Now into his 70's, Vince McMahon shows little sign of slowing down. There have been jokes made that the patriarch of WWE's rich success will pass away long before he has any inkling to retire. That ferocious work ethic is one many passing through the promotion's doors have witnessed, and Matt Morgan is amongst those names.

Working for WWE between 2002-2005, Morgan fit the blueprint of a star McMahon could be expected to push. Physically huge, he also had a rugged look that should have probably bagged him at least one title tilt during his run. That didn't happen, but Morgan kept in supreme physical shape.

Telling Wrestling Inc's podcast about the experience, Matt said he couldn't believe what he was seeing upon witnessing Vince working out. At WWE headquarters, Morgan watched in awe as McMahon went about his routine, grunting and shouting loudly for all to hear.

As focused as they come, McMahon obviously doesn't believe in half measures in the gym. Stunned by the intensity of it all, Matt Morgan was surprised that Vince would be so public with his outbursts of energy.
