If we could just replace Miz matches with John Morrison matches, we’d all be better off. Monday showed us a good example why.

JoMo faced Damain Priest in a bout that was short and showed just enough of a preview that made this writer want to see a fully developed match between the two. Both men fired off creative kicks and some high-flying moves, including a second rope Spanish Fly, before Priest abruptly won the match with Hit the Lights.

Unfortunately, we probably won’t see this again for a while, but it was a reminder of some of the talented wrestlers on the roster and what they’re capable of, even if only given a few minutes to perform.
