Do You Want to see MVP come to TNA?

[shattered dreams]

That is a good point jccool. The way TNA brings more of the real life elements into their programming might help TNA. WWE is going to shy away from his past and is unlikely to make it a focal point of his character. Yet, TNA probably wouldn't be opposed to something edgy like that. It would absolutely help if he was ever to make it as a face (something I have doubts about regardless). It might be amusing to see TNA have Matt Hardy come in only to be challenged by MVP a little later.

NO! MVP is not that good and TNA really, really, REALLY sucks! MVP would be better off going to Japan, Mexico, Or Puerto Rico where he can still have a decent career. I would not wish anyone to go to TNA because it is such a shit-hole right now. MVP will not save TNA and he would only hurt himself. He has other options available rather than becoming a complete joke of himself. Maybe he can try acting. He might be able to land a few pigeon-holed roles. TNA is an utter embarrassment. I feel like I lose a considerable amount of brain cells watching that crap.

NO MVP should not go to that shit hole organization. He should either retire or take his craft overseas.

 

[Tully]

I don't want to see TNA sign MVP. MVP's boring on the mic and boring in the ring. His finisher is stupid, as is his entire gimmick for that matter.

Guy's done nothing for so long in the WWE, I'd forgotten about him actually.

I've been reading these threads for quite some time and it amazes me the criticism that comes down the pike. In particular I have to take issue with those of you who deem it necessary to bash MVP. Here's a guy who overcame a troubled past. All he wants is an opportunity at big time. I've read where several of you have bashed his gimmick and/or finisher. Any wrestling fan with an iota of common sense knows most all wrestlers have their gimmicks thrown on them. So why bash his gimmick, it was given to him. Why bash his desire to be great, we all know there are several wrestlers who are far from great, but were deemed to be the next big thing anyway, ie John Cena. I saw several of you go the stereotype route too, c'mon people I thought we were beyond the good ole' days, but obviously not. Not since Booker T have any black wrestlers been taken seriously, I speak the truth, it's right there in plain sight. No way anyone can tell me there aren't any competent black wrestlers out there worth pushing to the top. Yeah MVP is not the younngest anymore, but for the longest HHH wasn't amongst the youngest either, yet he remained at the top, I love HHH, but facts are facts, we all know why he remained at the top, don't we?
I love to see the young guys get opportunities just as much as anyone else, but damn, why keep guys down, why give them BS gimmicks, ie R-Truth, I am embarrassed when I see him get out there and do the crap he does. Not since the days of Ron Simmons and my guy Butch Reed have any black wrestlers been taken seriously in the world title category. Guys work their asses off day and night and can't get that push that "certain" people get for whatever reason. Makes me sick to my stomach. I know I'll get bashed for this rant but who cares, if you guys can rant so can I...

MVP Is definitely too much of a cartoony superheroesque character and I'm not too sure he would fit in with the TNA cast, although if they changed his look and made him into more of, I don't know maybe a street basketball type character I could see him having a good run with TNA, at least for a little while

 

[Sting's Bat]

As I said in his release thread there simply isnt a place for him in TNA. Also they have a full locker room and are currently cutting back, adding another WWE guy wont do them anything for them and frankly MVP aint that much of a draw.

 

[flipmood]

well if he does go tna, big chance that he will have a fued with kurt and then afterwards be put in a mid card division just like wolfey... Or they have him team up with pope and have some sort of a 'pimp' tag team..... oh the ho train be comin to tna lol.

 

[MisterRob]

I hope you are being sarcastic here. I agree with what you said about Jarrett, Team 3D, Rhino, RVD, and Rob Terry, but MVP is better on the mic than 80 % of TNA's roster? He has presence and charisma? Since when did yelling "ballin" make someone charismatic? He is basically a catchphrase and a mediocre wrestler. Nothing more and nothing less. I really think he would get lost in the shuffle and fans wouldn't care about him.

I mean if the TNA fans are booing a WWE favorite like Bobby Lashley out of the building, would MVP really get any response? Especially since he gets no reaction when he comes out for matches on Smackdown. I would put a Christy Hemme promo above an MVP promo, which is saying something.

TNA doesn't need to hire every wrestler that WWE releases. TNA has a budget that won't sign any wrestler unless they are huge names. I do agree that TNA needs to trim the fat and get rid of a lot of people that are wasting there. I just don't think MVP will make any impact on TNA or any other recently released WWE mid card wrestlers.

Well, sorry but you're wrong. I'm not talking about the MVP of recent WWE who was being held back, the WWE was well known about doing nothing with because he didn't fit into the PG era, and who was turned into a one catch phrase mid-card jobber. I'm talking about the MVP of years ago who came into the WWE and who was United States Champion several times for long durations. He was quite good on the mic when he was given time during that period, and was given feuds and a story. He was one of the most over guys on Smackdown as a heel and should've been pushed towards the World title then. He's still, even now, hugely over with the crowd so I think you're negativity towards him is very biased and not very true. You devalue MVP's charisma and his ability on the mic, but the facts are he's as good if not BETTER then Matt Morgan, RVD, the Pope, AJ Styles, Kazarian, James Storm, Jay Lethal, Abyss... and that's a very big chunk of the roster and guys either being pushed to the main event or former World champions in TNA. That proves my point right there. And MVP's certainly over and would be in TNA more then a lot of those guys, too.

Bobby Lashley was booed by TNA fans because he sucks. He was never over in the WWE, even though they shoved him down everyone's throat. Why would he be over in TNA for lacking ability, clearly lacking charisma, and being horrible on the mic. None of those things are anyway similar to MVP was and is over with fans, who does have character and ability in wrestling.

I totally agree with you that TNA doesn't and they shouldn't hire every WWE wrestler that's released. What they should do is hire those who have potential to help their product into the future, and who could become stars for the future. Not past their prime stars who already had their time, but guys who never got used to their full potential by the WWE and still have something to give. MVP is no different then Anderson in that regard, and both of them could b assets to TNA's future if TNA had sense and would actually start focusing on building younger stars and building for the FUTURE of their company, not just the present. Not just quick fixes for NOW.

And a great deal of TNA's roster could be cut to be replaced by MVP, because there's a lot on TNA's roster who either shouldn't be there or bring nothing lasting to the table. MVP would, simple as that.

MVP certainly cuts a better promo then the CURRENT TNA Heavyweight champion. And he's already been in jail, so they might have that in common, too!

Depending where the Fortune/Immortal thing is in 90 days I would like to see him come in, but be part of a stable. A modern day nation of Domination perhaps.

The Pope
MVP
Jay Lethal
Orlando Jordan ( No Gimmick )


You can call them "The Congregation" and feud with Fortune. I think he is a good fit as long as you get rid of some of the BS on the roster. He clearly would be better than Rob Terry and few others. He is also from Florida so that is another reason I could see TNA doing it.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

You mean come back to TNA? No, I don't.

Guy just isn't that good that it'd be worth signing him to bring into the company and feature him over roster members TNA already have who could be put into a similar situation with a push from within the company already.

This is a very true statement. MVP is the Billy Gunn of this generation. Sure MVP is good in the ring, can work the mic fairly well and is over with the crowd but there is someone better than him. MVP will suffer in TNA just as much as he suffered in WWE and will probably hold a position similar to Jethro Holiday (Trevor Murdoch) which will be maybe one big feud but then just fade into obscuritity.

I called mvps release months upon months back. WWE buried him with the losing streak angle and then turning him face was the final nail in the coffin. MVP simply couldnt and wasnt gonna get over. WWE finally saw that and hes gone. Please god dont bring this guy to TNA. We dont need him and neither does wrestling. I wish the guy luck in what he decides to do, hopefully outside of the biz.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I dont think TNA need him, but I fully expect him to turn up in the impact zone when his 90 day no-compete clause is up. The roster is overcrowded as it is, and TNA is not giving enough time to wrestlers who have actual potential and could be the foundation of the company for years to come. They simply do not need any other average talent.

If he does sign with TNA he needs to debut as a heel, simple as. The face MVP has never and will never get over.

Personally I hope we dont see him back on TV, he is ok to have on the WWE roster as a mid-card talent but TNA have no space for him right now

One thing MVP didn't have was Jeff Hardy's lawyers, so I doubt we will see Hardy serve any time or as much time as MVP. You never know though, Hardy might be sentenced this Wednesday if he doesn't postpone the court date again. I liked MVP as the heel character he portrayed when he was a US Champion years back. MVP could be an assert to TNA, but unless your last name is Hardy or Hogan, I think MVP will be in the same boat as the majority of TNA wrestlers there.

 

[MMSoldier]

it definitly would be intresting if he did, but he wont. He would do more good if he went to japan and acually trained. Then he could come back to the states for something.
