このコンテンツについて
Hosted by longtime friends Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) and Houston-based rapper & songwriter Dwayne Swayze, Marking Out takes you inside the world of professional wrestling like never before. In this episode, MVP breaks down locker room heat—what it is, how to avoid it, and why disrespect can make life on the road miserable. He shares stories of The Miz being kicked out of the locker room by Chris Benoit, Muhammad Hassan’s infamous clash with Eddie Guerrero, and Boogeyman’s unforgettable worm incident.
MVP also recaps WrestleMania week in Las Vegas, from Slamfest and WrestleCon to a midnight Fourth Rope Wrestling show that kept fans going until 4:30 AM. He reflects on the energy of the fans and the culture of Mania week beyond WWE’s main event.
The conversation shifts to calling matches on the fly, with MVP explaining the importance of trust in the ring. He shares a tense moment with Teddy Hart, where safety took priority over risky showmanship, and explains why he always puts professionalism first—especially when working with someone new.
MVP also tackles the mythical "push," revealing how management, not the crowd, often picks who gets the spotlight. He discusses how Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston forced WWE’s hand by getting over with the fans and gives indie wrestlers a reality check on understanding their value—emphasizing that if you’re not drawing crowds or selling merch, the business will pass you by.
Throughout the episode, MVP contrasts the old-school locker room culture with today’s more corporate environment, all while highlighting the timeless art of storytelling in the ring.
All with raw, unfiltered insight from one of the most respected veterans in the business.
