John Morrison's Future Endeavors

If you haven't heard, John Morrison has a contract that is soon going to run out.  If the WWE re-signs him, that's wonderful, both for him and for the big 'E.  Morrison is a very talented athlete, and could undoubtedly be groomed into a top draw if given the opportunity.  There's something very Shawn Michaels-esque about his character.  If the WWE would put some effort into emphasizing his strengths - his athletic talent and his willingness to use his body as a weapon - he could turn into the next Jeff Hardy (without the drugs), or better yet, the next Shawn Michaels.  Michaels was never a great promo cutter.  He was articulate most of the time, but Mick Foley he was not.  Michaels is (and always was) a gifted athlete who worked his ass off to make sure the audience got what they paid for.  And that's what Morrison is - or, at the very least, can turn out to be.

Night of Chairmen (and Punks)

Wait just a second, that's not the name of the pay per view!  It's Night of Champions!  Oh please, you and I both know that the selling point of this PPV is the Punk/HHH match.  That's the match that's gotten the most attention over the past month and that's the match that has sold the most tickets and will sell the most PPV buys. The sad part is that, even if I wanted to name the highest drawing match next to the Punk/HHH match...I don't think I'd be able to do it.  It's a pretty clear cut two way tie, but Orton/Henry has been built up far better than Cena/Del Rio, and people actually see Mark Henry as a legitimate obstacle for Orton, where Del Rio is just another notch in John Cena's ring post...but at the same time, Cena sells tickets by being on the card more than Orton, and it isn't even close.  So which one is a better match?  I'll let you judge that, but it's my job to predict how the storylines are going to play out tonight.
