Judgment Day, John Morrison, The Rock/Movies, Hayes
Written by Richard Gray on May 8, 2008 - 11:08:22 AM
This month’s Judgment Day PPV is shaping up good, but is it going to be an all Raw PPV? With HHH vs. Orton, JBL vs. Cena, and HBK vs. Y2J being already announced, plus a possible tag team championship bout and the women's championship, and the huge Kennedy vs. Regal feud, do you think they might spring a purely "Raw" PPV on us? I'm not complaining.
No, Judgment Day will include superstars from all three brands just like all of the other pay-per-views. While expected, Kennedy vs. Regal, the World Tag Team Championship match, and the Women's Championship match have still not been announced and could be pushed back to WWE's early June pay-per-view, One Night Stand. Another match was added to Judgment Day on SmackDown but I do not want to spoil it here. You can read about the match at this link.
What is the deal with John Morrison? I do not understand why this guy is not in the main event on any of three WWE programs. I feel like the WWE has him stuck in the same type of scenarios every week. What are the reason that he is not a singles headliner, and how come he still in the tag-team picture?
John Morrison is a work-in-progress. While he does have main event potential, everything has to be just right before WWE is going to push him as a major superstar. Look at how they slowed John Cena and Randy Orton into their roles as major players. Morrison will get his opportunity but he is at a good place right now where he is one of the big names on ECW and a current WWE title holder as one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions. I will argue that his gimmick needs to be repackaged because the Morrison gimmick is very dry. I thought that when Dave Lagana was out as head ECW writer that the gimmick would be scrapped, but they haven't done anything yet.
Hey Richard, I just want to get your thoughts on The Rock. He clearly stated that he enjoys his acting career more than wrestling. He had a magazine released and it says that he doesn't even want to be named "The Rock" anymore. What's up with that? Why can't he just at least make an appearance like Austin? Without WWE and Fans chanting for his name, he wouldn't have been at Hollywood!
I get this all of the time and when I do I always remind readers that if it were not for The Rock there might not be a WWE. While Vince McMahon created the gimmick, it was Dwayne Johnson that utilized it to his fullest and was able to use it to help WWE rise above WCW. I miss The Rock and wish that he would return to wrestling as well but it is completely his decision and I do not think that we can be selfish about it. He had a great career and if he never wants to wrestle again then so be it.
I have heard a lot about Michael Hayes and racism. Why did he get suspended as SmackDown head writer? Can you clarify this for me, I'm confused.
Michael Hayes reportedly said while speaking to Mark Henry, "I am more of a N than you are" while having some drinks in Orlando during WrestleMania XXIV weekend. Henry didn't make a big deal of it at the time but ended up going back to Vince McMahon and letting him know about the incident. This ended up in Hayes getting a 60-day non-paid suspension from WWE.

When Shawn Michaels was attacked outside of a Syracuse nightclub by approximately 10 thugs (actually it was by a marine group), Shawn was accompanied by Davey Boy Smith and X-Pac. They beat up Shawn while the others held Davey Boy and X-Pac back.
