John Hennigan (2014)

okay… so…
I took Tae Kwon Do for a few months as a kid & the instructor was this bad ass (he seemed bad ass, but then I was only 8) who would sit around after class and talk about his former tournament fights to the kids… his favorite way to say he was kicking ass was "Man, lemme tell you, I was EATING THIS GUYS LUNCH…"

"… so this was the semi final match, I slipped a round, got inside and BOOM! bam! bam! BOOM! I was EATING THIS DUDES LUNCH when out of now where he threw a hook kick! Bam! caught me in the temple, I was out… man… I would killed the guy in the finals too…"

most of his stories after class to small groups of children went something like that… that phrase made me laugh ever since-

WWE Merch people, & Stephanie all said the phrase was stupid and would never sell, they thought the moneys on the shirt were too weird- All that made me want the damn shirt made ever more so I insisted! … I love that shirt… but no one else did... Lol

Vince: "If you want to be a star, you need a real name… a good name"
… c'maaaannn… just admit it reminded you of WCW- haha

50ShadesofYay!
thanks-
1. almost none. Benoit no showed & the only heels from the ECW roster at Vengence, not working were me & Kevin Thorn. They told me might wrestle a few hours before the PPV started, then about an hour before that I was definitely going to wrestle.

1. Vince never liked the name "Johnny Nitro" he asked me a few times to switch names, I liked Nitro & didn't want to switch but ultimately it was his decision. I made a list of names that I'd like to switch to & he picked John Morrison a few hours before the show-
   I really enjoyed the John Morrison character and am a big fan of the Doors

1. TONS!
   Joey, Melina, & I traveled together- We'd rib each other all the time… one time Joey knocked on our Hotel Room at 3am and meant to throw a bucket of water on me, but I melina was the one that answered the door and she got drenched- haha…
   We got him back a few nights later, then we got carried away with the bucket of water hotel room rib-

… we never thought to put ice in the bucket though...

indubitably!
I'm really happy with Lucha Underground now though, I think it's a great forum for me to perform in my hometown -LA!, with great talent & great peeps

Here's an exclusive sneak peek of tonight's episode of LUCHA UNDERGROUND, which airs at 8 PM ET / PST in which I team up with Prince Puma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kCF0JJAS-o&feature=youtu.be

show starts in 5 minutes on El Rey!

I'd love it too!
I look forward to Kofi's creativity & craziness every rumble-

I got some ideas that haven't be done before though!

Absolutely! When we worked as MNM Mercury always had great input & ideas! Teaming with him & Melina is how I learned tag team psychology so well-

Mercury has been a student of the business his whole life- It showed when we were with MNM, & it makes sense that he's doing so well behind the scenes now-

knowing who you are as a performer.

How does the crowd see you? How do you see yourself? after you've answered those questions, the way you communicate needs to be built and refined-

I like cutting promos as a heel, and wrestling like a face-
but I also love that in wrestling you're character can evolve… should evolve… ahem! (Cena?)

just saying as a fan, I'd love to see him turn heel-

It's interesting!
some of the luchadors in Lucha Underground don't speak english… calling matches is like playing a surreal game of charades- lol

Rumble was one of my favorite PPV's as a kid! If I go back I'll have to think of a way to top the parkour spot in 2011

hahaha!

yes

me.

no.

Thanks gamervd!
Miz & I passed the time on all the long drives between WWE house shows by coming up with funny things to say about the other wrestlers on the roster… goofy catchphrases, songs… stuff that we thought was funny… we'd try to remember all our jokes, then we'd get into the pre tapes room before RAW record the Dirt Sheet episodes- a lot was improv on the fly

Everything I know about lifting I put into my fitness program:

It's a virtual functional personal trainer-
I'm not a great drummer, but I played in college on live public access TV show for a while- haha

Clydesdale horse pants :)

Johnny Mundo is rockin' people's worlds!!
haha… Lucha Underground is going great! A new episode starts in 20 minutes! It airs on the El Rey Network-

youtube.com/elreynetwork

Lucha Underground is a combo of Lucha (which is bad ass) Gritty Action Films (again, bad ass) & American Style Pro Wrestling (bad ass)
a trifecta of badassery!
Couldn't say no to it

JR: BAWH GAWD!
Joey Styles: OH MY GOD!
Michael Cole: OH MY GOODNESS!

hmmmm…

Yeah!
Still talk to Matt, he's the best-
He's in Louisville teaching at OVW & managing a few gyms. One of the most positive people I've ever encountered in my life.

If Kofi read this he'd say"
"Chall-ANGE!"
challenge with a french accent… he says that a lot- lol

Casey Jones!

haha… probably some day I will-

I have too many stage names!

awesome-
I'd love to get some Doors music in Boone: The Bounty Hunter, or one of the movies I'm working on, but those right are expensive!!
