MVP knows a thing or two about cutting promos that land with impactand according to him, sometimes doing it backstage, away from the live crowd, delivers a stronger punch than standing in the middle of the ring.
Speaking on the Marking Out podcast, MVP broke down the key differences between live in-ring promos and pre-taped backstage segments, admitting that while live promos come with an unbeatable energy, pretapes give talent way more control over the delivery.
That live crowd interaction can be magicbut it can also be a distraction. MVP pointed out that fan chants, like the dreaded what interruptions, can throw off newer talent.
MVP emphasized that pre-taped promos let talent skip the live chaos entirely, delivering their message clearly and cleanlywithout fan interruptions or the risk of messing up in front of thousands.
He also revealed how backstage promos benefit quieter performers like Bobby Lashley, whose subtle, sinister delivery can sometimes get lost in the noise of a live arena.
MVP explained that even during pretapes, the goal is to nail it in one takebut the luxury of retakes gives room for fine-tuning the smallest details.
For MVP, theres no denying the electricity of a live promobut when it comes to precision, backstage promos can steal the show without anyone realizing the difference.
