Coming up to Wrestlemania 26, it's sad to see that John Morrison and The Miz are right back where they were at this exact time last year: the tag team scene. After they broke up last year, both went on to do pretty big things. The Miz feuded with the company's top face, John Cena, before eventually becoming United States Champion. John Morrison went even further, competing against all the Main Eventers on Smackdown and beating most of them and then became Intercontinental Champion.
But somehow, they're back where they started. I think WWE really dropped the ball on John Morrison, why have him go over so many stars just to drop him into a nothing tag team with R-Truth? Same goes for The Miz.
So where do you see The Miz and John Morrison going after Wrestlemania 26? Will they receive big pushes once again and actually make it to the top, or will we be seeing John Morrison & Matt Hardy vs. The Miz & Drew McIntyre at Wrestlemania 27?
They did accomplish a lot in the last year, but I don't see where they are at Mania as a step backward. Miz still has the US title, which I think should be defended at Mania along with the IC title, but that's just me. Miz just has a ton of things going on right now, so having him in any main focus match at Mania would just be too much for him to carry right now I think. He has the tag team titles and this angle with Bryan going on.
Morrison lost a lot of steam and I think that him even being added to the match is actually a step up from what he was doing before Mania, not backwards.
Unless Morrison and Truth pick up the tag titles at Mania, I can see Morrison feuding with Drew.
As for Miz, I don't really want to speculate at this point, because he still has this thing with Bryan going on which might spill over into other areas, like we saw last night.
I dont see the big deal, again with something like this. Both these guys are young, talented, and loved by seemingly a majority of the wrestling community.
So what if WWE dropped the ball a little, like you said - since WM25 both have gone on to have some great fueds, and once the singles mid-card title. Fuck, they even both fueded with eachother at one point.
I don't see the big deal in this little 'tag fued' because, they've got a long way to go. I'm soooo sick of people wanting WWE to get a supestar, dawdle about with them for a while, push them into the WHC/WWE scene and then make them 6-time world champions. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them REALLY building superstars ground bases with a few years - fuck make it 5 years - experience before they hand them a world championship.
This is just like Punk, though Punk's a little more fucked up - but just because he won a WHC and dropped back to mid-card, doesn't mean shit. They've got YEARS to utilise him...why not build him up in mid-card even more, as a pretty damn nice heel, before putting him back into the ME scene? It's not going to kill his career...
So no, I don't care about this at all. Personally I don't like the match, mainly cause Truth/Morrison were just thrown together and are being made to look like a great tag team. 50/50 it will work...
I still think that being thrown together this way is better than being left off the card altogether.
If we all agree that Miz is carrying Big Show.
Of course, Big Show has been carried for years.
I can't stand Show. I knew from the start of the match last night that he was going to win against Morrison, and I even understood that they couldn't have both Miz AND Show lose last night since they were made to look so bad on Raw. But it hurt me to watch it still.
Wait...Morrison has gone over so many stars? Don't tell me people are still talking about his 2 victories over Punk from the beginning of the summer.
As for Miz, well, he might be in another tag team alright, but he's damn sure not in the same spot as before.
Miz is in a prime spot right now, I don't know how anyone can claim otherwise.
To me The Miz is the true one on the rise right now. Sure he is in the same spot but it's completely different circumstances. Talk to me at WM27 and if he's in a Tag Title Match, then and only then is there a problem. By this time next year Miz should have been elevated to near main event status having either a solid Upper Mid Card feud with somebody who really can put him over the top (Shawn Michaels, etc) or at the least in MITB which he wins and becomes champion over the next year.
Morrison on the otherhand is a different story. They want this guy to be a huge star but he isn't garnering the face reactions he needs to as of now. I do think a long feud with Punk would have done the trick and still could. He's in a bit of a Shelton Benjamin limbo right now but still leagues higher than Benji in every aspect.
I don't see Miz and Morrison 'going backwards' I see them going in two completely different directions, Miz up and Morrison down.
I think it would be smarter to have Morrison feud with drew before pushing him to Punk's level right away. Let him start from the bottom, get that rub from knocking off Drew's undefeated streak and winning the IC title. Anything higher than that is asking too much. Besides, I want Punk to feud with Edge after Jericho retains at Mania.
