Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Morrison was a good worker but terribly bland character. The "rock star" persona just never clicked for him as a singles performer. To me his character could have potentially been better as a heel but he works matches much better as a babyface with his spots and selling.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
When he was Nitro as part of MNM he was awesome. I thought Miz/Morrison made a good team as well. I did enjoy his singles work, as I felt even if his offense was a little erratic and nonsensical, his matches were always entertaining. Maybe he's just better suited as a tag team worker.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Say what you want about Morrison (spot monkey, no mic skills, etc.), he certainly delivered in a big time atmosphere. I love his matches with Mysterio, Punk, FCA vs. Miz, and adore his series with Sheamus.
On a different note, I can't believe I'd ever say this, but I just ordered the John Cena Experience Blu Ray. My dislike for Cena has lessened greatly recently and I wanted to own the matches with Angle, 3-way with Angle & HBK, Lashley, & Trips. Mania match vs. Batista isn't a bad Blu Ray extra either.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Wasn't a fan of him as Johnny Nitro, didn't like his team with Jiz, but did enjoy his run in MNM. One of the best tag teams of the last decade.
As a singles guy, his offence annoyed me more than anything else. He did have a good run on SD in 09 against the likes of Edge, Jericho and Punk.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
One of my favorite Morrison matches is actually his WHC match against Hardy back in 2009, I thought Jeff made him look like a million bucks. I also enjoyed Morrison in multi-man or gimmick matches where his weaknesses could be hidden better like his matches with the Hardys and his various ladder matches.
A lot of people didn't like his series of matches with Benjamin either I thought they were damn solid not to mention some outings with Ziggler.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
So earlier this year folks in the United States were raving that Silvervision's UK Exclusive Blu Rays were playable over here. Has anyone ever tried that??? I know several readers on WWEDVDNews said Summerslam & Night of Champions from last year worked perfectly. I'm mainly concerned about TLC 2011, which I really wanna pick up on blu ray.

Yup.
I've imported NOC 2011, SummerSlam 2011, Vengeance 2011, Hell in a Cell 2011, and Survivor Series 2011.
Anything before/after those PPVs are not region free.
And no TLC 2011 isn't region free.
We have to settle with the DVD release which I did pick up last week to complete my Late 2011-Summer of Punk collection.

Well what the shit man. Why would they just choose those 5 PPVs... Of course they stop at the one I want.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Always been a fan of Morrison. Flashy offense, good selling, mic skills....meh but he's not an actor. I likened him to RVD in a way. He's far too laid back for what they wanted him to do.
No homo, but I miss Jomo. A good spot monkey to heat crowds up is always useful. Rey is slowing down and Sin Cara is only useful if his opponent speaks spanish. Kofi is great but I think the midcard needs Jomo.
