The other angle it reminds me of is the one with Diamond Dallas Page in WCW. Now I'm trying to remember it exacy, I think DDP won all his money gambling because he was so lucky, then his luck ran out and he started losing his matches and his money too. I remember before one Saturday Night Match he had his vest reposessed. If I remember correctly, I think Teddy Long eventually turned him around back in WCW, maybe it's time for Teddy Long and MVP to untie.

No. He had a "benefactor" which was rumored to be Ted DiBiase, but that angle was scrapped and it was never revealed who gave Page all of that money.

Yeah, there's been a lot of discussion that pops up in various threads here about how this almost mirrors DDP's angle perfectly. Also, what are Teddy and MVP going to untie?

I think it is a good angle for MVP. Maybe not right now but I totally see a face run coming for him in a year or two just like DDP got.

I remember the WWE putting Jeff Hardy into an "unlucky/losing streak until he finds his way again" angle for a few weeks.
It was horrible, since Jeff didn't have the kind of persona for it.

maybe it's time for Teddy Long and MVP to untie. Yeah, Teddy should untie the knot with Kristal, given she's dating Bobby Lashley.

An angle is one thing, but having a terrible losing streak go on for months? That's kinda pushing it. Granted he could bounce back and win the US title next month and all will be forgotten, but still.

It's gone on way too long. It's past the point where it's even an angle now, I don't even remember the last time he won.
"We'll have him start winning again soon, just got this one last guy we need him to put over"
"Sec, just before he starts winning, real quick lets have him put over this one last guy"
"Okay this is last time, just one more quick loss"
Whatever they were going for, could have been done after like 4 losses, not 20 or however many it's been.

Yup, they need to quit booking lazy using MVP as a JTTS and move him forward.

Here's the issue I have with the whole losing streak deal. It can be said, "it's building to something" or "there are big plans for the payoff", but remember, the audience is different now.
When they did it with Skip or DDP in WCW, the fans were generally more patient for an angle to hash out. Nowadays, particularly the SD audience it seems, will get bored with a match within five minutes. Given that, do we really think they have the patience for a big, long "wait for it, wait for it, here ti comes, we're serious this time" angle?
