12 TNA Talents Unfairly Held Back

By Andrew Soucek /

10. Matt Morgan

What He Was: Morgan did have a brief WWE run, but he spent far more time in TNA and didn€™t have to play a stuttering fool. He started as Jim Cornette€™s right hand man, then developed into a singles act. A couple of times he looked poised to breakout, but was pulled back into tag teams that went nowhere (with Hernandez and Abyss), or in angles that also went nowhere (stealing Hulk Hogan€™s cape). The biggest waste of Morgan's talent came when his contract ran up and he was off TV for months. A buzz began to build on whether he€™d go back to WWE or not, and it was TNA€™s time to strike hot with him. He finally came back to the company...and teamed with Joey Ryan. What He Should Have Been: Hyped as the most athletic big man in all of wrestling, and treated as a top guy. Over the past decade, WWE has had The Undertaker, Kane, The Big Show and The Great Khali as their resident giants. While three of those guys are capable of putting on some good to great matches, none were in the same league as Morgan athletically. TNA didn€™t bother touting that face, since he lost just as much as he won, and rarely dominated. What a m-m-m-mistake.
