Young Matt Borne certainly had plenty going for him. Son of legend Tony Borne, Matt seemed destined to end up a Superstar. One fight with Ricky Steamboat later and that dream was deader than a dodo. Matt just didn't click with people, or at least no one in management.
He left the Northeast and went first to Texas. Did alright for himself, had some success doing the costumed bit in the Southeast, but it was his run in the 90's that would cement his page in history.
