Snitsky's back acne Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Seen on numerous sites that MVP has signed to wrestle for New Japan starting February. Apparently he is expected to be there for a year. Â Quite an achievement for MVP to get a visa considered his criminal conviction and apparently there has been a lot of red tape and paperwork to bypass to get this signing.

Paid Members Jaffa Posted January 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 31, 2011 Good on him if he's got the visa. He served 9 years didn't he? Â Considering Booker T couldn't get a visa, NJPW must have pulled some major strings. Â I'm a massive mark for MVP. WWE blew it with him. Here's hoping he enjoys a bit of success over there.

Richie Freebird Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Best of luck to the lad. He always looked fairly competent as a wrestler, lets hop he continues to improve in Japan. What kind of gear do you think he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Young Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 MVP is a massive Puro-mark. Now he gets to live his dream I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerfectPlex Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Good on him if he's got the visa. He served 9 years didn't he? Considering Booker T couldn't get a visa, NJPW must have pulled some major strings.  I'm a massive mark for MVP. WWE blew it with him. Here's hoping he enjoys a bit of success over there. 9 years for what? I didn't know he had done time. I don't think NJPW have any power with regards to getting someone into the country. Japan have some of the strictest border control services in the world. It will be interesting to see if he relies on his old trademark moves or if he takes this opportunity to become a better wrestler or just live on his 'e' glory.

Â Seeing as his "Drive By" (or whatever they called his step-up kick) was based on Chono's Shining Black, I'd say he's more than open to improvement.

1SinN6 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think WWE couldnt get the rights to a name like MVP seeing as it was already a word before wwe came up with it. He can't call himself Montel Vontavious Porter in japan i think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
