This is a concept that came to me today during my lunch break and I figured I'd present it to you as a discussion topic. We all know what went down last Sunday, and how TNA currently needs to be "saved". Most are predicting that AJ Styles will be the guy to save TNA from the Aces. But with this idea of mine we would still see AJ save TNA, just not from Bully and his biker cohorts.
It's no secret Hogan is high on Matt Morgan. One just has to browse between the pics of Brooke's cleavage and what else he has on his twitter to find him praising and talking highly about Matt. And since Matt returned as a heel at BFG last year he has been at odds with Hulk on screen. So here is what I see happening.
Bully is set up vs Angle at Slammiversary (Angle is the most credible main event face to go after him at Slammi so I am working off of that). Leading up to Slammiversary Hulk is trying to work over Morgan, to get him to help in the war against Aces and Eights whilst Dixie is trying to convince AJ to help. Angle loses to Bully and the Aces continue dominating. Eventually Morgan agress to help Hogan, but he makes it clear that he isn't doing it for anyone but himself. Morgan faces Bully at BFG for the title due to AJ simply refusing (furthering AJ's character change and buildingthe suspense around what will happen to the phenomenal one) During this entire build we build Morgan as much more credible as a main event monster, let him also put on some more muscle and learn some more powerful power moves. Morgan goes over bully at BFG and as Hogan gets in the ring to congratulate him, he eats a carbon footpring. Gone is the dark days of the Aces and Eights, here are the dark days of the beast Matt Morgan. Morgan goes on a dominant reign as champion, taking out Storm, Angle and any other challenger that goes at him and then, finally then! Does AJ Styles, the dark and brooding tweener who has waged war with both sides just wanting to be left alone. Decide to throw his hat in the game.
Does anyone else see this concept working? Would Morgan even work as a dominant monster heel at the top?
