Luther Reigns
Matthew R. "Matt" Wiese (born September 22, 1971) is an American actor and former professional wrestler. He is best known for his tenure in WWE, where he performed on its SmackDown brand under the ring name Luther Reigns.
Early life
Wiese was born in Danville, Illinois before moving with his family and being raised in Saginaw, Michigan. At age 16, he lived with his mom in the suburbs. A friend recommended that he try out for the Power Plant, World Championship Wrestling's professional wrestling school.
Professional wrestling career
World Championship Wrestling (1997–1998)
Upon completing his training in the Power Plant, Wiese started his wrestling career as an enhancement talent in World Championship Wrestling in 1997 using the ring name Horshu. To complement the name, his hair was shaved into a horseshoe pattern and he would try to work the word "shu" into his promos, which most notably spawned his catchphrase "There's no business like 'shu' business, baby!". He was also among six wrestlers who "auditioned" for an anti-New World Order faction called Piper's Family on the March 3, 1997 episode of Monday Nitro, spearheaded by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. After being tested in 30-second impromptu match with Piper, Wiese was quickly defeated via sleeper hold after attempting to use dirty tactics to defeat Piper. The idea of this faction was quietly dropped by WCW.

Ain't That the Truth
by: Matt MaysTakin' it easy with a friend of mine
Down by the diamond talkin' 'bout the shifty ways of time
Says "You can get free, unless you make your move."
And I said "Ain't that the truth."
So I cut a million skylines, scars and borderlines, just tryin' to find the
Then it put somewhere around Sante Fe
When some late night can’t reach the preacher told me son
Listen to me, the devil can’t get you cause he ain’t got proof
And I said "Ain't that the truth."
So take me down that open road, light on my fire,
Well sing me that song from yesteryear
When we were all right
Cause it's deep in the history
Shoulder to shoulder we will stand over the grave
Watchin' the (notsure) lower him on down
Years ago man, he should have called his truce
He said "Ain't that the truth."
So take me down that open road, light up a fire High
Sing me that song from yesteryear
When we were all right
Cause it's deep in the history
Taking it easy with a friend of mine
Down at the dimond talkin' 'bout the shifty ways of time
You can't get free, unless you make your move...never get free
And he said "Ain't that the truth:"
So take me down that open road, light up a fire High
Sing me that song from yesteryear
Back when we were all right
Cause it's deep in the history
And he said "Ain't that the truth:"
And I said "Ain't that the truth."
And I said "Ain't that the truth."
