John Morrison to TNA?
It is said that if Mercury is signed, then John Morrison may be on tap to come to TNA according to an inside source of mine. Morrison has given his notice to the WWE that he will give them up to four weeks before his WWE contract ends to give him a World Title.
If the WWE does not give him one, he will leave. Also, Morrison is the first 21st Century wrestler to have a no compete clause attached to his contract. If you remember, Rick Rude left the WWE after appearing for the last time on RAW, then went to WCW and appeared on Nitro, making him the first to ever accomplish the feat.
Since then, every wrestler in the WWE has had a no compete clause of some sort attached to their deal to prevent it from happening again. Morrison is the first not to have it since then, which is shocking to me.
Realistically, he could be on SmackDown one week, then appear on iMPACT the following week. His WWE contract ends at some point in the Spring, around May I believe.
Word going around backstage is that the WWE wants to either have Morrison win the Royal Rumble coming up at the end of this month, or have him win the Money in the Bank match at Wrestlemania 26. He would probably cash the briefcase in that night on one of the World Champions.
