Matthew "Matt" Morgan (born September 10, 1976) is an American retired professional wrestler. As a college basketball player, Morgan competed in the 1996 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament and has appeared in American Gladiators under the pseudonym Beast. Morgan is best known for his professional wrestling career in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) where he is a former two-time TNA World Tag Team Champion.
After a successful high school basketball career at Fairfield High School in Connecticut, Morgan played Division I college basketball for Monmouth University at center position. During Morgan's freshman year at the university, the Monmouth Hawks defeated Rider University to become the Northeast Conference champions. By winning the conference tournament, Monmouth received an automatic bid to the 1996 NCAA tournament.
Of his trip to the tournament, Morgan said, "it was fun to be able to say that you actually played in the NCAA tournament and actually got some minutes. I didn’t score, but at least I got in as a freshman, which was cool." Monmouth lost to Marquette University in the first round of the tournament by a final score of 68–44.
Following a coaching change at Monmouth, Morgan transferred to Chaminade University in Hawaii, where he finished his college basketball career and graduated magna cum laude in public speaking. While at Chaminade, Morgan played in the Maui Invitational against the number one ranked Duke Blue Devils.
