Sancho, I know your'e a fan. This has come up in dribs and drabs on here, but I dont understand the lack of love/respect this guy gets. I think he is a very solid performer, considering he's a rookie on the WWE stage. His work the last few weeks with the rotating cast of "champions" he was bringing in to tune up for his battle with Benoit was classic. He is a wonder on the mic. Considering how many bad promo guys there are around, he's a breath of fresh air. He plays the character very well, he just drips of an arrogance. His work with Mr Kennedy was classic, they played off of one another very well.
More importantly, he holds his own in the ring. I am tired of the internet smarks ripping him for being sloppy. He really isnt. He has put on long matches, and he has been in the ring with some of the top guys. The fact that he was not out of place in main even matches is a very good thing.
Really looking forward to his match with Benoit at Mania. I hope he comes out smelling like a rose, and brings the US Title home to roost.

granted i haven watch Smackdown in a bout 3 weeks but everytime i see this guy i like him a littler more. he seems to get "it". i think most of the Net hat comes from the fact that the gimmick and outfit are kinda goofy, that and the internet wrestling community didn't "Make" him a la CM punk.so he gte hated on.look For MVP to take the strap sunday.and even if he did suck Working with benoit can only help.
Forgot to mention... He does a Ballin Elbow drop, MVP knows whats hot with the kids and is connecting to them with that.smart Mofo, that move really fits the gimmick

I like that move where he bends his leg around the guys head while the guy is down, and he flip-spins him like a twisting vice. You're right, the guy "gets it."

I agree with the Benoit thing. MVP needs to have a good match sunday if he wants to get a big mid card push, Benoit is the guy to do that with.
I like the goofy moves too. It's all shit that kids are saying and know and dancing like, but he does it like he knowsit's corny and it gets him instand heat, I love it. I'm torn on him taking the belt though, I could def see it happen and wouldn't be pissed in the least, but I think Benoit adds something to the title picture, importance. I think hanging on to it longer does that. I'd like it if he and MVP have a really good match that paints MVP as a worthy challenger for this and other belts in the future, as well as reinforcing the fact Benoit can take a beaten but can win a match in an instant.
I think besides a few holes here and there, Mania is gonna be good cause of the undercard and this match will be one of the better undercard matches.

I have to say I am also a fan of MVP and I love "The People's Elb..."..oh I mean the "The Ballin' Elbow"..I think Sancho hit the nail on the head in his post as to why there is a non appreciation. I also think he gets the belt as it seems, at least to me, that Benoit has been non existant lately....and I love Benoit but he just seems to have fallen of the map with the belt...

There are actually burning rumors that Benoit is slated for a move to Raw, and a bigger push again. They are just letting the water simmer on things for him before unleashing him over there, apparently....we'll see. I dont like him as much as I used to, he seems to be wrestling a lot stiffer, he's not as fluid. Plus I think he needs to go heel.

LOL @ "shines"
As to Benoit, we all know the Benoit/Dynamite Kid comparisons, and how Benoit modeled his whole style after Kid. Well, watching Kid in action again last night, holy crap - its like watching a clone. Benoit does EVERYTHING the same way, including something simple like the deliberate way he will reach down to pull up a downed opponent to inflict more punishment.

Read an interesting story on MVP and his background in the last couple of days. Bet you guys did not know the man spent NINE AND A HALF YEARS in jail, after what is being described as a "robbery" when he was 16. Considering time spent and the initial sentence (18 years!) there must be more to it.
