TNA wrestler Matt Morgan joined Brian Fritz and Vito DeNucci on Between the Ropes this past Tuesday night to discuss Sunday’s Lockdown Pay-Per-View, the evolution of his television character, and more.
Morgan addressed his time competing in WWE rings and the lack of character development put into most of the company’s debuting “big man” grapplers. “When I was in WWE, they threw a pair of black trunks or silver trunks on me, and Ta da! Here’s this big, giant seven-foot guy with no … no-one ever gave me any rhyme or reason as to why I was out there – I was just out there. And that’s attribute to the way WWE ninety-percent of the time brings in big guys. It’s good and it makes for shock TV at the time, but in the long run there’s no longevity in those runs if you‘re not really well-developed.”
