12 Wrestlers Who Did Their BEST Work In TNA & IMPACT

12. Matt Morgan

While TNA was generally a promotion that was more accommodating to smaller workers, it remains curious that a big man with limitless potential had to go there to catch a break. Matt Morgan did that, and 'The Blueprint' was a staple of TNA’s television through the good, the bad, and the losing tag titles to 2010 Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

That latter memory was one of Morgan’s rare negative moments in TNA. From the day he came into the company in 2007, Morgan was heavily featured in singles and tag team competition on both sides of the ledger, feuding with Abyss, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles and the rest. His run came to an end in 2013, notwithstanding a number of brief returns in years since.

Morgan was a relatively protected star in TNA, portrayed as a dominant physical presence with more than his fair share of mental faculties. In WWE, Morgan was saddled with a stuttering gimmick, which got over just about as well as one presumes. In an attempt to salvage it, Morgan was also given the honour of hitting Big Show with an F-5 (during Brock Lesnar’s time away from the company), but the whole stuttering thing was too big a hurdle to overcome.
