Matt Morgan worked out at WWE Headquarters before he got signed in order to get noticed, and he recently recalled meeting Vince McMahon there. Morgan was a guest on Stories with Bradshaw & Brisco and told the story of how he was invited by a writer to train at the WWE HQ gym in hopes of being noticed. You can check out the highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:
On getting invited to train at WWE Headquarters by a writer: “Every week for six months straight, every Friday night I went [to the gym at WWE Headquarters] after work. I even got a job at Enterprise rent-a-car because it was one block away from WWE. So long story short, every Friday night I worked out in that gym until six months later I’m walking into the men’s room of that gym as he’s walking out and –same way I met my wife ironically– he smacked right into my chest as I was walking in.”
On getting called up to WWE from OVW: “WWE Magazine did this article on the next line of new athletes at the time [and I was in it]. Long story short, got called up, they told me it was me and Nathan Jones teaming together.”
