Johnny IMPACT

**John Randall Hennigan** (born October 3, 1979) is an American professional wrestler, actor and traceur, who wrestled for IMPACT Wrestling under the ring name **Johnny IMPACT**. He is best known for his tenure in WWE where he used the ring names **John Morrison** and **Johnny Nitro**. He is also known for wrestling in the independent circuit, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and Lucha Underground under the ring name **Johnny Mundo**.

Hennigan was the winner of *Tough Enough III*, a televised competition that would award the winner a WWE contract, and was assigned to their then developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), to continue his wrestling training. While in OVW, he adopted the ring name Johnny Nitro and was placed in a tag team with Joey Mercury. The duo won the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship and alongside their manager Melina, the stable was called MNM. MNM was called up to the *SmackDown!* roster and on their debut match in April 2005, Hennigan and Mercury won the WWE Tag Team Championship. After the stable split, Hennigan won the ECW World Championship and his ring name changed to John Morrison. He then formed a partnership with The Miz in late 2007, with the two capturing the WWE Tag Team Championship and the World Tag Team Championship, as well as winning the 2008 Tag Team of the Year Slammy Award.

After leaving WWE in November 2011, Hennigan began wrestling overseas on the independent circuit before wrestling in lucha libre professional wrestling promotions Lucha Underground and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. In Lucha Underground, Hennigan won the main event of the debut episode, as well as the first ladder match and steel cage match in the promotion's history. He is also the second Triple Crown Champion, having held the Lucha Underground Championship, the Gift of the Gods Championship and the Trios Championship once each. In AAA, he was the promotion's first-ever triple champion, holding the AAA Mega, Latin American and World Cruiserweight Championships simultaneously. He also (with partners Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Brian Cage) won the 2016 Lucha Libre World Cup.
