But sometimes it's difficult to look past peoples actions and not judge them for it.

And you know, maybe the whole reason he is being held back is for something totally unrelated to Melina. We never know.

yeah, but his gf being a big ho-bag isn't too hard to look past. Judge him on a personal level, but professionally the guy was doing a damn good job before his momentum was halted. Why hold back a potential star just bc of his gf? If this is/was a problem, why didn't we hear about it til years or months later?

You're right; it could be another reason, and I hope it is. I read on wrestlezone that the sentiment is mutual and both parties are looking to go their separate ways; but none of this is official.

As far as fans go, I don't see why it even makes a difference. If no one had ever heard about the promiscuity of Melina, most of us would acknowledge that Morrison is obviously being held back; he should have been elevated to the main event by now. Instead, he's on his way out the door.

Regardless, it sucks....

Well, whether we like it or not, Morrison is now a jobber. I hope he doesn't resign when his contract expires, because then it will be like the Carlito situation.

Carlito resigned, and he was only ever seen in backstage segments or jobbing to other jobbers. And he started half assing it, because he knew he was better than most of the guys he was jobbing to.

I'm not much of a fan of this version of CM Punk.

After he got released, his father came out and said Carlito had drug problems and that's what lead to his release; I figured that's why he was underused.

Why is that?

Also I'm glad this topic was bumped, I have a story. Yesterday I bought a Cena shirt (the new Rise Above Hate one) because as I've said before, I'm a Cena fan (plus I was buying a shirt for my girlfriend and it was buy one get one half off). Yesterday was also the first night I got to spend with my new kitty, Super Dragon (yes, I named him Super Dragon). I wore the shirt to sleep, and I woke up with him peeing on my shoulder. Is this a sign? Lmao.

I agree that he (and everyone else) does use the word 'pipebomb' too much nowadays and they are pushing him pretty hard, but it's really just a response to the fans' support over the last two years. The scenario between him and Jonny Ace IS getting old, but the exchange between the two of them is still entertaining almost every time AND Punk continues to put on the best matches of the night (his only competition on a regular basis is Ziggler; Sheamus and Rhodes do a great job at least once a week as well).

Ppl are starting to think that the Control promos are actually for Shane and Steph; the two of them would be a challenge to combat as authority figure; much better than Ace (tho I like Ace). Punk's kinda carrying the "feud" on the mic bc Ace is as vanilla as anyone who's ever been in the WWE, so Punk ends up overdoing it or talking too much.

I feel you, Doze; but I'm still a big Punk fan. Kayfabe ( :p )wise, Orton's the only guy I can see fucking with Punk (Cena can't out wrestle him, Sheamus can't outsmart him, and no one else is nearly as savy (tho I'd like to see Ziggler and Bryan elevated to that level; maybe I'll get my wish in 2012)

Being vanilla is Laurinaitis' gimmick. He is a corporate suit (hence all of the stereotypical corporate buzzwords like "dynamic." he is always spouting off).

I really dislike Survivor Series. Especially a lot of the older ones and some of the ones form the mid-late 2000's where it was all just a whole bunch of elimination tag team matches. The same damn match too many times on one card.

I don't like face Sheamus.

I prefer Celtic Warrior over Irish jock with a temper who makes fun of people.

I like the scowl over the grin. I look at his character and I see an Irish Rock who's nowhere near as funny.
I'm also not a fan of the Brogue Kick.

I'm not a fan of the Brogue Kick either, I think it looks silly. I wonder whatever happened to that other finisher he used for a few weeks and then dropped.

I'm not a fan of this Daniel Bryan "YES!" stuff. It annoys me to no end.

I also am not a fan of the "The Great White" Sheamus. I'd rather see the Celtic Warrior then a guy who's quickly turning into Randy Orton. By that i mean goes over everybody.

It is different, though. At least Sheamus lets guys get offense in. And Sheamus is a monster babyface. His job is to go over on everybody.
