“No Longer Required by WWE” – Former ECW Champion John Morrison Breaks Silence After Shocking WWE Firing

It’s not easy to deal with termination from a job that meant the entire world to you. But, good things do come to an end, and sometimes they’re unexpected. This is what happened with former WWE Superstar John Morrison.

In the latest string of releases, WWE released Morrison. The pro-wrestler had been quiet about the situation but has finally opened up about his release. He opens up quite a lot, but one of the first things he reveals is how WWE informed him about his release.

“I want you all to know how grateful I am for the support you gave me during this past run with WWE. I also want you to know that I did in fact receive a phone call from John Laurinaitis. During which, he told me that my services as a talent were no longer required by WWE. Didn’t even get a best of luck in your future endeavours. If you’re gonna let me go, at least use your catchphrase, right?”

It’s hurtful to not have the job that pushed you to do better every day. As per Morrison, he wanted to always come up with new ways to make the crowd pop, and now, it’s gone.

John Morrison reveals a surreal experience in the arena

The former WWE Superstar had the tendency of going to the arena early. Initially, he thought it would help with his nervousness, but it did sometimes make it worse.

During one such day, he realized how important it was for him to improve his act, skills, and everything else to keep the audience entertained and engaged.

“I would get to the arena super early all the time which actually just gave me more time to be nervous. But, there was one time in particular I remember, I was standing there in the ring, hours before doors. And, looking out at all the empty seats, thinking ‘in couple of hours, this place is going to be completely packed. And, there’s gonna be a person in every one of those seats, staring at me. Expecting me to do stuff. I gotta get better at stuff’.”

Currently, Morrison has quite several days to let pass by before his non-compete clause ends. It’s unknown if he’ll return to pro-wrestling once the period ends, but regardless of what he does, the WWE Universe will not forget his contributions.
