Quotes from John Morrison

The secret of having a successful promotion is having an awesome promotion with wrestling matches that people like.

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.

My dream mixed-tag match has always been against the 'Macho Man' Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.

The key to good art is to make something that means something to you.

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.

I love being able to perform in the ring in front of people, and that's the greatest feeling in the world.

I don't know why I bother arguing with anybody sometimes, it never changes a damn thing.

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.'

I'd love to teach Roman Reigns how to work. Just kidding.

Lucha is faster paced, harder hitting, and more acrobatic than any other style of wrestling.

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.

Wrestling promotions are kind of like new religions - nine out of 10 fail in the first year.

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.

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.

I felt like I evolved into a great singles wrestler in ECW because of the opportunities to speak and wrestle longer matches.

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.

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.

Wrestling is a business: the more promotions the better, more opportunities for wrestlers to work.

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.

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.

Millions of wrestling fans know me as Johnny Mundo, the mayor of Slamtown.

Touring is exciting.
