John Morrison recently conducted an interview with Chris Van Vliet where he discussed a variety of topics, including the success of his old tag team partner, The Miz. Below are some highlights from the interview with a h/t to PWPodcasts.com for the transcription.

The Miz’s Success

“I’m not surprised. The Miz is someone who people are usually like ‘I can’t believe how well he’s doing. I can’t believe this, I can’t believe that.’ But to me, he’s someone who really always defined what it takes to becomes a successful public persona and in-ring entertainer and to me, that’s being authentic. The Miz is always emphatically himself. He’s always The Miz. He’s in my wedding party.”

Using So Many Different Names

“I don’t own any of these names. I don’t own Johnny World, Johnny Mundo, John Morrison, Johnny Nitro, Johnny Blaze or Johnny Impact. None of it. If I had my career to do over again, I think I would wrestle under my real name John Hennigan because if there was some sort of brand test associated with professional wrestling I would hardcore fail that test because I have so many names it’s confusing to me even. I don’t know how to introduce myself to people on the phone depending on who I’m talking to.”

Who He Would Like To Face In WWE Today

“There’s a lot of cool matchups that are waiting for me in the WWE. I’d love to teach Roman Reigns how to work. Just kidding. Seth Rollins. Unfinished business with The Miz. It’d be fun to get back in there and maybe do some Dirt Sheet episodes with him. Me, Miz, Ziggler and Zack Ryder would have a hell of a faction I think. I’ve never really had a long program with Cena. That’d be a fun one. I have a feeling that Daniel Bryan will be back when he gets cleared.”
