Former WWE star and a former three times WWE Intercontinental Champion John Morrison who is also a former fixed and WWE World Champion recently talked about the return of Vince McMahon to make sure a smooth sell process of the promotion.
The former ECW World Champion had a lot of success all around the world and he was one of the biggest names created by WWE. He did not become famous in WWE only but elsewhere as well. In a short Impact Wrestling career, he won the Impact World Heavyweight Championship one time. He won a ton of championships in WWE as well. But once again during the latest run of his WWE career, the promotion failed to utilize him and at the end he was playing a role of a jobber.
John Morrison Reflects On Vince McMahon Joining WWE To Make Sure A Smooth Sell Process
He was having some bookings after he was paired with his kayfabe and real life friend The Miz. The duo received some consistent bookings since pairing up and Morrison had an important role to play as well when Miz won the WWE Championship earlier this year.
But Miz betrayed Morrison during an episode of Monday Night RAW and fans expected to see a good storyline. But Miz felt participating in Dancing with the Stars would be more important than telling this story so he left and WWE had no idea what to do with Morrison. Ultimately he was released after playing a number of jobbing roles.
WWE did not even bother to tell the next part of the story between The Miz and Morrison. And this was not the first time WWE did not conclude a story. The same thing happened before the release of Aleister Black as well. His return was promoted via promo packages.
When he finally returned, he attacked Big E. And the very next week he was released. WWE did not even bother to tell the reason behind this attack. There were other instances throughout this year as well. It all seemed so clueless.
John Morrison who is also a former fixed and WWE World Champion recently spoke to Denise Salcedo where he talked about the return of Vince McMahon to make sure a smooth sell process of the promotion. He said;
“First of all, it seems crazy, right? Change is crazy. I can’t believe [it all]. Vince left. Vince is back. Hunter’s in charge. Without getting into the nitty-gritty of everything, it seems crazy until you think about things historically.” said John Morrison, “In that frame, it’s not that crazy. Because that’s what happens to civilizations, to businesses. Specifically, the wrestling business.
“When Vince McMahon started it, basically he put a whole bunch of territories out of business, got a national TV deal and built WWF at the time up to what it is today. That came out of turmoil and turmoil is what happened with WCW and WWF. In the race back then between those two companies WWF won. Now AEW is on the map. Now Vince is back and he might sell the company to Saudi Arabia. It’s chaotic, it’s interesting. I think it’s part of the intrigue of the business.”
