* Though dropping off the mainstream fan's radar after him leaving WWE, Johnny Mundo won the debut main-event of Wrestling/LuchaUnderground after a very well-received match against Prince Puma (indy standout Ricochet), setting the tone for a show that's considered to be some of the best wrestling on television. The stereo 450 he and Puma used to win their tag-match the next show is also something for the highlight reels. In a show filled with Lucha legends, Mundo has not only managed to not be lost in the shuffle or out-classed but prove himself to be a much improved worker (accusations of being a SpotMonkey are way down).

* Becoming co-winner of ''WWE Tough Enough 3''. He's also the only winner of the contest still in WWE, and the most successful superstar the show spawned; unless you include the contest which was run on ''[=SmackDown=]'', when he's only second to The Miz.

** Hell, ALL of the matches during that feud with Sheamus. Every single one of them is considered to have been a show stealer. This includes beating a [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable Daniel Bryan match]]. Let that sink in for a minute.
* His Falls Count Anywhere match on the 1-3-11 episode of RAW with TheMiz - especially the double flying cross-body [[HolyShitQuotient from the top]] [[IHaveTheHighGround of the WWE logo.]]
* Tops that by catching himself during Royal Rumble '11, then using his Parkour skills to move about the barrier and then JUMP from it and to the steps before heading back into the ring. He was thrown over the top rope and onto the apron, and was then sent flying into the barricade, but caught the top of it with his arms and its side with his feet. His tightrope and jumping act ensured his feet never touched the floor, and so kept him in the Rumble. He even got a nice kick to William Regal's head in after reaching the steps. Then, when he actually got eliminated, it took ''[[FourIsDeath 4 guys]]'' to take him out. Usually, that kind of force is needed for the uber-giants like TheBigShow.
* And gave a repeat performance of awesome at RAW the next night, during a RAW Battle Royal for the No 1 contender for the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber. About half the match was focused on Morrison avoiding being eliminated in the most insane ways possible.

* John Morrison and the Miz vs. HBK and Rey Mysterio. HBK hits the Sweet Chin Music on the Miz, apparently sealing the match, but Morrison's standing right behind HBK. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uMlq9Y-JEY Cue markout]].

** Note that Josh Mathews was also a Tough Enough contestent and actually has a longer tenure than either one of them. However, unlike JohnMorrison or TheMiz, Josh ended up as a regular commentator in no small part due to his small size.
* His TLC match with {{Sheamus}}. It's widely considered his greatest match, as well as the one that broke him through into the main event scene.

** On top of that, when JohnCena tried to hit Morrison with the Attitude Adjustment, Morrison countered the move in ''mid-air'' and landed on his feet.

* ''Extreme Rules 2011.'' Starship Pain onto [[JohnCena two]] [[TheMiz guys]] from near the top of the cage? (keep in mind that when he normally does the move he springboards off the ropes near the turnbuckle) Holy shit...
