10 Wrestlers Who Fell Off The Face Of The Earth

10. John Morrison Tires Of WWE Grind

Tearing it up as part of the Smackdown roster throughout 2009-2010, John Morrison was considered by most as someone WWE would eventually push to the top of the card. Athletic as they come and sporting a good look, Morrison was regularly part of the best matches on each show, and it seemed just a matter of time before he would be wearing the WWE Title or World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Pushed as the 'Prince Of Parkour' by the company, the former member of the MNM tag-team (then performing as Johnny Nitro) was often dazzling, and fans enjoyed his high-risk style. Then, something happened, and the man behind the character, John Hennigan started to become disillusioned with life in WWE. At Wrestlemania 27, Morrison teamed with Trish Stratus and Jersey Shore star Snooki, but rumours of a rift with management over why his real-life girlfriend, Melina wasn't in the match instead of Stratus surfaced. From there, and throughout 2011, it didn't seem like WWE and Morrison were seeing eye-to-eye. Towards the tail end of the year, the man announced he was taking some time off to heal injuries, and hasn't been seen in the promotion since.
