There are many professional wrestlers who have done it all inside the squared circle and then moved on to being a commentator as well. One such star is former WWE United States Champion and the current Manager of the Hurt Syndicate, MVP. MVP was a commentator for a brief period in WWE.
Recently, while speaking to Donnie DaSilva and Jimmy Korderas on Huge Pop! MVP revealed that Vince McMahon would often speak over trying to give the former WWE United States Champion some advice on what to say. But very quickly MVP found a smart tactic to try and say something different before McMahon could provide his instructions. MVP claims to have done so because he was confident that whatever he was going to say would always be better than what McMahon wanted him to say.
“I figured out something real quick. Vince would make suggestions on what to say, and I figured out real quickly, what I would hear in my headset, the mic would key, I know Vince was about to make a suggestion. I would say something before he could speak because I know whatever I say is going to be way better than whatever he suggested. I would hear the mic click like he was about to say something, and then I would say something, and I would hear the mic click out. That would happen all the time. I just knew he was going to say something and I would say something quick and witty and I would hear the mic key out. I guess he would go, ‘Okay, that was good,'” MVP said. [H/T Fightful.com]
