Title: Matt Morgan newest American Gladiator
Post by: littleguns on March 06, 2008, 02:15:54 PM
TNAwrestling.com has learned that TNA superstar Matt Morgan has been offered a contract by NBC to become the newest Gladiator on the hit show "American Gladiators".

Morgan will continue to be a member of the TNA Wrestling roster while competing on American Gladiators.

"To say I'm excited is a huge understatement," Morgan told TNAwrestling.com by phone. "Wrestling is in my blood and TNA will always be my home - and the chance to appear on both TNA and American Gladiators is a major personal accomplishment."

Morgan will be traveling to Los Angeles in the coming days to take part in an American Gladiator "boot camp" that all new Gladiators must go through.

It's expected that Morgan will make his American Gladiators debut in the second season of the hit show

He goes 6'10 300+ lbs

I remember that.  Nathan Jones was there around that time too.  Two massive fuckers.  I remember Big Show, Lesnar, Morgan and Jones all on a four man tag team.

Pretty sure it was armed robbery.  I don't think he would be allowed to travel all over the world with wwe if he was a murderer.

he was sentenced to 16 years...served 8

here's a little clip from an interview......this is after he kicked off a cell door!!!

Jones: I broke out of solitary confinement, and they had to try to subdue me. The first time, they used normal gas on me; it just made me more pissed. (Laughs) It made me angrier. It made my eyes burn; it made my throat burn. I said, "This doesn't make me feel like submitting to them at all. I want to hurt them now." So then they started using a different sort of gas -- gas designed to actually knock you unconscious. Because, you know, they didn't want to get hurt. Prison officers were getting hurt trying to subdue me. They were all so scared of me -- a lot of them were sitting outside going, "You go in! I'm not going in first!" Because they knew the first guy that came in was going to get his head taken off.

haha.  The problem with people like that is they are their own worst enemy.  Apparently, violence also helped him end up in jail...haha, good story though.
