MVP postete vor wenigen Minuten via Twitter folgende kryptische Nachricht:
Zitat"A decision has been made. It's final. All systems go!"
Wie in der gestrigen IMPACT Wrestling Episode aus Glasgow, Schottland, zu sehen war, wurde der frühere WWE Superstar Montel Vontavious Porter aka MVP am Ende der Show als neuer TNA Investor enthüllt, der IMPACT Wrestling für immer verändern möchte.
Montel Vontavious Porter wird fortan unter dem Namen "MVP" bei TNA Wrestling auftreten, da der Name "Montel Vontavious Porter" eine WWE Kreation ist und er diesen bei TNA Wrestling daher nicht nutzen darf.
Via Twitter gab MVP mittlerweile bekannt, dass er vorerst für TNA Wrestling via "Handshake Deal" arbeitet und bislang noch keinen Vertrag unterzeichnet hat.

Wie Dave Meltzer in der aktuellen Ausgabe vom Wrestling Observer Newsletter berichtet, hat MVP bislang noch keinen Vertrag bei TNA Wrestling unterzeichnet, sondern sich lediglich mündlich mit der Company auf eine Zusammenarbeit geeinigt.
Es wird erwartet, dass MVP in Kürze den Vertrag bei TNA Wrestling unterzeichnen wird, da eine mündliche Vereinbarung auch gewisse Risiken mitbringt und der entsprechende Worker jederzeit problemlos bei einer anderen Wrestlingpromotion wie z.B. der WWE oder Ring Of Honor auftauchen könnte.

Zitat- MVP was asked on Twitter why he went to TNA instead of returning to WWE. He replied, "Time for change."
ZitatAlles anzeigen- MVP recently spoke with The American magazine in the UK. Here are some highlights:
Joining TNA and his contract status:
"It was spectacular, it was exasperating to have been away for so long and to come back and receive the reception that I did was humbling. The fans remembered me and they were glad to have me back. The whole tour was awesome, after Glasgow we did Manchester and London and it reminded me of why I love it so much. The confirmation didn't come until less than two weeks before I came over, I still don't have a signed contract, our lawyers are working out the last little bit of the deal so I'm here on a handshake. But I expressed to the company, when I did make my debut I wanted to do it on the UK tour."
Who he wants to work with:
"I made the stipulation very clear, if I were to come to TNA I would absolutely have to work with Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode at some point. Those are the guys that are on my list. Fortunately I had my first match with Bobby Roode the other night at Wembley and we had probably about nine minutes, so it was a chance to test the water, I definitely like his style, I like his work. Kurt Angle is a legitimate legend and Joe and I have been friends for a long time, he is a guy I've wanted to face for years going back to the Indys. Those are just a few of the guys I'm looking forward to working with, one of the things that attracted me to TNA is the overall roster – they have top tier talent."
His theme song and music:
"Right before I left WWE I composed my own theme song and it made it to the air a few times before I left. With TNA it was definitely something we discussed and I expressed that if I come over I do want to compose my own theme music. I had seen what they had done with Mickie James and Jeff Hardy musically and that is an aspect of my creativity that I would like to explore some more. They were completely supportive and it is something we will delve into at some point. My new theme song in TNA is called 'Return of the Ronin' and for those that don't know, a Ronin is a Japanese word for masterless samurai and in the wrestling industry that is how I see myself. I serve no master, that is why I have been able to go from WWE to NJPW and TNA."
ZitatAlles anzeigen- MVP recently appeared on The V2 Wrestling Podcast. Here are some highlights:
His goals in TNA:
"WWE is a spectacular company, and their market saturation and visibility is monstrous, but the most prosperous time during the history of wrestling was during the Monday Night Wars when WWF was going head-to-head with WCW. You had 12 million people a week tuning in to watch wrestling, and the fans benefited as well as the wrestlers. TNA is a smaller company and doesn't have the outreach and audience that WWE does, but I'd like to try, along with some of the other guys, to move the needle a little bit, and try to create something where fans can go 'Hey, this is really cool, there's something going on over here that we can watch as well,' because I firmly believe that there's room for two big dogs in the yard."
The recent departures of Sting and Hulk Hogan:
"While it's sad to see them go, it's also tremendously exciting to see that void filled by new stars who are stepping up and working hard to try to become legends in their own right."
Chris Benoit:
"When I got signed, we traveled together, we trained together, and he was hugely responsible for my success. Of course, you can’t condone what he did, but I tell people all the time, there’s an issue with mental illness. There’s a stigma attached to it. If someone has cancer, we feel sorry for them, but if somebody has a mental breakdown, we don’t feel the same way. All those negative connotations make people sometimes not want to get help if there’s something going wrong. What Chris did was horrible, it was tragic, but I knew him personally, and I knew that he loved his wife and child, and I had been to that home and I had interacted with them personally."
ZitatMVP says he and others are working to make TNA a great company. He tweeted on Sunday:
"Thanks for the positive comments. I assure you that myself & a group of dedicated professionals are working to make @IMPACTWRESTLING great!"
