Letter to John Morrison (By Emily)

I guess now I know what it feels like when the first wrestler you really fall in love with leaves. And it really sucks. Like, a lot. I honestly look forward to any match John Morrison is in, just because it’s always something spectacular. It really makes it an incredible experience; whether he wins or loses, it doesn't even matter because it's amazing no matter what. Watching his DVD is what really got me captivated into the world of wrestling. In fact, if it wasn't for that DVD, I probably wouldn't even be as much of a fan as I am today.

I didn't grow up watching wrestling, like most fans. At 18, I didn't even know who people like Hulk Hogan or Undertaker were. I started watching Monday night RAW with friends a while back, but never really got the "Wow, this is incredible" feeling until I saw the first match on the "John Morrison Rockstar" DVD. It really had changed my life. Wrestling helps me cope with depression, stress, loneliness, whatever life throws at me, it's possible to just completely forget about it when watching a really fantastic match. And John Morrison delivered that, time after time.

This is really just an awful feeling. I’ve seen it before in others, crying when Shawn Michaels retired and such, but never felt a real attachment to any performer like this. I was hoping I’d get to see him live, at least once, when I attended RAW this past Monday, but that didn't happen.

I hope, possibly, after his time off he decides to reenter the world of wrestling. But until then, I am glad to have been able to watch him perform. There will never be another wrestler I hold as dear to my heart as John Morrison; and no other performer able to captivate my attention quite like him.
