MVP, Montel Vontavious Porter, may be famous for his WWE tenure, but he also spent impressive time periods in other wrestling promotions. Most of the fans forgot that he had a short time in TNA Wrestling in two different tenures; he did not get to win any championships, but at one point, he was planned to win the World Title.
MVP started working in the main roster of WWE in 2006, and he instantly received a strong mid card push. As soon as he made his main roster debut, he started working in a feud with Kane, which had really been a big boost for him. He remained a mid card throughout his WWE career in his first run, and he even won the WWE United States Championship once.
MVP remembers how he was almost on the TNA World Championship
He also won the WWE Tag Team Championship one time with Matt Hardy. He was released from WWE in December 2010. He remained out of WWE for a complete decade before returning to the promotion in January 2020 as a surprise entrant in the men's Royal Rumble match. In his second tenure in WWE, he mostly worked as a manager.
MVP had two short runs in TNA Wrestling
Once again, WWE released him in 2024, and he is active in AEW. What most people forgot that he was active in TNA Wrestling for a short time period after his initial WWE release. He revealed that he was supposed to win the TNA World title, but injury issues prevented him. While speaking with CHGO Sports, he revealed the following;
He is mostly famous for his time in WWE
“At the time it was me, Bobby, and Kenny King. And you know, I can do the whole angle where this is OUR title. We won this title. And it’s a really cool story because I stepped to the side, put my ego to the side for Bobby to have the title and that relationship worked exceptionally well. And you know, here we are a decade later still making money with that tandem.”
“You know, we say in our business, ‘card subject to change.’ You got to be able to adapt and overcome. And in that situation, you know, I dare say again, putting my ego to the side, Bobby winning the title and us having the business relationship that we we’ve had from that point forward worked out better in the long run.” said MVP.
