John displayed his otherworldly agility in the ring, but failed to impress WWE's executive producer, who had an especially negative reaction to Morrison's take on Booker T's signature spineroonie (despite being asked to perform the move, rather than simply busting it out of his own accord).

Thankfully, he made it to Tough Enough 3 - and was one of the series' winners alongside Matt Cappotelli.
