10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About John Morrison

3. The WrestleMania XXVII Drama

Heading into WrestleMania XXVII, Morrison was slated to team with the returning Trish Stratus and reality TV star Snooki against Dolph Ziggler and LayCool. It was a death spot match sandwiched in between Triple H vs. The Undertaker and John Cena vs. The Miz, but that's not why JoMo was unhappy.

His annoyance was caused by the fact his on/off girlfriend Melina had been overlooked in favour of Stratus; reports at the time claimed Melina was outraged Trish had been brought out of retirement for a spot she believed she deserved. That led to Morrison visibly shunning Stratus at 'Mania, and it p*ssed the legend off.

Who knows why Morrison and Melina took umbrage at Trish's spot, but not non-wrestler Snooki's.

After the match was over, John awkwardly ignored Stratus' celebrations and looked like he'd rather be anywhere else than out there with her. It didn't help the moment, and it didn't help Morrison's cause in the company.
