The Blueprint of professional wrestling joins us the week; or as Brian likes to call him Mayor Matt Morgan join us this week.  Matt was a two sport star at school then danced his way to Monmouth where he played basketball in the NCAA Tournament in 1996.  Soon after that he had tryouts for the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Reports.  However, the one thing he wanted to do was wrestle in WWE.  He worked at a job that was very near the WWE headquarters in Connecticut so he could “bump into” Vince McMahon.  Luckily he did just that and landed on Tough Enough 2.  As they say the rest is history and he soon found himself in TNA and had it all. Finally , today Matt is the mayor of Longwood, Florida and is enjoying it there with his family and community.    Refin It Up Social Media Twitter and IG @refinitup ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/refinitup⁠⁠ Brian Hebner Social Media Twitter/IG @babyhebner Jimmy Korderas Social Media Twitter: @jimmykorderas IG: @realjimmykorderas Artwork by JD Hoop @JDHoop702 Music by AJ McKay ⁠⁠⁠⁠ajmckaycreative.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ TRY BLUECHEW FREE WHEN YOU USE OUR PROMO CODE REFIN AT CHECKOUT--JUST PAY $5 SHIPPING.
