TNA/Matt Morgan

It's been a long time since Tough Enough viewers first saw Matt Morgan - on the second season of the show, the colossal 25-year-old was brought onto the cast, but he soon suffered a knee injury that forced him to drop off the show. Nevertheless, he was signed to a contract, though he spent more time in developmental than on the main roster before he was released.

Morgan went on to a lengthy career in TNA, but eventually left the company - and the sport - in 2013. During his career, Morgan had always been large and muscular, but not lean - but that changed after his retirement. Morgan took up bodybuilding and dropped a lot of weight. According to the star himself, he's about 100 pounds lighter than he was when he stepped into that Tough Enough ring in 2002.

Morgan said that while he was wrestling, he always thought that having a little extra meat would help protect him from incurring injuries. Now that he's in the best shape of his life, though, he has no desire to go back to his old shape - despite the fact that he's returning to TNA imminently. In his words, "we'll see what happens."
