5 Things you need to know about John Morrison

#4 He studied Film at University

Morrison studied film before pursuing a career in the wrestling business

John Morrison had an interesting route into WWE since he was part of Tough Enough back in 2002. A show that he went on to win, which helped him to push forward into a wrestling career. Morrison wasn't a star who had indy experience before he came to WWE since he had attended University of California, Davis and only graduated a few months prior to his appearance on Tough Enough with a major in Film.

Morrison also studied Geology at University but decided that he didn't want to pursue a career in either subject, so he began training to be a professional wrestler at the Supreme Pro Wrestling school in Sacramento, California.

Morrison then applied for Tough Enough II but was unsuccessful in his audition, so applied again the following year, where he was finally accepted. He and Matt Cappotelli were the co-winners of the competition and both earned WWF contracts as a result of the win.

Morrison was later sent to OVW to begin his training before being promoted to the main roster the following year as part of MNM with Joey Mercury and Melina Perez.
