John Morrison Plays Name Association With Melina, CM Punk, Triple H & Vince

During a recent interview with the London Free Press, RAW superstar John Morrison was asked to play the "name association game" and had this to say about the following WWE personalities:

CM Punk: “Opinionated.”

Triple H: “Ambitious, yet unproven.”

Randy Orton: “Bad Ass. It’s tough to sum him up with one word. He’s an anomaly. It seems as if he did everything a certain way because of who he is. But he’s charismatic. And he’s entertaining to watch. You can’t deny that.”

The Miz: “Really, really loud and annoying. Yet deceivingly loyal to his friends.”

Melina: “The most talented diva ever to be employed by WWE. She’s got charisma and sex appeal. But the main thing that sets her apart is she makes people feel when she’s in the ring ... whether she’s angry, happy, surprised or pissed off. Whatever she feels, the audience feels that.”

Vince McMahon: “A supertalented workaholic. Micromanager. A perfectionist who expects the same from his employees.”

Triple H...unproven? Really?

John Morrison Comments on Heat Between Him and Trish Stratus

Trish Stratus on John Morrison Snubbing her at WrestleMania XXVII

"I got a bit of cold shoulder action, correct. John Morrison himself is amazing. He’s a great athlete. I was really looking forward to working with him. I thought it would be cool if we could do some stuff together. He didn’t think it would be that cool. It happens.

"Hey whatever. It happens. You know he’s into his thing and just didn’t think that I should part of his thing I guess, but I still admire him as an athlete, as a performer. I think he does a great job out there. Cold shoulder? Yeah I felt it. I was shunned. Some people are not smart maybe? You know they wrestle well, but maybe they’re not smart. I don’t know.”

Rumor Mill - Backstage Heat on Melina and John Morrison

There is backstage heat on both John Morrison and Melina, reports Pro Wrestling Torch. It centers around the Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania XXVII, which saw Morrison repeatedly brush partner Trish Stratus off.

During their post-match celebration, Stratus hugged Snooki and went to hug Morrison, but he had already turned his back on her. Morrison then led Snooki to the corner of the ring and used the Jersey Shore star as a shield, to guard himself from Stratus.

The backstory behind Morrison’s awkward body language is that either he or Melina, his girlfriend, felt Stratus took her spot in the Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania XXVII. The backstage belief is that he either holds Stratus in contempt for taking Melina’s spot on the card, or had to portray himself as such so that she would believe he was rude to her.

Behind the scenes, Morrison rejected various ideas Stratus had for their match at WrestleMania XXVII, and was said to be very difficult to work with. His outright refusal to comply with any of her suggestions reportedly hurt her feelings. Word quickly spread amongst the locker room, garnering heat.

Many feel Morrison’s unprofessional behavior will set back his standing in WWE since Stratus is highly regarded amongst company personnel.

Chili Attending WMXXVII; Connection to John Morrison

Actress and singer Chili of TLC fame revealed on the Monday Night Mayhem show recently that she will be at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta, where she lives. Chili and her family have been at several WWE shows over the past few years.

Chili also revealed that John Morrison was scheduled to appear on her What Chili Wants reality TV show during the second season but didn't. She said: “He was actually going to be on my show, but he got back with his ex. I totally had a crush on him, and he thought I was kind of cute too, so we were really going to date. Then he & ‘Miss Thing’ got back together.” Presumably she is referring to Melina.

Diva Receiving Heat for Draft Complaints

There was some backstage heat on WWE Women's Champion Melina for openly complaining about being drafted to SmackDown last week, reports prowrestling.net. Her complaints about being moved to the blue brand have generally drawn eye-rolling and laughter from the wrestlers, who feel she had to know it was a possibility to be drafted just like everyone else.

The three-time WWE Women's Champion has worked hard to improve her reputation in the locker room in the last year or so, but she is once again upsetting people with her behavior.
