Pro Wrestler Matt Riviera Debuts on VH1 Reality Show
(New York, NY) – The multi-dimensional Matt Riviera—actor, movie producer, and pro wrestler—has now officially conquered yet another medium: television.
Riviera made his debut on VH1’s reality show, “Megan Wants a Millionaire” on Sunday, August 2. And the 26-year-old made quite a splash.
The show revolves around reality TV vixen Megan Hauserman and the 17 millionaire bachelors trying to win her heart.
Riviera and 16 other men started their journey on Sunday in Episode No. 1, all living in the same mansion and all trying to show Hauserman why they’re the best man for her.
Riviera wasted no time in establishing himself as an aggressive suitor.
Donald Farmer, a 54-year-old movie producer, was one of the first men to have his credit “turned down” by Hauserman, thus sending him home.
“I’m glad Donald is gone,” Riviera affirmed. “He’s not man enough for Megan.”
Here’s video of Matt grilling Donald on his intentions: http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?id=1616789&vid=412842.
As for his own chances with Megan, Riviera was supremely confident after Megan “approved” his credit, enabling him to continue living in the mansion.
“I gave her a kiss on the check when she approved my credit. Megan has seen nothing yet!” Matt exclaimed.
Riviera recently returned from a special “Megan Wants a Millionaire” premiere party in Las Vegas. Here’s Matt and fellow mansion member Double-0 Dave talking about the lavish affair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfqcDlZPXO8.
