Former WWE Superstar and current Lucha Underground star Johnny Mundo, fka John Morrison, recently took part in a Reddit AMA session. He answered a number of fan questions, some of which you can read in the excerpts below:
John Morrison on Lucha Underground:
Lucha Underground is a combo of Lucha (which is bad ass) Gritty Action Films (again, bad ass) & American Style Pro Wrestling (bad ass) a trifecta of badassery! Couldn’t say no to it
Where did the “We’re going to eat your lunch” catchphrase come from?
okay… so… I took Tae Kwon Do for a few months as a kid & the instructor was this bad ass (he seemed bad ass, but then I was only 8) who would sit around after class and talk about his former tournament fights to the kids… his favorite way to say he was kicking ass was “Man, lemme tell you, I was EATING THIS GUYS LUNCH…”
“… so this was the semi final match, I slipped a round, got inside and BOOM! bam! bam! BOOM! I was EATING THIS DUDES LUNCH when out of now where he threw a hook kick! Bam! caught me in the temple, I was out… man… I would killed the guy in the finals too…”
most of his stories after class to small groups of children went something like that… that phrase made me laugh ever since. – WWE Merch people, & Stephanie all said the phrase was stupid and would never sell, they thought the moneys on the shirt were too weird- All that made me want the damn shirt made ever more so I insisted! … I love that shirt… but no one else did… Lol
Would he ever consider a return to WWE?
indubitably! I’m really happy with Lucha Underground now though, I think it’s a great forum for me to perform in my hometown -LA!, with great talent & great peeps
