Luther Reigns

Matthew Robert Wiese[3] (born September 22, 1971) is an American retired professional wrestler and actor.

[4] Upon completing his training in the Power Plant, Wiese started his wrestling career as an enhancement talent in WCW in May 1997 using the ring name Horshu.

[5] After his stint in WCW, Wiese made his way to Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) for more training.

After an interview with Vince McMahon, he received a developmental contract from World Wrestling Entertainment in June 2003.

After a few non-televised matches before Raw in 2003 and 2004, Wiese was promoted to World Wrestling Entertainment's main roster in April 2004 under the name Luther Reigns, where he became the "assistant" to then-SmackDown!

From September 2004 until mid-February 2005, Reigns and Jindrak helped Angle win most of his matches as well as dealing with his enemies.

Reigns became upset at Jindrak for tapping out in a "Double Jeopardy" handicap match against the Undertaker on the February 24 edition of SmackDown!

The following week on the March 3 edition of SmackDown!, Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio defeated Jindrak and Reigns to retain the Tag Team Championship.

Reigns then wrestled mainly on Velocity, winning the majority of his matches until he requested his release from the company, which was fulfilled on May 11, 2005.

[4] Following his departure from WWE, Wiese attempted to become a real estate salesman,[9] but his plans ultimately fell through.

[1] Later on in the night, Horshu teamed with Heidenreich in a losing effort to Norton and Aguilera in what turned out to be Wiese's final match.

[1] In early 2006, Wiese began working as a bodyguard, including for the AVN pornography convention in Las Vegas.
