Casey Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, and RVD are also doing it from what I understand. "Doctor, we can't tell where the brain damage due to weed ends and the brain damage due to folding chairs begins." then there's Dr. Lester Grinspoon, a Harvard professor, who actually agrees with RVD and is trying to get the NFL commissioner to consider allowing players in the league to use medical marijuana and fund a study (because the government won't do it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Randy Orton count? Even with all the great matches, he's not that interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I just remember when they gimmicked his guitar as a rib and when he spun it around, he gave himself a black eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alstein Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So with Johnny Mundo dissing Reigns and Rikishi pointing out Roman has already done more than Johnny has career to career, people are saying "Boo Roman Mundo is real wrestler" on Rikishi's Facebook. Now. Morrison is so clearly a spot guy who can be carried by the right dude and only even puts full effort half the time. But looking back, I can't even peg what matches got him labelled as a smark superworker. Some of the Punk ones, Sheamus, and what? Where did the myth of Johnny Mundo: Superworker come from? Because as it is I can think of more great Roman matches from last year than from Mundo's whole career. For me it was the Miz/Morrison team, though you could argue Miz carried that. Just thought they were really, really good together and if it was a better time they would have been a longtime team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2112 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Morrison had a string of good matches in '09 with guys like Rey, Jericho, Bourne, and Edge to go along with the Punk ones. So pretty much 100% working with better wrestlers then. I guess questionably on 09 Edge, but still. The counter here is that I can't really think of any good to great carry jobs by Roman either.

kafkonia Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I don't think Morrison/Mundo/Nitro is some sort of great superworker. But I think it's fair to say that, at this point, he connected with the fans far better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 At the end of the day, wrestling is about connecting with the fans, John Morrison has done that and Roman largely hasn't. Morrison is better at "pro wrestling" than Roman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So basically two guys are arguing about who's a better fake fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nature Boy Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I mean, we are a pro wrestling message board. Discussing the relative talent of the participants is expected. It's like joining an acting forum and complaining about people discussing who is the better "fake superhero." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Was referring more to the original issue, though it was more a case of Morrison and Rikishi arguing about who's the better fake fighter between Morrison and Roman Reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Was there a Roman/Braun singles match? or Roman/Rowen? if so, how were they? Roman/Braun happened back in October. The first half of it was pretty bad, though Reigns seemed to manage a little something toward the end. It was certainly nothing to write home about.

You think this exact thing doesn't happen with actors? Trust me, it does. Right now, an actor or actress whose name you know is bitching about another actor or actress whose name you also know being a talentless hack.
