Call him Johnny Impact, Johhny Mundo, Johnny Nitro, or even just plain John Morrison but don't call him a minor league player.

When the former John Morrison left WWE, a few figured he would struggle on the indie scene, but that has been far from the case, with Johnny Impact holding gold in 2018. How did the year treat him overall?

Win loss record: Johnny Impact enjoyed twenty losses in 2018 while tasting defeat twelve times, an excellent record: Grade: A

Championships: Johnny Impact held both the AAA world Heavweight title and the Impact World title, though not concurrently, in 2018, an impressive feat: Grade: A+

Popularity: The fans know that Johhny Impact will give them a good show and respond accordingly, but he has always struggled to truly resonate with the fans. Perhaps ditching his fur coat and sunglasses and playing on his 'from the bottom up' success story might help. Grade: B-

Mainstream Popularity: Johnny Impact has appeared in some non-wrestling projects as an actor, but he is nowhere near the level of, say, Dwayne Johnson in this regard. Grade: C+

Overall Grade: B+ Johnny Impact had a stellar 2018 and deserves recognition for his success.
