Montel Vontavious Porter isnt sugarcoating the truth about why some wrestlers never get to the top.
During a conversation on the Marking Out podcast, MVP explained why technical skill alone wont get you anywhere in the wrestling businessand named names to prove it. Breaking down the industry from a business-first perspective, MVP said a lot of fans and even talent have the wrong idea about how success works.
He went even harder on the myth that great in-ring work should automatically earn someone a top spot.
To drive it home, MVP used two of the biggest names in wrestling historynot to praise their in-ring skills, but to spotlight how charisma can carry a career.
The conversation cut deep into the reality many wrestlers face: no matter how clean your moves are, if you dont connect with the crowd in a way that makes them spend money, promoters wont see you as a main-event player.
Whether you agree or not, MVP laid it out without filters. Charisma beats mat work, merch sales matter more than five-star matches, and in wrestlingbeing good just isnt good enough.
Do you think MVP is right about what really earns a push in wrestling? Or should pure talent matter more than drawing power? Sound off in the comments and let us know where you stand.
