5. John Morrison Is Excruciating

It can never be overstated just how much WWE's decision to bring in writers ruined North American TV wrestling for almost the entire 21st century thus far.

Even though it is an obvious statement, it is no less true. These people were morons just smart enough to grasp that their boss, provided he had eaten his din-dins of course, was very easily pleased. Like vultures, who in their defence just wanted to get home at a reasonable hour without getting a b*llocking, they developed tricks with which to do just that.

More often than not, that trick was "hurriedly write the most lame material that sounds like it might vaguely pass for terrible banter on a three camera sitcom cancelled after one season so that the lunatic who writes my cheques thinks it's sufficiently "real TV" quality enough to insulate himself from the haunting idea that what he actually produces is professional wrestling".

This is how we arrived at - and somehow didn't collectively all run away from - John Morrison saying the following to Dolph Ziggler:

"What's the matter, Ziggler, you scared? Ziggmeister. El Ziggerino. Or do you prefer Mr. Ziggles?"

Not going to a death match with material like that, is it? Maybe to the Max or the Peach Pit.

F*ck off.
