To each their own. Morgan had the pedigree and a legit athletic background to be a star. He was a good NCAA D1 player, similar to Kevin Nash. He had a great look. He could also talk. That's why I never understood why WWE gave him that Stutter gimmick. The guy has a BA in Public Speaking.

He is a local politician down in Florida now. I think he is a city commissioner or something similar. WWE does turn out a lot of politicians these days it seems.

I thought Morgan actually really did have a speech impediment that he overcame and that was why WWE gave him the stutter gimmick, was still trash tho.

But yeah, I really thought TNA was gonna push him so hard after those matches with Angle and then he just ended up in shitty programs with Abyss and Hernandez and that was that.

I would have said Drew McIntyre, back when he first arrived, had ridiculous hype, and then he fell off the earth, but, obviously that turned around for him.

I don’t know if Asuka would count because she did have a good run there, but, then they just wasted the hell out of her and she just feels obscure to me, not really as “important” and she once was, she’s just “there”. I would have thought she’d stay on too much longer.

McIntyre had he rocket strapped to him til him and his wife started beating each other up. He should finally become a top guy either this year or next

If you got pushed to the moon....there is only a fall afterwards.

There's only a few who could stay on top and any person who heads up any entertainment group would love to mass produce those.
