John Morrison Confirmed For “Survivor” Season 37 In First Official Trailer
A trailer for the latest season of CBS’s award-winning reality series Survivor revealed Impact Wrestling/Lucha Underground star John Morrison has slingshot his way into the cast.
The theme for season 37 is “David vs. Goliath.” As you can imagine, Morrison will be on Team Goliath.
“I’m as fast as a Corvette and as big as a Hummer,” Morrison says in the trailer. “Millions of wrestling fans know me as Johnny Mundo, the mayor of Slamtown. I’ve been a champion of every organization that I’ve worked for. I’m something extraordinary.”
Team Goliath is described as competitors who come from privilege and have capitalized on their advantages to crush the competition — including in the professional wrestling ring. Naturally, that leaves Team David to be like the rest of us who don’t have an 8-pack and luscious, flowing hair.
Earlier this month, we reported Morrison had been rumored to be part of the latest Survivor taping.

Aerostar Injured At Last Night’s Impact Wrestling Tapings
Aerostar suffered an injury at last night’s Impact Wrestling Tapings in Orlando.
Aerostar was teaming with Andrew Everett & DJZ, which ended with Everett hitting Aerostar with a 630 to win the match. Aerostar was apparently hurt taking the move, and the referee made the X sign. A medic, Sonjay Dutt, Taya Valkyrie and Scott D’Amore all hit the ring to check on Aerostar.
Aerostar was on the mat for a while, but eventually sat up and walked to the back with the assistance of referees.
Aerostar posted the tweet below this morning noting that he was headed back to Mexico City, but that he hopes to be back for Impact Wrestling soon:
