MVP is urging younger wrestlers to be smarter about how and when they put their bodies on the line especially when performing in front of tiny crowds.
On Episode 15 of Backstage Truths, Road Survival & the Art of Audience Reaction, the AEW veteran didnt mince words as he broke down why going all out on small shows isnt just unnecessary its reckless. According to MVP, young talent chasing viral moments at the expense of their health are playing a dangerous game with limited payoff.
He explained that wrestlers need to match the product to the audience and stop trying to force WrestleMania moments into bingo halls.
The message was simple: wrestlers need to stop treating every show like its a PPV main event. Smart pacing, injury prevention, and understanding crowd dynamics are just as important as show-stealing moves maybe more.
Do you think indie wrestlers are pushing too hard for social media clips at the cost of their careers? Should promotions help set limits on what happens in front of smaller crowds? Sound off in the comments.
