46-Year-Old Veteran Still Eyeing WWE Or AEW World Title Run
This current AEW and former WWE star still wishes to go on a world title run that has eluded him his whole career.
Former WWE star John Morrison, who was a hit with fans, worked with WWE between 2002 and 2011 and again between 2019 and 2021.
He wrestles as Johnny TV in AEW and also works in its sister promotion, Ring of Honor, along with other promotions in the independent circuit.
With a wrestling career spanning nearly 25 years, the 46-year-old veteran has yet to win the top title in either promotion and believes that he still can, given the opportunity.
John Morrison Wants A WWE Or AEW World Title Run
When most wrestlers plan retirement at 46, Morrison wants to aim for the top prize in the business.
The veteran opened up about the subject on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast and explained how things come in waves in the wrestling business, and if one were to catch that wave, it would take them places. He uses his ECW Heavyweight Championship win as an example.
I mean, you can say what you want about this, but to this day, I still feel like I could be world champion of WWE one day, maybe AEW. I feel like I just need another opportunity. The way wrestling works, in my mind is things come in waves. Might have mentioned that to you before, but you ride a wave for a while, and then it passes and you’re kind of waiting for the next wave.
Sometimes you’re waiting longer than other times, but when waves come and you catch them, they take you places, and like the ECW Heavyweight Championship win for me was like the first huge wave that I caught, and it led me to some really amazing places, and it could have ended up leading me to become a world champion on Raw or SmackDown, or it could have just completely backfired and like, something else weird happened and then led to nothing. So I’m kind of happy with how things turned out, and don’t what if? Anyone watching this, don’t what if?
