John Randall Hennigan is an American professional wrestler and actor, born on October 3,
1979 in Los Angeles, California. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he primarily

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. Hennigan was called up
to the SmackDown! roster in April 2005 under the ring name Johnny Nitro, and in his debut

Hennigan began wrestling overseas on the independent circuit under several ring names,
before finding success in lucha libre wrestling promotions Lucha Underground and Lucha Libre AAA

Hennigan had re-signed with WWE in September 2019 and made his return on January 3,
2020 episode of SmackDown under his John Morrison ring name and resumed his partnership

Hennigan is a practitioner of parkour and often incorporates it into his wrestling style,
giving him the nickname "The Prince of Parkour". He also has a background in amateur wrestling,
breakdancing, gymnastics, and martial arts. Regarding his unique wrestling style,
Hennigan stated in a 2021 interview with Sports Illustrated: "My movement background is different
from everyone on the roster. I was an amateur collegiate wrestler at UC Davis. I also did
gymnastics at UC Davis. I've studied kung fu, boxing, capoeira, stunt fighting, parkour—I am a
master at all those disciplines. Applying those movement patterns is what I do in the ring."
