Matt Morgan: Austin Aries is a Main Event Talent

– Matt Morgan recently spoke with wrestlinginc.com, where he shared his thoughts on Austin Aries. Here are the highlights…

Does He Feel Aries is Arrogant?: “He’s a very short wrestler, okay, who fights for everything he’s ever gotten. I never saw him as arrogant. I never saw him as this heat seeker that people think he is,” Morgan explained. “I just saw a guy that has been dicked around an awful lot. And when you’re not seven-feet tall, you’re not a big guy, you know, unfortunately you do got to fight for everything you get. Especially when you’re that talented.”

On Aries Being Stuck in The Cruiserweight Division: “We said from day one that that dude should have not be in that damn division,” said Morgan. “Everyone said that. The fans were saying that, you know, in these arenas. When they’re chanting his name it’s not like we like him in the frequent cruiserweight division WWE. It’s we want to see him in the main show against other talents. That’s why they’re chanting his name. They’re not excited to see him in the purple ropes. They’re not excited to see him do stupid grab-ass skits with Jack Gallagher. They want to see him in serious situations with real talent. And that’s their loss.”

On Aries’ Talent: “He was a jack of all trades, he could do everything. “I feel he’s a main event talent in every sense of the word,” Morgan continued. “He can hang with anybody on the mic and he can surpass most in the ring. So it’s their loss, it really is. And what I had heard — I’m not going to say it’s from him — but what I had heard was he did everything he could to get his release.”

On WWE Ruining a Main Event Talent: “They stifled yet another star studded talent and it’s a damn shame,” Morgan said. “In a day and age where they’re begging for young guys to step up, you had one right there. You had a bonafide main eventer.”
