John Morrison not planning WWE return -- or TNA debut -- anytime soon

Here's a question I'm sure you've asked yourself today: Hey, I wonder what John Morrison is going to do now that he's no longer with WWE?
Question asked, question answered:
"I've been getting tons of questions about what the hell is going on with me. TNA? Japan? Am I going back to WWE? Well, I've come to a point in my career where I feel like taking time off now to heal and recharge will add years to my career down the line. You can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result, so what I'm planning to do is take everything I've learned over my career as a pro wrestler -- about pro wrestling, strength training, and martial arts -- and put it all to use right now to start training so that when I'm ready, I'll be able to come back better than ever."
We've joked about Morrison quite a bit here on Cageside Seats but he really has been needing to get away from the business to heal up properly. His neck injuries got to a point that he needed surgery but instead of sitting out until he was 100-percent like he should have, Morrison decided to come back early -- which WWE allowed for reasons that are still unclear -- and he didn't even alter his daredevil style.
Boy, that Wellness Policy sure is effective.
Morrison had a good reason to want to come back sooner than he should have, seeing as he was in the midst of the biggest singles push of his career before getting hurt. Coming back early didn't equal the continuation of that push, though. In fact, after a short program with R-Truth, his contract status came into question and he was booked to lose nearly every match on Raw with the occasional win and/or non-loss loss to somewhat protect him should he decide to come back.
But now we know, or at least he's saying, Morrison has no plans to come back anytime soon. When John Laurinaitis was saying the two sides decision not to renew his contract was a mutually beneficial decision, he wasn't lying.
Heal up and get better, Morrison, so you can come back and piss off the smarks who can't take you seriously because of your inability to create credible offense. Video of his announcement after the jump.

Hey Geno..
You should do the story where Hunter is one of the most undesirable men of 2011. Some great stuff.

Why?
All the hate on Morrison? I have always thought that he was a very entertaining performer. I may have had the most exciting spot in the 40-man Rumble. And it just may have been his opponent but I thought that his matches with Punk for the ECW belt back in 07 were some of the very best!
He needs a break
And doesn’t need a month-long push in TNA.
Get healthy, maybe visit RoH or Japan for a bit.

Seriously....
Does any aside from Morrison know that it was Melina that fucked his career up in WWE. If he wasn’t so stupid and blinded by her acting like a dumb whore, he wouldn’t have had jobbed almost the entire time. Up until Melina who you minds well call Yoko basically kept him on a short leash, he was in the process of getting a very nice push but do to his stupidity to see the big picture, he basically lost all that momentum because he’s a big pussy (thanks Sean for pointing that out). WWE even put out a little dvd in who they usually make for people who you know they put they’re trust into. The last person who the made one for that was still around was Lesnar but he had his own reasons for leaving. Morrison on the other hand just flat out didn’t do anything to help his career while sticking up one of the biggest sluts in the industry. Is it me or does a 3rd of the divas just enjoy sleeping around or just whoring themselves out to the pubic?
you're own stupidity will lead you to your own downfall

Valuable Member
He’s a valuable member to any roster. I do think he needs to work on his mic skills and come off more authentic, but I honestly believe that’s a problem with WWE as a whole. Cody Rhodes is fantastic in the ring, but his promos are too over the top. I’m sure Cody Runnels can cut a fine promo as Cody Rhodes, without the monotone, Jericho-esque voice. We need only one Chris Jericho heel wrestler.
As for JoMo as a performer, he’s fun to watch in the ring and gives it his all. Personal life drama aside, if he learns to work smarter, without trying to cripple himself, and works on his promos, he can still be a money player with WWE after this much-needed layoff. People do dumb things. Morrison will learn from his mistakes. Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton weren’t always saints either. People can change for the better. Let’s hope that’s the case here—professionally and personally.
