2. John Morrison Talks About Wrestling Needing An Off Season, Success of Lucha Underground & More
During a recent appearance on the Kevin Gill Show, former Intercontinental Champion John Morrison talked about Wrestling needing an Off Season, success of Lucha Underground, Rey Mysterio & more. Below are the highlights:
Wrestling Needing an Off Season:
“There’s no other entertainment show that doesn’t have an off season. There’s no other professional sport that doesn’t have an off season. Part of the good thing about an off season is it gives the performers time to reflect on what they did for he season. It gives the people behind the scenes time to reflect. It gives the writers time to write. And it makes it so there’s no loose ends.”
The Success of Lucha Underground:
“Any pro wrestler will say the more promotions that have successful TV shows, the better. The more places to work as a pro wrestler, the better. Ultimately pro wrestling really comes down to what transpires between pro wrestlers and the fans. And the more opportunities, the more canvases, the more outlets, the better.”
Rey Mysterio in Lucha Underground:
“I can’t say enough good things about Rey. He’s somebody that’s possibly the most popular Luchador of all time. When you’re in Mexico with Rey Mysterio, it’s like walking around in England with The Beatles. Everybody knows who Rey Mysterio is.”
