MVP has been able to extend his career in professional wrestling way longer than he ever expected.
All Elite Wrestling‘s MVP recently spoke with Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times. While reflecting on the injury he suffered in WWE, Porter realized shifting into a speaking/managerial role has helped extend his career.
“I slipped into just a vocal role because I wasn’t wrestling anymore,” MVP said. “But I cherish it because this has given me a new chapter in my career. My ability to talk, to cut a promo, to be an effective communicator, has given me this longevity.
“I tell young talent that it’s not just about wrestling. You have to have character, charisma, and speaking ability if you want to have longevity because your body’s going to break down eventually. You have a limited window for your physical performance as a wrestler. I took time to study other aspects of the business and to polish my ability to speak, and that’s given me a career that’s over 20 years now.”
