Talk:John Morrison (wrestler)

I have had enough why are you taking so long at making a page for the miz and morrison afterall they are former WWE tag team champions, they still team up after losing the gold and they have there own show on wwe.com. and for the record cryme tyme have never been champions in wwe and they have there own page. make one!!Mvpisthebest (talk) 18:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

John Morrison and The Miz. Perhaps you'd like to check for a page before demanding that one is created. Thank you, ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 19:07, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

It says his birthday (or year reather) is 1979. I've also seen 1979 given in other places as well. However, on WWEKids where the superstars write their details in themselves, Morrison gives his birthyear as 1981 74.68.157.60 (talk) 03:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn't his picture be updated? Because that's his old gimmick. 72.38.141.239 (talk) 07:08, 21 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

We don't update the image because it's an old gimmick. The imfobox picture is used to illustrate what the person looks like. The other pictures in the article reflect the different gimmicks that are used. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 15:16, 21 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Not champion until wwe.com announced it on there website.

It the excuse given so many times for other wrestlers wiki page. so I think until WWE.com advertise it, it shouldnt be on wikipedia...

didnt happen on tv=never happened

Lachine, december 14th @ 0:02 UTC

Do they actually announce house show title changes though? I don't remember that happening when Kendrick and London beat Cade 'n Murdoch and had them for a few days before dropping them back. And saying that the fact that because it "didn't happen on TV" it completely nullifies the title change is not a good argument. It's happened before. House show tag titles are in title histories. But let's see if they keep the titles and don't drop them back before they get a chance to be on television. Still, it DID happen. --Kaizer13 (talk) 05:17, 14 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Forget about it, they just announced it on wwe.com

I realise there is a similar discussion on Morrison's Split-Legged Corkscrew Moonsault, but during this week's (20/01/09) episode of ECW on Sci-Fi, Matt Striker named the Springboard Roundhouse Kick the 'Flying Chuck', supposedly being used in "homage to Chuck Norris". I know just hearing it said on commentary isn't the most reliable source, but that's how most move names are presented (eg. half of RVD's moveset once upon a time was named by Joey Styles). It's not going to really ever be mentioned on any official WWE site, because it's not one of his finishing moves. 44 (talk) 06:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

It is a kind of a finishing move, I have seen opponents being beaten by it. And another thing, I have to disagree that it is a springboards roundhouse kick. It is much more enzuigiri-esque. I don't really think that these "newsletters" and "observers" are reliable sources. But whatev.--Oxico (talk) 19:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC) PS. I have heard it called Flying Chuck or something with Chuck Norris in the title.Reply

The article says he's used this move since 2007. I believe that isn't true, I've only ever seen him use it since he turned face, so it should be 2009. He might have used it while he was still teaming with Miz, towards the end of their run, but I'm not sure.123.2.105.135 (talk) 13:44, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

This has already been discussed on other wrestler-related wikipedia pages.

The term 'Face Character' is a far more accepted and technically more accurate phrase in professional wrestling than 'Fan Favourite'. A 'Fan Favourite' is someone who is (obviously) a favourite superstar of a majority of the fanbase. Examples are The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin and more recently John Cena. A 'Face' is simply a "Good Guy" wrestler, as opposed to 'Heel' - a "Bad Guy" wrestler. Even the page that the term in question redirects to is under the term 'Face'.

That all being said, would the individual who persists in changing the term to 'Fan Favourite' please desist, as it is unreliable information in an otherwise mostly well-done article.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.166.129.34 (talk) 10:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

The term "Face" is jargon, read WP:JARGON, and "fan favorite" is the accepted wording and format per WP:PW. If you have a problem with it, then WT:PW would be the place to go. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 10:46, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

'Fan Favourite' is also Jargon - at no point has there even been any confirmation or proof that John Morrison is a face at ALL. This appears to be merely a case of you not wanting to accept the official terms and regulations of a typical wrestling community. By viewing other pages, it appears you have been in argument with other users over this exact same topic. Frankly, if both terms are jargon then there is no place for either of them here. However that being said, 'Face' is more accurate than 'Fan Favourite' and should therefore remain in place.

I fail to see how "fan favorite" is jargon, to be honest. Face on the other hand, clearly is. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 01:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Because there John Morrison simply isn't a favourite superstar of the fans... er go, he isn't a fan favourite. If you bothered to read my original post, you'd understand the difference between a 'Face' and a 'Fan Favourite'... they are two completely different things. Furthermore, WT:PW doesn't seem to support any official reason or evidence as to why 'Fan Favourite' should remain intact. I have given ample reason as to why 'Face' is far more appropriate.

Because of WP:JARGON. If fan favorite truly is jargon, it shouldn't be used either. Perhaps fan favorite isn't the best term to use, but nor is fan favorite. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 01:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree entirely. Neither term should be used as both are Jargon. ...But frankly, for the sake of it, I'd like to mention that 'Face' is an easier to understand term, particularly since the page it redirects to is titled 'Face'. But ultimately, I agree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.156.182 (talk) 01:52, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I still dont' see how fan favorite is jargon though. No, fan favorite is surely not the same thing as a face, but I still believe it's not jargon, since it's a common term outside of just wrestling. Whether or not he's actually a "fan favorite" isn't really the issue here. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 01:55, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I personally believe this is a dual issue - whether or not he's a 'Fan Favourite', and if not, is 'Face' an acceptable term to use on the page. Regardless, I personally feel an absolution should be reached. Albiet, 'Fan Favourite' isn't jargon when used in general conversation, but the sense in which it's being used is without a doubt jargon material. Like you said, it's a common term outside just wrestling... but we're talking about a kayfabe change in persona here, and therefore the appropriate wrestling terms should be applied. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.156.182 (talk) 02:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wrong. Jargon shouldn't be used in any situation. The article is supposed to be written in a professional way, understandable to all (fans and non-fans), etc. Suitable phrases to change fan favorite to are: hero and good guy (though it doesn't read well).--WillC 02:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree. Face is a far better term... more explanatory.WWEFAN (talk) 04:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.226.17.246 (talk) Reply

How is it more explanatory? Everyone, not just wrestling fans, are supposed to be able to understand this article. If you say "he turned into a face character", people are literally going to read that and go "huh?". The word "face" was very different meanings. One is the professional wrestling term, the jargon, the other is "face" as most people would understand it, like "he faced the wall" or "he touched his face". Saying "face character" will just make people say, "that doesn't make sense", whereas saying "fan favourite/favorite" (depending on whether you're from Europe or the US) will lead to go, "oh, right, so the fans like him, he's a good guy". Anf to the fact that consensus at WP:PW is to use words that aren't jargon or confusing like "face", and your arguments don't really hold much weight. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Somehow, YOUR argument seems to make even less sense. Anybody who reads 'fan favourite' is going to think John Morrison is some World Champion main event superstar who carries the business on his back or something.

Anybody who sees 'Face' and doesn't know what it means will surely have the brainpower to click the provided hyperlink... that is WHY the hyperlink is THERE.

If you are going to reply to what other people have said, it's usually a wise idea to respond to everything, and not just the parts you wish to reply to. Again, I say that this entirely seems like your wishing to change something just because you don't agree with the views of other people. Once again, I point out that 'Fan Favourite' in the term you are using it is just as much jargon-material as 'Face Character'.

If a compromise on this situation can't be reached, then the sentence section in general should just be deleted to avoid any further argument. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.91.177 (talk) 02:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please don't shout. I, and I'm sure eveyone else on this site, am perfectly capable of reading what you type without you needing the use of capslock.

How on earth does "fan favourite" (i.e. a favourite of the fans) mean "some World Champion main event superstar who carries the business on his back"? That's a hell of a stretch for anyone to make. I am not changing it because I dislike it, I'm changing it because it is jargon, and won't be understood by anyone who is not a wrestling fan. "Fan favorite" is not jargon. Jargon is defined as "a technical terminology unique to a particular subject", which "face" is in this caase, but "fan favorite" isn't. People who aren't wrestling fans will understand the term "fan favorite", they won't understand "face".

If you are so insistent that this wrong, however, and that it must be changed, I reiterate my earlier point to start a discussion at WT:PW. That way we'll have a wider input on the subject, and it won't be just us arguing the point back and forwards. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 03:48, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Capitalizing a word doesn't denote shouting, it is merely emphasizing certain words because you appear to be too dense to listen to a word anybody is saying. We are typing over the internet, and I don't know if you've realised this yet - but you can't shout via typing. >_>

As for your argument towards the situation at hand, your points hold VERY little ground and everything you say sounds to me like personal opinion. "Fan favourite" is, whether you wish to believe it or not, jargon. Hennigan is in no way a favourite of the fans, so therefore the term is incorrect and having it there is providing false information. Suffice to say, I agree with what has been said so far in that "face" should replace "fan favourite" in the article. Though since it is clear nobody is going to agree on this matter, I've simply edited the article to remove the statement all together.

Who is to say he is not an actual fan favorite? All he has to do is be liked by the fans, even a small amount, and he is. He isn't over like The Rock or Stone Cold were, but he is still liked. So fan favorite is still correct in its own way.--WillC 06:42, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

The argument is settled, and the entire part that is being argued over has been removed completely. This is the only way to avoid future argument, and it doesn't need you or anybody else changing it back just so it can be argued over more. Leave it alone, you changing it back is just going to cause more argument. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.186.81.235 (talk) 23:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC) The situation persists!! Whoever continues to add 'Fan Favourite' or 'Face' to this article is now just being petty! The issue has been resolved, and rather than continuing to deface this article with your childish little addition, leave it be like we have all agreed. The content is unnecessary and uninformative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.158.192 (talk) 06:52, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Welp, we're 11 years on and some idiot has started up again. It's Face, has been face for years, and will stay that way. Please avoid reverting it to 'fan favorite' as that is inaccurate information and uninformative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.197.54.159 (talk) 04:06, 8 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

By the picture by "Return to SmackDown!" and "Personal Life" the text for the picture says the following: Hennig after winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship for the first time as Morrison, and third time over all.

Should it not be "Hennigan" instead of "Hennig"? I would have changed it on my own, but the article is locked or something. Please change ASAP. 190.59.6.185 (talk) 02:05, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've read sources that has stated that his contract is to expire by the end of November if not renewed, but should the article be written in such a style that he has already left like it is now? Because neither WWE or John Hennigan has stated exactly if he is actually leaving the company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bgs893 (talk • contribs) 01:36, 26 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

At the moment, he is still with the company, but most likely done. Someone out there is trying to troll or "work" people by changing the first paragraph of the article to indicate John has signed with TNA Wrestling, but they missed the giant glaring omission that WWE owns the name John Morrison. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.242.212.53 (talk) 01:14, 27 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Should his recent comments about Reigns while working for Lucha be mentioned there? Ranze (talk) 03:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Ranze: Definitely not. It's like mentioning every comment from a wrestler directed at another wrestler, it would be unnecessary. Although, I did think that his comment about Reigns was amazing. "Hey there! How's it goin'?" 20:01, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

This sounds rough, but this has probably been one of the more newsworthy things, first I've heard from him in years. Not to put down Lucha Underground (I'm sure he does great work there) but lately it's like you're more notable for picking fights with WWE wrestlers than work you do in the indies. Is LU still indies? Ranze (talk) 00:37, 15 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Ranze: LU isn't indies. Morrison has always been commenting about WWE since his departure, and sporadically, he'll pick at some of their top guys. Not sure if it's him being a heel or not, but surely his comments about WWE will get some kind of coverage. Anyways, his interview on Reigns really isn't worth noting. Yes, it may have been talked about by fans due to what Morrison said about Reigns, but other than that, it really isn't "newsworthy". "Hey there! How's it goin'?" 00:52, 15 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
