John Morrison (real name John Hennigan) saw his second stint with WWE come to an unceremonious end on Nov. 18 when he was named in the latest round of WWE releases. The former tag team champion broke his silence regarding the news over the weekend, posting a video message thanking everyone for their support. He said, “I want you all to know how grateful I am for the support you gave me during this past run with WWE. I also want you to know that I did in fact receive a phone call from John Laurinaitis during which he told me that my services as a talent were no longer required by WWE. I didn’t even get a ‘best of luck in your future endeavors.’ I mean, if you’re gonna let me go, at least hit your catchphrase, right? I don’t know if it’s something that draws people to professional wrestling or it’s something that happens to people when they’ve been in the business a long enough time but my mind always races toward ways to pop the crowd, even at my own expense. The whole idea of making yourself look bad to make someone else look good is a strange thing but, for me it’s such an important part of what I do. It’s a foreign concept to so many people. I think that’s why this past run with WWE meant so much to me.
