5 Most successful stars to come out of Tough Enough

#4 Matt Morgan

The DNA of TNA is surely an impressive performer

Matt Morgan competed in the second season of Tough Enough and looked like one of the favorites to win before he was forced to leave the show due to injury, however, he was later signed by WWE and competed briefly on the Smackdown brand before later joining TNA.

Morgan’s WWE run was underwhelming and he was used mainly as ‘muscle’ for other superstars such as Carlito and as part of Team Lesnar during the 2003 Survivor Series. He did have a short-lived singles run in WWE in which his gimmick was an angry big man with a stutter but, astonishingly, this failed to make him a star.

It was during his time with TNA where Morgan was granted more freedom to showcase his talents and managed to cement himself a place on the roster with his ‘Blueprint’ gimmick. He would go on to have two Tag Team championship reigns in TNA and enjoyed a number of high-profile feuds during his 6-year stint with the company.
