Former WWE Superstar John Morrison (John Hennigan) recently spoke with Power Up with Tony Horton for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
Morrison was dealing with injuries that kept him out of the ring at the time of this interview. Morrison had some abductor and hip flexor issues, according to Horton, but he didn’t go into specifics about the injury. Flexors enable the hip to bend at the waist, whereas abductors enable the hip to move away from the body’s midline.
When asked if he could fight at that point, Morrison admitted it would be foolish and that if he continued to improve, he’d make a full recovery:
“It would be really stupid to,” John Morrison admitted. “I feel like I’m getting better. And if I continue to get better. I think I’ll make a full recovery. And if I fully tear any of those ligaments…”
Morrison also stated that he believes professional wrestling has two types of performers:
“I think there’s two types of people in wrestling. There’s businessmen and artists, and businessmen really just want to make the most money,” John Morrison said. “Like, what does the office wants from me? Like what would put me in a better position politically? It’s a lot of mindsets versus, what’s the coolest sequence I could do? Or what would pop the crowd? Or I’m going to be in New York; what would be cool in New York? I think that’s like a big distinction, and sometimes it like coincides, and sometimes it doesn’t.”
