The night the Zombies invaded the WWE ThunderDome, at least one person loved it.
The former WWE Intercontinental Champion and new MLW National Openweight Champion, John Morrison, joined The Wrestling Perspective Podcast this week. The show is hosted weekly by Lars Frederiksen of the Punk Rock Band "Rancid" and Dennis Farrell.
Morrison was asked about the infamous Zombie Lumberjack Match and how he informed his opponent, Damian Priest, about the match and what it kind of match it was going to be.
"I heard about the match and told Damien Priest what we're doing. He walked over to The Miz and said, "what the fuck is John talking about, some weird shit? Like, he said, we are having a zombie lumberjack match; is he just fucking with me or what?" Morrison said.
Damian Priest would defeat Morrison in the match, but Morrison would explain why he enjoyed the unconventional match and what stood out because of it.
Morrison said, "to be honest, I loved it, it's so weird, and it did not make any sense. Then again, wrestling doesn't have to make sense. So we both got eaten by zombies and then just came back the week after.
The Miz, in an interview with Connor Casey of ComicBook.com, talked about how many people "gave them flack for going outside the box" for that match.

Morrison shared that on that same day, how he got ribbed by WWE Superstar and NXT Producer Scott Garland [Scotty 2 Hotty].
"The craziest part of that whole day was that there's this one zombie that followed me around for five minutes and kept kind of touching me. I didn't want to be rude to him, but finally I said get the fuck away from me, and it was Scotty 2 Hotty. He had such good makeup on that I didn't know it was him. I was trying to be really polite because I didn't know who these people were, and I knew that they had spent hours in this prosthetic makeup stuff. Yeah, bro. He got me so good that day." Morrison said.
John Morrison defeated Davey Richards for the MLW Openweight Championship on the February 28th episode of MLW Underground with the help of his wife, Taya Valkyrie. Fightful provides results for every MLW event, which can be found on our results page by clicking here.
