MVP Discusses His Favorite Wrestling Company, Problems With TNA And More

Reently, former WWE and TNA star MVP sat down to speak with The Roman Show. During the discussion, he spoke about his time with NJPW. Below are highlights from the interview

On his time with NJPW:

"I remember having a meeting with president Naoki Sugabayashi in 2011 and I pitched New Japan World back then because there is a huge English speaking audience that wanted access to the product," MVP recalled. I guess it was just matter of timing."

"I am proud to say that when I quit WWE and went to Japan, a lot of people didn't know there was pro wrestling in Japan unless you were a hardcore wrestling fan."

On Impact Wrestling's Current State:

"I don't know what to say about them," MVP admitted. "It's constant mismanagement. Some of he greatest talent came from there, guys like Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles, Bobby Roode. You have all these guys that aren't there anymore. TNA was must successful under Jeff Jarrett's leadership. Under Dixie Carter, it spiraled under. I was hoping Jeff Jarrett would raise it, but I don't know, it remains to be seen.

"Our industry needs TNA. I never understood fans that hoped TNA goes out of business. We need a strong solid company for guys to continue to work that can make money and do well. That's just stupid to me. I don't like orange soda, but I don't wish Sunkist goes out of business. I just don't drink it."
