Biggest waste of talent that I can remember. Dude should have had at least one world title reign by now.

Re: It's almost future endeavor time!

It was sad to see what happened to him after his good run on Smackdown as a heel. Turning him was part of the problem, but also I think his health and subsequent weight gain hurt his in-ring work.

The cover story in the Pittsburgh City Paper this week about the WWE's Wellness Program -- the people who developed it are from Pittsburgh -- with lots of quotes from wrestlers. MVP stated it probably saved his life because the testing discovered a heart ailment that can be deadly when combined with intense physical exertion. I know he was never in the best shape, but it's rather obvious he's carrying too much now, and one can assume his heart condition limits the amount/type of training he can do.

While I think he was competent in the ring in the past, his ability to draw heat and play the cocky heel is what made him. Now as a face that's overweight and lacking direction, his departure doesn't disappoint me too much. Although I was always waiting for him to cut an awesome heel turn promo where he went back to his arrogant roots after acccomplishing nothing doing things "the right way"...

That's a great point about MVP. Although, I thought he had a surgical procedure that helped his heart condition?

The face turn was a bad idea. He got no reaction, except for 'ballin' which is a poor man's People Elbow/Five Knuckle Shuffle move. He was a natural heel and like you QB, I kept waiting for him to turn back but it never happened.

I think it was addressed via surgery, but I'm assuming it must be part of the reason why he's put on weight. But, I've also heard the WWE brass was never happy with his conditioning and that was the reason for his "power ranger" attire. So maybe I'm jumping to conclusions...

Re: It's almost future endeavor time!

I believe I read somewhere that they wanted to turn MVP heel and do something with his prison incarceration, but due to the PG guidelines creative had to abide to, their hands were tied.

It's weird b/c in the 1980's when Vince Jr. first took over, yes there were guys that were crazy ripped and it was a change in the culture from earlier years, but at the same time there were guys on the roster that weren't huge (Jake Roberts) or that were fat (Adonis, Earthquake) that got over.

The bodybuilder physique does nothing for a lot of people and I think it's vastly overrated when it comes to pro wrestling. Give me a guy that can put on an entertaining match over a 'roided up (allegedly) guy that can only manage to work 5-8 minutes before he blows up.

I loved MVP... As a heel

Re: It's almost future endeavor time!

It kinda sucks they got rid of MVP. It seemed like they were giving him a bit of a push when he had that brief feud with Ziggler. I pretty much liked MVP in his feud with Matt Hardy back in 2007.

Let's face it, he wasn't ever going to do anything in the company anyway.

I know the Internet loves the guy, but I never saw why.

Re: It's almost future endeavor time!

Back to TNA maybe. They have stated they wanna beefup their X division.

He was entertaining in the ring, but nothing special in my opinion. Kind of bland overall.

Cold blooded, E. Releasing someone on the 23rd, lol.

Re: It's almost future endeavor time!

Wow @ Kaval. I think his next move might be back to Japan or ROH honestly.
