Johnny Mundo Talks Being the Face of Lucha Underground

In WWE, John Morrison was perhaps the most underutilized talent and one of the best workhorses and pure athletes WWE has ever had, but him emerging as a top star never came to fruition because he hit the glass ceiling and left in 2011.

What’s especially interesting is that Lucha Underground has taken a guy like him, turned him into Johnny Mundo, and made him a face of the the promotion. With his experience and history in the business, he’s one of the most valuable assets to the company.

Recently, Mundo did an interview with the Two Man Power Trip podcast about the second season of the promotion and gave his thoughts on being the face of Lucha Underground.

You can listen to the full interview right here. Below is what Mundo had to say on the subject:

One of the cool things about Lucha Underground is since day one everyone involved has done a really good job creating a world that feels self contained, free of some of the constraints that wrestling shows have. So being this larger then life and somewhat supernatural world of Lucha Underground it feels as if the characters are multi faceted and have more layers and depth than any wrestling show. The characters are darker also and that accompanies the feel of the production of Lucha Underground being almost like a gritty action film. It’s really cool for me to be a part of and I like that you called me the face of Lucha Underground because I’m one of the only dudes not wearing one of those funky masks.

Do you think WWE misused John Morrision while he was in WWE?
