The following press release was issued by TNA’s Matt Morgan’s representation:
On Tonightâs TNA iMPACT, âThe Blueprintâ Matt Morgan is scheduled to receive an award for his participation in âOperation Immortalityâ.
Matt Morgan was hand chosen for the project by NCsoft founder and CEO Richard Garriot.
This October, Richard Garriot has secured a seat on the Russian Space Shuttle and joining him on this trip is a collection of DNA, donated by a conglomerate of Humanities Greatest Achievements. The launch is scheduled for October and the âImmortality Driveâ that stores the digitized DNA will be stored on the International Space Station for safe keeping.
From the moment Matt Morgan stepped through the ring ropes early in his career, he caught the attention of nearly everyone around him. TNA General Manager Jim Cornette began referring to Matt Morgan as âThe Blueprintâ early in his career. Cornette had been in the business for well over a decade and he strongly believed that Matt Morgan was the new measuring stick to which all big men in wrestling would be compared to. From Morganâs in ring product to his ability to cut remarkable promos, it didnât take long for everyone else to see exactly why he was dubbed âThe Blueprintâ.
Earlier this year, Matt Morgan continued to break barriers as he debuted on NBCâs âAmerican Gladiatorsâ as âThe Beastâ and became the largest Gladiator in the history of the show.
Thanks to âOperation Immortalityâ, âThe Blueprintâ Matt Morgan will truly optimize the moniker as his DNA has been digitally encoded and is set to be stored in space this October.
On tonightâs edition of iMPACT, Matt Morgan will be presented an award for demonstrating the quintessential characteristics of Human Genetics and potential. The âHumanity 2.0â award ceremony will be hosted by Mike Tenay with the award being presented by NCsoft representatives Paul Lewis and David Reid.
Joining Morgan on this venture is a cavalcade of celebrities and brilliant minds alike, including an Olympic gold medalist, Rock and Roll Legends and Song writers, Authors and recently announced, Stephan Colbert of Comedy Centralâs âThe Colbert Reportâ.
