3 reasons why John Morrison returning to WWE is great (and 3 why it isn't)

3. Great: His legitimacy could bring some new eyes and some old fans back to the WWE fold

Morrison has always been loved by the fans

Morrison had been gone from WWE for about eight years. During his time away, he has proved himself as a star in various promotions all over the world. He has a good following which WWE will certainly be looking forward to getting aboard their wrestling juggernaut. This might be in terms of increased network subscription or a much-needed boost to the TV ratings, both of which count as a victory for the company. Vince, being the smart manager he is, must have given a good thought to this before signing the 40-year-old. Nevertheless, in his capacity as a WWE superstar, Morrison managed to have a devoted fan following of his own. The company must also be counting on the nostalgia factor and expecting to gain some lost fans who switched their loyalties when Morrison left in 2011.
