A biography for John Morrisonhasn’t been written yet.
“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!”
“The thing that I didn't take into consideration is that acting, like wrestling, is a skill.”
“'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.”
“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.'”
“Touring is exciting.”
“Vampiro preys upon people's dreams and lies to people, but he doesn't keep track of his lies.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.'”
“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.”
“The secret of having a successful promotion is having an awesome promotion with wrestling matches that people like.”
“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.”
“I know that there's pros and cons to everything.”
“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.”
“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.'”
“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.”
“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.”
“I guess when you play 'Survivor,' almost everyone gets got.”
“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.”
