 John  "Johnny"  Randall  Hennigan : (born  October  3,  1979)  is  an  American  professional  wrestler  and  actor,  who  is  best  known  for  his  work  in  WWE  where  he  was  better  known  by  his  ring  names  John  Morrison  and  Johnny  Nitro.  He  is  currently  working  for  Lucha  Underground  as  Johnny  Mundo.

 Hennigan  entered  Tough  Enough  III,  a  televised  competition  that  would  award  the  winner  a  WWE  contract.  He  was  one  of  the  winners  in  the  competition  and  assigned  to  their  developmental  territory,  Ohio  Valley  Wrestling  (OVW),  to  continue  his  wrestling  training.  While  situated  at  OVW,  he  was  placed  in  a  tag  team  with  Joey  Mercury,  and  the  duo  won  the  OVW  Southern  Tag  Team  Championship  on  one  occasion.  Alongside  their  manager  Melina,  the  stable  was  called  MNM.

 After  signing  with  WWE,  MNM  was  called  up  to  the  SmackDown!  roster  and  on  their  debut  in  April  2005,  Hennigan  and  Mercury  went  on  to  win  the  WWE  Tag  Team  Championship.  When  their  third  and  final  reign  ended  in  May  2006,  Hennigan  and  Melina  turned  on  Mercury.  Hennigan  and  Melina  were  let  go  from  the  SmackDown!  roster  and  debuted  on  the  Raw  brand.  During  his  time  with  the  brand,  Hennigan  competed  in  singles  competition  and  won  the  WWE  Intercontinental  Championship  twice.  In  June  2007,  Hennigan  was  drafted  from  Raw  to  the  ECW  brand.  During  that  time,  he  won  the  vacant  ECW  World  Championship  once,  and  was  a  sporadic  world  title  contender  for  the  remainder  of  his  tenure  with  WWE.  He  formed  a  partnership  with  The  Miz  in  late  2007,  with  the  two  capturing  the  WWE  Tag  Team  Championship  and  the  World  Tag  Team  Championship  on  separate  occasions,  and  winning  the  2008  Tag  Team  of  the  Year  Slammy  Award.  They  split  in  April  2009,  and  Morrison  returned  to  SmackDown,  where  he  won  the  Intercontinental  Championship  for  the  third  time  in  September  2009.  In  November  2011,  Hennigan  left  WWE,  and  began  wrestling  overseas  and  on  the  United  States  independent  circuit.
