During Morrison’s tenure with IMPACT Wrestling, then known as Johnny Impact, Morrison challenged then-IMPACT World Champion Austin Aries in the main event of Bound For Glory 2018 for the IMPACT World Championship.
However, the feud quickly blurred the lines from a typical professional wrestling angle into a shoot on social media, with both wrestlers trading personal insults at each other.
The match took place at Bound For Glory in 2018, where John Morrison defeated Austin Aries to capture the IMPACT World Championship for the first time in his career. However, the match is infamous for being Austin Aries’ last match with the promotion.
Once the match was over, Austin Aries no-sold the finish of the match and proceeded to shout at commentator and Executive Vice President of IMPACT Wrestling, Don Callis, at ringside before flipping everyone off in sight.
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, current WWE Superstar John Morrison revealed that despite the infamy of the match, the blur between the lines of fiction and reality make the match one of Morrison’s favourites in his career:
