John Morrison On Lucha Underground, NXT Impressing Him & Who He’d Like To Face, His Acting Career, What Does He Think Of Miz’s Gimmick?

John-Morrison.net conducted a two part Q&A session with John Morrison earlier this month, and talked to the current Lucha Underground star about his acting career and projects he’s working on, including being a part of Lucha Underground, his thoughts on NXT and who he’d want to face, and much more. You can read some excerpts from the full Q&A here: 

John Morrison on Lucha Underground:  

Lucha Underground has gotten me really excited about wrestling again. The talent & production value are amazing. I really like the way the El Rey creatives are presenting the show. Lucha Underground feels like it’s own wrestling world. Not trying to copy any other organizations formula. It’s also really cool to be apart of something from day 1 and be here while it grows into something bigger.

Morrison’s thoughts on NXT: 

I love NXT, I think it’s a great show, and refreshing sometimes. The passion & ideas of the newer talent is cool to watch- Just like a lot of times college football is more fun to watch than the NFL.

His thoughts on Miz’s current gimmick:

Love it! Reminds me of something I pitched as Johnny Nitro.

Would we want to work with Miz again?

Totally! that’d be ridonkulous! – all that stuff we did on “The Dirt Sheet” felt like we were constantly writing & starring in little movies every week. 

Which NXT star would Morrison currently like to face: 

I’ve had the privilege of wrestling some of those guys since I’ve been gone. I really enjoyed working both Sami Callihan [Solomon Crowe] & Kevin Steen [Kevin Owens] – both very talented- I’d love to wrestle Generico (Sami Zayn).
