John Randall Hennigan[1] (born October 3, 1979),[2] better known by his ring name John Morrison, is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he performs under the ring name Johnny TV. He also performs for their sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). He is best known for his tenures in WWE, Impact Wrestling and Lucha Underground. He also performs on the independent circuit under various ring names.
After winning Tough Enough III (a WWE reality TV competition show that awarded winners a wrestling contract with the company), Hennigan was assigned to its developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling. WWE promoted Hennigan to its SmackDown! roster in April 2005 under the ring name Johnny Nitro; winning the WWE Tag Team Championship with Joey Mercury in his first match on the show. Hennigan has also held main event roles in several promotions outside of WWE, including Impact Wrestling, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and Lucha Underground. Outside of WWE, he has used many different ringnames, sometimes simultaneously, all of them variations of the first name "Johnny" with a last name in relation to the company he appears in; those have included Johnny Impact in Impact Wrestling and Johnny Mundo in various mexican promotions, in which he often used a "foreign invader" gimmick.
Hennigan has won the ECW World Championship, AAA Mega Championship, Impact World Championship, and Lucha Underground Championship once each. In WWE, he also held the Intercontinental Championship three times, and was a six-time tag team champion. In lucha libre, Hennigan was a central fixture in all four seasons of Lucha Underground, and was AAA's first-ever triple champion, holding the AAA Mega Championship, AAA Latin American Championship, and AAA World Cruiserweight Championship simultaneously. He has headlined multiple major events for WWE and Impact, including the latter company's flagship event, Bound for Glory, in 2017 and 2018.
Outside of wrestling, Hennigan has also worked in the film and television industry. In film, he has mainly worked as an actor, producer and stuntman. He also competed as a contestant on the 37th season of the competitive reality show Survivor.
