows every title oppurtunity he gets. People said how Morrison was better then the Miz, people even said he was better then his old partner, Joey Mercury. Honestly people do not know that Joey Mercury was an alcohalic and a junkie. Not for nothing Morrison was the glue that kept MNM together, that took heart. Based on Morrison's success, he looks good on paper. A wrestler who held The World Tag Team, WWE Tag Team, and Intercontinental title, why shouldn't he be qualified to be a World title contender.
Morrison has good mic skills, he's no Edge but he has talent on the mic. He is one of the best young wrestlers and one of the best young heels. He also is a wrestler like Randy Orton in a way who in my opinion can make a horrible wrestlers look decent. I would honestly like to see Morrison in more Ladder matches as well, the 2006 Armageddon Ladder match with Londrick, The Hardy Boyz, and Taylor and Regal was a good match.
Another wrestler that people complain about is Shelton Benjamin. There were so many fans that said " Sheltin is so athletic" or " Shelton is the most underrated today." But then the sam people said "Shelton has horrible mic skills" or "Shelton has no charisma, so he doesn't deserve a push." I get tired of people complaining about Benjamin and Morrison.
BQ: It will defiantly affect his fanbase. Let's face it, Rey has that whole innocent and sensitive thing going on, this drug thing might have ruined his reputation. Just like how Kurt Angle stalked his ex girlfriend or his DUI. I am dissapointed in Rey, I can stand people who use drugs to get a boost in wrestling or any other sport. Like when Barry beat Hank Aaron's Home Run record, Aaron worked so hard and Barry cheated with most of his career. Like how Barry disgraced the Baseball players who work had to get a HR, Mysterio disgraced the wrestlers who worked so hard to be strong and fit. On the other hand Mysterio probably uses the excuse on how he is getting older and how his muscles aren't what they used to be, I can relate to him with that because you don't know all the work and injury it takes to be a professional wrestler unless you are one. I can sympathy for that excuse, because wrestlers like Rey work so hard and they get disgraced an look down upon all the time. People say what wrestlers like Rey do is fake, but I want the bashers to be put in Rey's shoes and tell him how fake it is. But overral it is another reason showing why in sports today, you need an extra boost. So I am pretty dissapointed in him.
