[AmericanNohbuddy]

Is MVP the first black champion in NJPW?

[DirkMantooth]

@AmericanNohbuddy Bob Sapp won the IWGP heavyweight title.

[Slame333]

Why wouldn't he just go back to TNA or ROH if he wanted tp leave WWE?

[DirkMantooth]

@Slame333 Because he's been a big fan of Japanese wrestling for a long time. I guess since he wanted a change, he might as well have made it a big one.

[dreamslayer]

@Slame333 because his dream was Japan and NJPW is big money as well. TNA/ROH can't compare.

MVP is doing is thing in japan because lets face it the wwe would never gave him the wwe or world title between the both of them there only been 4 african american that held those titles.. and three of spanish decent lets face it the wwe n tna do'nt belive a man of minority can carry the company.. you hate to say it.. . has much as i love wrestling when comes to race there are lacking at the top...

[jstephenj]

@dreamslayer I also think TNA would taint him too, in a way that he could never recover if he decided to return to WWE. Working Japan or Mexico at least gives him an air of prestige if he decided to return.

@jammastereric cuz they are something called CIVILIZED (look it up) you don't have to jump up and down like a wild monkey to show that you enjoy something. Plus Japanese wrestling fans have tons of knowledge and respect for pro wrestling that goes far beyond most of you narrow minded American wrestling fans and before you say anything yes I'm an American so i see how you guys act at wrestling shows.

[jammastereric]

The audience is so damn quiet. What do these guys have to do to get them excited? Shoot someone in the nuts or something?

[Bzaafied]

@fofferk Because WWE short changes people they don't like and smarks/e-badasses keep making excuses for their f*** ups.

[ManoloElDelBombo1990]

I can understoud his descision I mean he is so talented and in WWE he was made but after the rivalry with Matt Hardy the WWE turned on him and make him a living joke, he lost most of his matches he never get a chance for a title so he quits, the reason why he goes to Japan was first he loves the Wrestling there and he said in an Interview that he thinks in th U.S. there are no differents between WWE, TNA or RoH, because there all have the same management and all there want is Money it´s so said

[MrRockMASHUPZ]

Toru Yano = IWGP's HHH

[fofferk]

how was mvp never a main event HEEL!! in the wwe

[therrydicule]

@Slame333 In many interviews, he said he always wanted to work in japan, but that he was not able because of his criminal record - he been implicated in a gang and spend 9 years in jail for kidnapings and armed robbery- pretty hard to get a visa when you are a convicted kidnapper, let alone one who converted to Islam. But, look, he been as clean as one could possibly be since 1989, he work hard, never been late to any meetings or show, and he got many letters of recommendations...
