I was thinking, with the TV exposure I had with WWE – and it’s kind of hard to explain to people sometimes how many countless hours you are on television when you’ve been on the road with WWE – I was thinking that was going to open doors, get me auditions, and get me into a lot of high profile roles. John Morrison
I left for Fiji 36 hours after we wrapped ‘Lucha Underground’ season 4. The producers of ‘Lucha Underground’ had to bend over backwards to get me wrapped out of the season to leave for ‘Survivor.’ John Morrison
I’m as fast as a Corvette and as big as a Hummer. John Morrison
I’ve been spending quite a bit of time writing, acting, and making films. Because I’m doing all this extra writing, acting, and creating short comedy skits with my friends in improv shows, I feel like that’s really filled out my confidence on the mic. John Morrison
I’m a fan of Shinedown. John Morrison
I’ve been pushing and training for Lucha Underground and AAA, as well as parkour and stunt training for my movie, and I’ve blended those styles together for my wrestling. John Morrison
I love being able to perform in the ring in front of people, and that’s the greatest feeling in the world. John Morrison
I knew I wanted to do a movie, an action movie, and when I left WWE in 2011, I didn’t specifically know. I didn’t leave to do ‘Boone: The Bounty Hunter.’ John Morrison
The creative autonomy in ‘Lucha Underground’ is more than I felt in WWE. There is more willingness from the creative and production team to listen to input from the wrestlers in ‘Lucha Underground.’ John Morrison
I know that there’s pros and cons to everything. John Morrison
Prince Puma is one of the most talented people in the history of the business. He can do anything. He’s so ridiculously talented. When you’re in the ring with someone like him, that means that anything is possible. John Morrison
I was tired of just kind of being on that express train, whatever you want to call it, so to speak. It just sort of shoots forward, and you have no creative autonomy, no control over your time, and there’s not much time for side projects or family and friends. John Morrison
What I think ECW presented was a big opportunity for a lot of WWE superstars. Definitely me. It revitalized my entire career when I moved to ECW. John Morrison
I really like binge-watching ‘Survivor.’ Watching week to week is exciting, but it’s difficult because I just want to see what happens. John Morrison
Wrestling promotions are kind of like new religions – nine out of 10 fail in the first year. John Morrison
I can’t tell you how many spot shows little Johnny Nitro, like, pulled the chair out in the arena in Shelbyville Fair and did a moonsault only to get chewed out by Rip Rogers and Jim Cornette about it. I mean, I did years of it. John Morrison
The key to good art is to make something that means something to you. John Morrison
I think the reason that I’ve been able to succeed is that I was a fan of sports entertainment when I was a kid – that’s what I wanted to do. John Morrison
Wrestling is a business: the more promotions the better, more opportunities for wrestlers to work. John Morrison
I’ve been champion of every organization that I’ve worked for. I’m something extraordinary. John Morrison
The secret of having a successful promotion is having an awesome promotion with wrestling matches that people like. John Morrison
Can I bond with people and live for 39 days without my Instagram account? Probably! But the real question for me is this: can I be happy doing that? John Morrison
A lot of people ask me, like, how the characters are different between Nitro and Morrison and Mundo, and the biggest difference is just the names. Like, wrestlers are usually a version of yourself, and the versions of myself haven’t really changed that much. John Morrison
I took Kira to a nice dinner at a place called Moonshadows in Malibu, which is by the ocean, and I organized it so a school of young dolphins swam by our table. I took her for a long walk on the beach after dinner, and I told her all the things I love about her. Then I asked her to marry me. John Morrison
I’ve always appreciated a creative approach to action, doing things that people don’t expect, tweaking things to make them different. John Morrison
My dream mixed-tag match has always been against the ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth. John Morrison
Johnny Nitro was like Johnny Hollywood, Johnny Danger, Johnny Blaze… it’s just an obvious stage, Hollywood name. But John Morrison is more like a real person. John Morrison
Rick Rude is the reason I even got abs in the first place. I was just a fan of the way he did things. He was the kind of guy who would walk into a room and automatically take control. John Morrison
I always liked ‘Johnny Blaze,’ but we announced it on TV, and it was under copyright by Marvel. Then I had ‘Johnny Spade,’ and that name sucked, then I had ‘Johnny Nitro.’ Johnny Nitro was one of my favourite names. John Morrison
If your attitude is good and you want to have good matches and you want to be employed for the right reasons, then I think people start to see that and respect that and respect you as a person, and you can fit in anywhere. John Morrison
I don’t own any of these names. I don’t own Johnny World, Johnny Mundo, John Morrison, Johnny Nitro, Johnny Blaze or Johnny Impact. None of it. John Morrison
Johnny Blaze was my character at OVW. I had all these fancy fire catchphrases: ‘Call the fire department,’ ‘Get your fire extinguishers out, ladies.’ ‘By the time you hear the thunder, it’s going to be too late because the lightning will have already struck.’ That was all my thing. John Morrison
With ‘Lucha Underground,’ it’s really tight, and you don’t need to fast-forward. Everything you’re watching is important and entertaining. John Morrison
‘Lucha Underground’ is like a combination of Lucha Libre, American Pro Wrestling, and gridy action films. It’s got a lot of things I like – action, wrestling, and really good storytelling. John Morrison
I have a singular focus, I’m a perfectionist, and I always want to prove I am the best and the best version of myself. John Morrison
There’s a lot on my plate, but the cool thing is everything that I’m doing I’m really into. I love ‘Lucha Underground.’ I love Impact. I love wrestling every weekend all over the world. John Morrison
If you can do a squat and a pushup, you can build up to becoming a fitness guru. John Morrison
I worked on ‘Boone’ for five years. I tried to find money for it. I couldn’t. I ended up selling my house to finance it personally. John Morrison
The best way to describe ‘Tough Enough’ is to just call it an opportunity. In my opinion, it’s best opportunity any aspiring wrestler could possibly have. John Morrison
When I see action sequences I like, I imagine what I would do if it were me in the fight. John Morrison
I watch other wrestlers. I watch movies with Jackie Chan and Jet Li and Tony Jaa. Then there’s breakdancing and Capoeira – just anything I see that looks awesome that I think I could adapt in the ring. Just your typical Kung Fu, breakdancing, Capoeira moves. John Morrison
At the end of the day, I look at it like this: pro wrestling is really hard on the performers, the luchadoras, and any time a performer is in a position to do something good for themselves and make money, I’m always happy to see that happen. John Morrison
When you leave WWE, like, when I left, I was thinking, ‘Maybe I’ll take, like, a year off, and in that year, I’ll probably do a Marvel movie, maybe a couple of movies. I don’t know.’ And, obviously, completely unrealistic. John Morrison
I can always improve in the ring; I can improve on the mic. I can consistently keep improving. John Morrison
It’s easy to be the Mayor of Slamtown in the wrestling ring. John Morrison
I tried out for ‘Tough Enough’ season 2 originally and made it to the final casting episode and got cut by Kevin Dunn, who said all I wanted to do was run and flip and jump. John Morrison
The roster of ‘Lucha Underground’ would definitely be excited about a fifth season. Same thing with the producers and everybody. John Morrison
When I was leaving WWE, I’d started becoming interested in applying parkour to the matches and using the ring environment in fun, new ways. John Morrison

I’d love to teach Roman Reigns how to work. Just kidding. John Morrison
All through college, I did a lot of break-dancing and all kinds of different martial arts. John Morrison
Hopefully, when people watch ‘Lucha Underground’ and WWE, Ring of Honor, New Japan, AAA, and any other promotion out there, they fall in love with pro wrestling. Pro wrestling, as it affects pop culture, is bigger than any one promotion. John Morrison
I can’t count how many times I’ve heard a wrestling fan say they don’t have enough time to watch ‘Raw.’ Maybe it’s less about not having the time to watch a three-hour show, but it’s more about the time and the patience. You can usually sum up your three-hour ‘Monday Night Raw’ in a five-minute conversation. John Morrison
Nothing’s scarier than wrestling The Boogeyman. John Morrison
Usually, every match in the WWE, I was the one with the stupid ideas. I’m trying to figure out how to jump off the stage or turn the logo into a weapon or obstacle. John Morrison
I don’t think anyone in the WWE really knew that I did parkour. I mean, some of the guys have seen me doing it backstage in arenas before and have always asked about it, but the office didn’t know. John Morrison
With WWE, I mean, as a kid, I was watching ‘WrestleMania,’ and that was my dream. John Morrison
As far as being the guy and really the first guy with the reputation to sign on to be a part of ‘Lucha Underground,’ I take a great deal of pride in it. John Morrison
What’s cool about wrestling is that you do find yourself working with very talented and very versatile opponents. John Morrison
Miz & Morrison, ‘The Greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century,’ was fun because Miz and I have great comedic chemistry for backstage segments and our Internet show, ‘The Dirt Sheet.’ John Morrison
Johnny Nitro was an homage to Eric Bischoff, who, I was his apprentice at the time. I liked that name. Basically, Vince McMahon thought that ‘Nitro’ reminded him of WCW, and when I became the ECW Champion, like, he had a couple times mentioned to me, ‘If you’re going to be a real star, you need a real name.’ John Morrison
I’ve been a fan of ‘Survivor’ for a long time. I even applied for a season. I made a really stupid audition tape. For some reason, I thought if I spoke in a German accent, whoever was casting would think it was funny and put me on the show. But that didn’t work! John Morrison
Football has an off-season. Basketball has an off-season. TV has an off-season. Everything has an off-season except wrestling. John Morrison
Everyone needs to move – if you’re a pro athlete, a contortionist, a computer programmer, or just somebody who wants to play with their kids. John Morrison
Sometimes with the WWE, you can get a little bit stale. Your traveling is usually with the same group, and you’re generally working with the same person and the same type of match, and it’s the same environment backstage. John Morrison
If all you are is a pro wrestler, on some level you eventually become, I feel like, a mindless drone. It’s tough, man, if you’re on the road and you’re doing 200, 250 shows a year. It starts to take a toll on your personal life and who are you as a human. John Morrison
If the path is taking me to a world heavyweight championship, that’s great, but all I really strive for and care about is putting on the best matches I possibly can. John Morrison
That’s what defines ‘Survivor’: it’s the ultimate test of who you are. John Morrison
I guess when you play ‘Survivor,’ almost everyone gets got. John Morrison
Creatively, there are no limits to what you can do in the ring. John Morrison
Vampiro preys upon people’s dreams and lies to people, but he doesn’t keep track of his lies. John Morrison
One thing I really like about ‘Lucha’ is it breaks traditions. It’s established it’s own identity and a world where the character can be darker, multilayered, even supernatural at times. John Morrison
I think anytime you have an event for the first time ever, like a Super Bowl or WrestleMania or UFC, as the years go by, everything becomes more polished with promotion and bigger stars. John Morrison
Everyone knows some day I’m gonna beat the crap out of Seth Rollins – that would be awesome. I’d love to beat the crap out of him. I’d just love to have a great match with Seth Rollins. John Morrison
If you’ve never been to a live wrestling show, you need to go to one. To understand ‘Lucha Underground,’ you need to watch it. John Morrison
Wrestling ultimately comes down to what happens when the bell rings, and it comes down to athleticism, storytelling, and characters – and what we’re doing in ‘Lucha Underground’ is the highest-quality wrestling out there. John Morrison
Lucha is faster paced, harder hitting, and more acrobatic than any other style of wrestling. John Morrison
If I had my career to do over again, I think I would wrestle under my real name, John Hennigan, because if there was some sort of brand test associated with professional wrestling, I would hardcore fail that test because I have so many names, it’s confusing to me, even. John Morrison
The Miz is someone who people are usually like, ‘I can’t believe how well he’s doing. I can’t believe this. I can’t believe that.’ But to me, he’s someone who really always defined what it takes to becomes a successful public persona and in-ring entertainer, and to me, that’s being authentic. John Morrison
I remember when ‘Stranger Things’ came out, if I had to watch one episode a week, I wouldn’t have been nearly as into it as I was when I just sat there and watched the whole thing in, like, two days. John Morrison
Wrestling, for me, is always an awesome challenge because you have the opportunity to constantly create something new, your canvas is always the ring, and there are similarities to every match that you have and what you do. John Morrison
Character is everything. The reason people watch sports entertainment is to see people who are larger than life, but at the same time, there’s something real about them. John Morrison
‘Lucha Underground’ really is the first episodic professional wrestling show. There are storylines in every promotion, but the way ‘Lucha Underground’ is crafted really is more of a TV show than your traditional wrestling show. John Morrison
Working with Lucha and Mexico and all the independent wrestling I’ve done has made me an exponentially better performer. John Morrison
As far as my overall grade or performance in WWE, I’d say I did the best I could at the time. John Morrison
When I get into ‘Lucha Underground,’ now it feels like I’m part of a collaboration. And I’m talking about storylines; I’m talking about how we can put matches together, where we’re going to go, what’s going to happen to ‘Lucha Underground’ as a promotion; what’s going to happen with my character; and I was back in suddenly. John Morrison
When I grew up, my dad listened to all that stuff – Neil Young. Floyd. The Doors. The Beatles. Stones. So even now, to this day, it’s the music I listen to a lot of the time. John Morrison
My favorite part of working with ‘Lucha Underground’ is learning more Lucha, combining that with my WWE psychology, and taking wrestling to a place we’ve never seen before in the evolution of wrestling. John Morrison
I think that Rey Mysterio should come to ‘Lucha Underground,’ and I hope that he does. John Morrison
‘Lucha Underground’ is a combination of new psychology, new moves, and a new take on wrestling: an evolution of wrestling. In my opinion, it is entertaining. It is the kind of wrestling I want to watch. It is the kind of stories I want to tell, which is why I intend to be part of it. John Morrison
Life is a pretty awesome ride. John Morrison
When I’m in the ring with somebody like Puma, it really forces me to level up and rise to the top of my game. It’s sometimes just face-melting, the kind of stuff that he can do. John Morrison
The thing that I didn’t take into consideration is that acting, like wrestling, is a skill. John Morrison
Anyone that’s been with WWE, there’s frustrations of feeling like you can only do so much. The women are told not to punch or to kick, to do power bombs and the power moves, and none of that exists in ‘Lucha Underground.’ John Morrison
Touring is exciting. John Morrison
Out Of Your Mind Fitness is designed to train the human body to move. John Morrison
I’m really excited about producing my first feature, ‘Boone the Bounty Hunter.’ Boone is a bounty hunter that does parkour to catch skips. John Morrison
I felt like I evolved into a great singles wrestler in ECW because of the opportunities to speak and wrestle longer matches. John Morrison
I always try to associate Johnny Mundo, John Morrison, or whatever my name is with high quality. John Morrison
WWE is so huge, and they have to crank out so many hours of television, so they don’t have time to take the care and attention to detail for the entire roster. John Morrison
