John Morrison Talks About His Experiences On WWE Tough Enough, Calls It An “Opportunity”

June 27, 2015

Former WWE Superstar John Morrison, now known in Lucha Underground as Johnny Mundo, spoke to The News Hub recently about his experience on Tough Enough and Lucha Underground so far.

Below are some of the comments, but the entire interview can be read at the link above.

On Tough Enough:

“The best way to describe Tough Enough is to just call it an opportunity. In my opinion, it’s the best opportunity any aspiring wrestler could possibly have. It’s a chance to learn from the best in the business and meet people who have achieved things in the business that usually take a long time and a lot of work to just be in the same room with. I think that it imitates what it’s like to be on the road and that you’re on Tough Enough and your walking on eggshells constantly everything you do in the ring, out of the ring affects who they select to win that show. I always thought it was a really cool show and I think it’s cool that they are bringing it back and its one of my favorite shows to watch. It’s always a little nostalgic watching that thing and me with Madcap Kelly up there with Al Snow and, Ivory and Bill (DeMott) was one of the most high pressured but also fun times of my life on Tough Enough.

The only thing I think is a shame is I know they are looking for specifically aspiring wrestlers without a lot of experience and I can see how if you’ve been training for a couple of years and you apply for Tough Enough and you don’t make it that it could be disheartening all I can say is that sucks. For me I was lucky enough to apply for Tough Enough before I could really start training and its one way to get your foot in the door as a pro wrestler but it’s not the only way. I don’t know who they’ve selected and I haven’t been following it yet, but I will say that it’s still a TV show.”

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.
