MVP Released

Wow, I really wasn't expecting that.

I'M GOIN'

Actually, this is a bit disappointing. I thought he was finally becoming tolerable again. His match with Chris Benoit at....Wrestlemania 23, was it?...that was awesome.

good

wtf?

hahahahahahaahhahahahahahahaha

Wow. I am surprised. I wonder if this is a case where he asked to get out of his contract or what.

MVP via Twitter

No need for alarm. I did not get fired . I asked for & received my release. I felt it was time to go international & freshen things up.

Vontel Ignacious Portman, aka V.I.P.

Booo. Takes the sting out of my hahahaahahahahaha abit. :(

Can we merge this with the Pink Slip Pool thread by any chance?

Fair enough. Get some work in Japan and Europe and in a few years when WWE comes knocking again, have a fresh stab. I look forward to it.

No.

I think MVP leaving deserves it's own thread.

The guy came in with a bit of promise. I didn't exactly see a serious world title run with him like some people did, but he was always solid and could have become one of the rotation main eventers. They just fucked him up with his booking.

Great news.

I haven't really been paying attention to Smackdown, so maybe this isn't as shocking as I seem to think it is. But wow, didn't see it coming.

That feud with Matt Hardy is probably one of my all-time favorite feuds, which is weird to think about.

Good riddance, he ballin'd his way out.

Ok. Going to go update the scores then.

I do too, but it was worth a shot.

Hes 37 yrs old btw, thats him finished in WWE now, cant see him coming back.

To all the people who are 'happy' about this, what for? It's not like MVP was monopolizing TV time or holding down talent. He was just there...sometimes...putting on decent matches. I'm not exactly heartbroken to see him go, but I'm not elated in the least bit. He's a decent hand.

I'm happy for him, but I'm pretty gutted to not have him. Constant bright spot on Smackdown and he was fucking over, given the chance.

Just listen to the old-school Raw when he comes out.

I wonder if he has "Christian Cage Syndrome" in which he thinks he is better/more over than he actually is and decides to go to a promotion that will put him in the main event and give him a World Title or two...only to be forgotten in the grand scheme of things and come crawling back to achieve upper midcard glory.

Or it could be he is legitimately trying to better himself on the ring while earning a bit of coin in Japan. You work so much you can't soak anything in while in WWE. Taking a break while he's in a dead end could be the best thig for him.

My reaction...

I'm shocked. Not upset or disappointed though, just shocked. He was a solid worker

Or Steele could be right...

Honestly, I wouldn't doubt it for a second, because he was shuffled so much.

If he winds up in TNA within 6 months then we'll know his "international" line is bullshit, even if he goes for a few shows.

A few more years until he reaches his prime for TNA.

Hey, he's a young go-getter in TNA until he's 80.

His international line is the "no-compete" clause.

Can't honestly see how anyone working for any promotion where they earn enough money to live on, can flick on their TV, watch TNA (that's bad enough) then say "I NEED TO GET ME IN THAT".

Said it before but, i feel everyone overrated him on here, i mean world title pushes, REALLY? Never really enjoyed watching him tbh.

Hey, say what you will, but it's true that the travel for TNA is no where near as bad as WWE. Even if he were to take a pay cut, I'd think it'd almost even out without having to pay for all those flights or hotels.
