Gifted, more talented wrestlers will often play the Morton, since this covers the weaknesses of his partner(s) and makes the heels look good at the same time. Sting would do this when teamed with Lex Luger and Randy Savage in the mid-to-late 1990s, since both men were aging and not able to sell as well as they could in their respective primes. |

You might see heels get to play Ricky Morton too, which sets up a story where the face beats the heel around to make the fans happy, the heel tags in his fresh partner (who creams the tired face), and the face finally tags in his partner (who creams the heels and wins the match). This has a pretty good narrative flow to it. Another twist is for both sides to play Ricky Morton ''at once'' -- the match eventually becomes about whether the face or the heel will tag their partner in first, getting the advantage. |
