Former WWE superstar John Morrison has remained out of the spotlight in the years since his WWE departure. With a slew of new direct-to-DVD movie roles and a roster spot on the new Lucha Underground program, he's resurfaced.
There were question marks surrounding his WWE departure in November 2011, with most expecting an eventual comeback. Although that comeback has yet to happen on the National scene, he has still worked on various independent shows. Last week on Chris Jericho's Talk Is Jericho podcast, Morrison spoke about why he left WWE.
"They wanted me to sign for 5-years," Morrison said. "I might not be able to move the way I did in my prime, and I figured if I wanted to do an action movie the way I wanted to, the time is now."
Morrison also stated that he had to heal up from a neck injury in which he'd had surgery on earlier in 2011. He was urged by Triple H, John Laurinaitis and the WWE offices to return as quickly as possible, before he had fully healed. Lingering injuries contributed to his decision to take time off.
Morrison has since starred in the film "Hercules Reborn" and will be one of the headlining acts on the aforementioned Lucha Underground show on the El Rey network.

He'll never make it as an actor but I sure miss him in WWE. One of my favorites.

I never saw JoMo as the main event player that many did, but he was one of the most exciting, flashiest guys I've ever seen. It'd be cool to have him back someday.

^ I think he would've done well as a main-event star. He could work a good match with anyone and had a phenomenal look.

If he would have have stayed it's possible that he could have been a world champion(not including ECW) by now.

I'd like to see him back teaming with Miz, or some other team. As a singles guy, he's pretty bad.

After his last run as a singles competitor, this is basically all I remember John Morrison for:  |

I could've seen him being a main eventer only with a phenomenal manager. Otherwise, put him in Kofi's role, basically.

I liked him, but now we have Neville who is twice the athlete and a better wrestler. And has a better look. He's just a generic high flyer, nothing really special.

Are you seriously going to discredit the Shaman of Sexy? Jomo has been in some of the best matches with Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Jeff Hardy, Sheamus, Orton, The Miz, etc. |

I don't want to watch an athletic competition, I want drama and a story leading up to a match. |
