As far as WWE comebacks go, John Morrison certainly had one of the more low-key returns in recent memory. The Shaman of Sexy first reemerged with the sports entertainment giant for an interview on web series The Bump in December last year, before making his first SmackDown appearance in almost a decade when he answered the door in a very brief moment as he realigned himself with The Miz. Things have certainly picked up since then – with the former tag team champs challenging The New Day for the gold on Thursday, 28 February at Super ShowDown – but JoMo has admitted he had some different thoughts about how he should be reintroduced to the WWE Universe . Speaking to Metro.co.uk , he said: ‘Well, originally I pitched it differently [laughs] but so far, the way it’s played out I’m extremely happy with it. I’m excited because it wasn’t a cliche like, “Here comes John Morrison running out”… ‘It felt like more intrigue just showing up on SmackDown in almost a cameo … [Read more...] about WWE’s John Morrison originally pitched a singles run before his low-key comeback

Former WWE star John Morrison debuts as Johnny Elite on AEW Dynamite six months after release
John Morrison made his AEW Dynamite debut this week as the Joker in the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament. The former WWE superstar – who was released from Vince McMahon’s company in November 2021 three years after making a highly anticipated return – appeared under the moniker Johnny Elite to face Samoa Joe. He came out to an amazing ovation in the opening match of the night, even if plenty of fans were expecting someone like Johnny Gargano or Cesaro in the spot. Elite – whose real name is John Hennigan – was given a chance to shine in this quarter final match up, and had the crowd biting every time he came close to beating the Samoan Submission Machine later in the bout. In the end, the former Intercontinental Champion fell after Joe got the knees up on a Starship Pain attempt and deliver the Muscle Buster for the win. The current Ring of Honor (ROH) Television Champ keeps on rolling and advances to the semi-finals, but he was attacked after the bell … [Read more...] about Former WWE star John Morrison debuts as Johnny Elite on AEW Dynamite six months after release
Bowie v Elvis: How rock stars took over Cannes
Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, David Cronenberg, K-Stew. The Cannes organisers have certainly rallied the A-list troops for the rabidly anticipated 75th edition of the film festival, which kicks off today. After last year’s Covid instalment – an understandably muted, half-mast affair – the promise this year is a full blast of Cannes delirium, with rumoured controversies, proper parties and paparazzi galore. If this suggests a rocking good time, selectors are tripling down on that threat with air-guitar largesse, by unveiling a hat-trick of high-profile features about music legends: Elvis Presley, David Bowie and Jerry Lee Lewis. The latter two are documentaries, while Elvis is a full-blown jukebox biopic from Baz Luhrmann , who hasn’t made a film since 2013’s Cannes curtain-raiser The Great Gatsby. First up is Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind, a breezy-looking, 73-minute portrait of one of rock ’n’ roll’s original wild men, whose career nose-dived when he married his 13-year-old … [Read more...] about Bowie v Elvis: How rock stars took over Cannes
Prince Harry mouths ‘you look amazing’ to Meghan Markle as they meet at altar
The first words Prince Harry said to his bride Meghan Markle as they met at the altar were ‘you look amazing’. Meghan, who will become an HRH and the Duchess of Sussex after marrying Harry, looked radiant and smiled as she replied with ‘thank you’. Harry, who is now the Duke of Sussex after being given the title by the Queen in the morning, looked slightly nervous as he waited patiently at the altar in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. He was dressed in his smart frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals, and flanked by his best man and older brother the Duke of Cambridge. Michael Fabricant jokes about rape allegation against fellow Tory MP Meghan made her entrance in a stunning wedding gown by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, giving the world its first proper look at the dress as she stepped from her vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom IV.

How did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle meet and when did they get married?
It feels like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ’s wedding was ages ago. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have since quit as working members of the Royal Family – a move dubbed ‘Megxit’ – and swapped their lives in the UK for a stint in Canada.

Royal family’s reactions to Bishop Michael Curry’s show stealing appearance
I think we can all agree Reverend Michael Curry absolutely stole the show at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ’s wedding by delivering a show stopping sermon. The bishop’s words rose in a passionate crescendo as he spoke of the link between love and the divine, his style a stark contrast to the sober delivery of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was officiating. For the Royal Family, the animated performance would be a departure from the type of sermons they normally see at church services. At times several of the congregation could be seen smiling and exchanging glances. Even Harry got the giggles. Zara Tindall gave ‘massive side eye’ and reached for her bible, while Mike couldn’t tear his eyes away. #RoyalWedding pic.twitter.com/ON8Al3tEMa — Jonathon (@JonathonRabbit) May 19, 2018 The Queen and Prince Phillip looked bemused. Kate couldn’t keep a straight face. Prince Charles and Camilla were trying to figure out what was happening. … [Read more...] about Royal family’s reactions to Bishop Michael Curry’s show stealing appearance
