That's cool and gives me hope that he might get a push. His story is very inspirational and I don't see why WWE aren't milking it. They're PG, you have a guy influencing others not to make his mistakes, I don't get it. Those mistakes led to him serving a very long jail sentence, so the kid-friendly WWE probably doesn't want an ex-con in the limelight. It actually makes perfect sense. Incidentally, what you're referring to was actually originally intended to be Ron "R-Truth" Killings' debut gimmick in 2008, a reformed ex-con with a new lease on life. Then he debuted with his rap song, did his dancey-dance in the middle of the ring, and it was never spoken of again. |

Austin drew back in the Attitude Era when they could get away with cussing and beer drinking, so because of his popularity and ability to bring in money, he was pushed hard. Now the company is going kid-friendly with the likes of Cena and Hornswoggle...but wrestling is a business that is there to make money. In other news, chickens still don't have lips. |

And is it not a good idea to have a guy like MVP encouraging kids to not mess up like he did? If I was younger, I'd rather look up to a guy like MVP. |

IF WWE doesn't want an ex-con in the spotlight, then why are they pushing MVP in a fued wherre the very fact he was an ex-con is being used as a focal point.? Isn't that putting an ex-con in the spotlight? |

Isn't that putting an ex-con in the spotlight? Seriously. Every single time he gets near a microphone it's brought up and expanded on. Have people already forgot about the epic 20 minutes him and Miz got on Raw? It was pretty much the entire focus of the promo. They really couldn't push him as an ex-con any more without beating you over the head with it to a point where it gets annoying. |

Did you just compare a fully grown man enjoying an adult beverage to kidnapping? |
