Montel Vontavious Porter isnt here for seeing Omos take suplexes like hes just another guy on the roster.
The AEW star broke it down in blunt fashion during a new clip posted to his YouTube channel, sharing why hes coached Omos to stand his ground when smaller opponents try to pull off flashy moves that dont make sense for a 7-foot-4, 400-pound monster.
Drawing from years of experience with WWE legends like The Undertaker, Kane, and Big Show, MVP explained that part of his job was to teach Omos the art of giant psychology. And that starts with knowing when to say noeven to veterans.
The issue, according to MVP, is that the newer generation of wrestlersvets includeddont always grasp in-ring storytelling the way old-school performers did.
When it comes to moves like suplexes or powerbombs, MVP made it clear Omos needs to reject them outrightno matter whos across the ring.
This philosophy extends beyond Omos. MVP admitted he had to step in for Bobby Lashley, too, because Lashley was too generous with opponents trying to execute unrealistic offense.
He even recalled a cringeworthy moment from a $10,000 Challenge segment, where a smaller opponent tried to casually slap away Omos gripsomething MVP wasnt letting fly.
MVP said the psychology behind David vs. Goliath storytelling is crucial, and letting smaller wrestlers overpower a giant from the start kills the drama.
For MVP, its not about restricting the matchits about making fans care. Without proper storytelling, the match turns into a mindless exhibition. And thats not what builds stars.
Wrestling fans know that details matter. MVPs stance on keeping Omos protected as a true giant might not sit well with everyone, but his old-school mentality is rooted in making moments count and preserving mystique.
