** Morrison and the Miz's initial tag team title run taking place (at least when it did) was a result of WWE needing to write out [[Matt Hardy]], one half of the previous champions, to take care of his appendix issues.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Yes he wears sparkling glittery animal print longcoats, he's still a badass.

* [[Redemption Demotion]]: His [[Heel Face Turn]] has not worked out so well, while he was a [[Heel]], his arrogant pretty boy meets pretentious rockstar gimmick made him many fans, as a face, he's floundered with finding an interesting character, though his burgeoning [[Le Parkour]] is a step in the right direction. In part, this is due to him being pretty [[Genre Savvy]] with pop culture and wrestling and snarky. As a heel, this meant he could poke fun at most anything. But faces generally don't do that sort of thing so his promo style got a little deflated- somewhat ironic considering his flashy wrestling style and move-set is much more suitable for a babyface.

** Probably has something to do with the fact that his ''ECW On Sci-Fi'' promos and videos for ''The Dirt Sheet'' were his own ideas with him just goofing off and having fun with it, whereas his promos for the past two years...[[Executive Meddling|weren't]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: The [[Chuck Norris|Flying Chuck]]

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Heel.

* [[Spicy Latina]]: His girlfriend, [[Hello, Nurse!|Melina]], widely considered to be one of the more talented divas, oh, and [[Even the Girls Want Her]].

* [[Spot Monkey]]: There have been some [[Internet Backdraft|very hotly contested]] debates as to whether or not Morrison counts as a [[Spot Monkey]]. The general consensus is that he is one, but is much better than the usual example in that he actually has a sense of [[Wrestling Psychology|psychology]]. He did improve in that area in 2011, as noted in [[Wrestling Psychology]] below.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Got some backstage heat for giving the cold shoulder to [[Trish Stratus]] when they were having an angle together because he felt she took Melina's spot on the card at Wrestlemania XXVII. That he allegedly did it at Melina's insistence while she has cheated on him with other wrestlers in the past makes him look like a [[Henpecked Husband|Henpecked Boyfriend]] as well.

* [[When He Smiles]]: When he smiles, he looks even more Bishonen and around ten years younger.

* [[Wrestling Psychology]]: Made a major improvement in this area in 2011, selling injuries like a pro and telling stories with his matches (see the [[Beware the Nice Ones]] entry), especially when it comes to his legs. During his ''Elimination Chamber'' match, he was either acting like [[Spider-Man]] or looking like his knee was about to explode.

** The night after Elimination Chamber 2011, he and [[CM Punk]] faced each other in the opening match on Raw. They were the only two participants of the EC match who were selling the prior night's injuries, including limping and a general aura of soreness. (Although considering the beating both men took that previous night, you kind of have to wonder how much of that was selling.)
