What He Was: Morgan did have a brief WWE run, but he spent far more time in TNA and didnt have to play a stuttering fool. He started as Jim Cornettes 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 Hogans 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 hed go back to WWE or not, and it was TNAs 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 didnt bother touting that face, since he lost just as much as he won, and rarely dominated. What a m-m-m-mistake.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
