As long as he's not slapped with the stuttering gimmick again, Morgan should be fine.

He's got the talent and the look that Vince loves, so he should be a success in the E. From what I've read though, even though he's fulfilled his amount of dates, his contract doesn't expire until October. So the only thing that worries me is ring rust setting in from now until then.

Have you seen a Red match recently?, the guy gets gassed 7/8 minutes in and that's not even going balls-to-the-wall.

I'll admit, I haven't watched any of his stuff since he left TNA. If you can find me a video PM me it. I'd like to see this for myself.

Also, I could see Morgan doing well in the midcard division for a little bit. But, what would be best for him? Going in as a face, or heel?

That is a bit odd how his has worked all the dates required yet still has four months left on his deal. I thought that it would have expired sooner if he had finished all his committments with the company.

Something tells me he'll be able to work dates in that four months just not with E though I don't really want matt morgan to return because they maybe inclined to put him in the main event and in my opinion they have plenty of guys eligible for that spot they just aren't using them.

Give Morgan another chance in the WWE, I think he'll be quite impressive, maybe a high mid-card wrestler and maybe give him some time and he could have a couple main event matches.

If Morgan does come to WWE, I expect him to start out as a bench-warmer on NXT or something. They certainly won't treat him like a "returning star" and none of those TNA guys ( with the exception of Christian and CM Punk even though I never really considered him a TNA guy) did very well when they jumped ship. Not gonna hold my breath for the guy.

Truth didn't do well? MVP was a resident jobber during FSN days for TNA. Monty Brown also only lost one singles match which was in the tournament for the ECW title and his last match.

As WZ originally reported, Matt Morgan has finished his contractual commitments with TNA, however according to F4WOnline.com he will be participating in a promotional tour for the company next week in Australia.

Morgan has been teasing a potential return to WWE, however, it's being noted that any chance of him actually making a return to the company might be stalled by the ongoing lawsuit between WWE and TNA. The feeling right now is that WWE is holding off on negotiating deals with any former or current TNA talents until the lawsuit blows over.

Doubt he will be participating in the promotional tour or maybe TNA knows they're losing him to WWE so they wanna use him as much as they can. The whole lawsuit bs is a joke anyway.

I actually think that he will be an exception, I highly doubt that Morgan would be sent to NXT first up. I think that he will be pushed as a big signing if he joins WWE again.

MVP and Truth don't count either. Truth was KKwik in WWE first and no one remembers MVP in TNA.

lol Monty Brown he didn't do shit in WWE.

Monty Brown was being pushed to be the big threat against Lashley when he was supposed to be unstoppable. Didn't do shit? He would've if his sister didn't die and he had to start looking after kids ffs.

Monty was number 2 in ecws top stable. He only ever lost one singles match his whole time in ECW and that was when he was alreadys set to leave for his sisters kids. Hell he didn't even take pins in tag , matches. That guy was built up, got tv time every week, was easily a top 5 face of that grand, got put over on commentary, and kept everything but the name including moves with no developmental time. You are kidding yourself if you think he didnt do shit because wwe didn't give it to him or it's on him, he just had to go before the payoff with how he was booked because he had a family to care for full time

How can Truth not count, when he and Morgan are in the same situation? Morgan was the stuttering idiot, like Truth was the rapping one, and both got lost in the shuffle, found themselves in TNA, and we're brought back. Sure Truth was the man but that was in the NWA days as Dixie did everything to lost the 3lk and he had when they hit spike

Hell even Kaz made it straight to the big time, but bitched about a hair cut. Same can be said for Kid Kash, who was in tag and cw title matches without being known but got fired for his behavior and wellness

Monty being on ECW, regardless of his ranking, is still pretty shit. He was never contending on Raw or Smackdown, therefor he didn't matter. ECW was always the bottom of WWE's barrel.

Killings was also a lot more established in WWE as KKwik then Morgan was. Morgan was in WWE a whopping total of 3 months. Killings was in WWE for nearly 3 years, so no, it's not even close to the same thing.

ECW was getting the numbers SD gets rating wise at the time. It isn't like they lacked exposure in his stay or people weren't tuning in. He also made a handfull of ppvs. At the time ECW was only competing with The Shield and Rescue Me for top rated Tuesday night cable programs in primetime

Killings was on tv from like Novemeber when he showed up on heat to mania, so 5 months his whole first stint as he didn't really ever get back on there during the invasion and was released after the wwe had that big ass roster. Road Dogg also getting popped for drugs canned his tv time. 3 years is giving him credit for developmental, which Morgan also did and you ignored
