After years away from the company John Morrison is once again a WWE Superstar, and he wasted no time reuniting with his old partner The Miz.
Miz and Morrison are working their way up the ladder in the tag team division on SmackDown, and former Intercontinental Champion recently spoke to talkSPORT about his goals for his current WWE run.
During the interview Morrison was pretty open about where his head was at during his first run with the company, and he admitted there were certain things that bugged him last time around.
“I’ve been thinking about this specific question a lot and clearly, the easy answer is I want to main event WrestleMania. I want to tell the best stories with the best people. I want to do those things. But those are the answers you can quantify and write down and say I did this, this and this, but this time around my goals are a little bit more hard to quantify.
I want to be the best version of myself, I want to tell the best stories with the best performers and I want to create moments that people remember and makes them feel things. One of the things that bugged me a lot in my earlier run was having those ideas in your head, concrete ideas: I want to be in the main event of WrestleMania, I want to have this match with this guy.
And you realise, a lot of that is out of your control. Of course I want that and that’s why I’m back. To be the best talent, to get that ‘Mania main event. But in the past, shooting for that led to some unhappy years. Staying motivated by phrasing my goals differently this time around like, instead of saying I want to main event WrestleMania, I want to put on the best showing I’ve ever had at ‘Mania.
I want to be the best version I’ve ever been. I want to do better moves and by better moves I mean movement patterns and integrating those moves into a match with timing – that’s the kind of thing I want to show and achieve in this run as opposed to things you can easily write down on a piece of paper.”
John Morrison will get the chance to add more gold to his resume when he teams up with The Miz to challenge The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at Super ShowDown on Thursday.
