John Morrison, Johnny Blaze, Johnny Impact, Johnny Mundo, Johnny Nitro, Johnny Onyx, Johnny Spade and Johnny Superstar.

Those are all the names John Hennigan has used during his wrestling career to date, and that's something he regrets. Whilst talking to Chris Van Vliet on YouTube, Hennigan admitted that he'd go back to the start of his career and pick just one name if he could.

It's all down to branding. These days, Hennigan realises that he doesn't own the rights to any of these monikers, and that becomes problematic when trying to sell merchandise. As an independent wrestler, Hennigan lives and breathes on selling himself, so he thinks it's confusing to have run through so many names.

Rather hilariously, Hennigan said he finds it hard to know which name to use depending on who he's talking to about bookings over the phone.
