• Vince McMahon Wanted Ruthless Aggression Era Veteran To Start Using The F5 After Brock Lesnar Left WWE In 2004
7-Foot-Tall Ruthless Aggression Era Veteran Matt Morgan wrestled for WWE in 2003, 2004 & 2005, before he made a name for himself in Dixie Carter’s Total Nonstop Action! (TNA) between 2007 and 2013.
During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Morgan revealed that when ‘The Next Big Thing’ Brock Lesnar left WWE on bad terms after WrestleMania XX, Vince McMahon wanted Matt to start using Brock’s iconic finisher, the F5.
Here’s what The Blueprint had to say:
“So funny story. I always felt like Vince McMahon called me into his office to tell me that was going to be my new finisher.
And I was right, I always felt it was kind of like a shot to Brock at this point.
Now I get called back up to SmackDown, black dyed hair, stuttering Matt Morgan, right, with the black trunks. And anyways, [Vince] called me into his office and said that he wants me to use the F5 as a finish and could I do it? And I said ‘sure, no problem’.
But in the back of my head, I kind of thought that was a shot at Brock because he had just, you know, not too long ago quit their company to go and try out for the NFL.
And I kind of thought that was maybe a dig at him because I was close with Brock at the time.”
