I think this is a step in the wrong direction. He's 40. Was never a huge name to begin with and there is a similar character already in TNA. Shouldn't this money go towards 30 year old Chris Masters or 33 year old John Hennigan? It doesn't matter what age his is, he's TV young and he has a lot of experience behind him not only at home but internationally as well. Not to mention the fact that in his short time on TV (4 years) he was doing so with global exposure. The guy maybe did plataue in the WWE as some people were saying but as far as I'm concerned that was his limit at that time. I think from what I've seen from him recently and his ability to work a variety of styles that given the correct booking from TNA he could be a big star for them. Talent and booking go hand in hand and MVP does have talent.

Shouldn't this money go towards 30 year old Chris Masters or 33 year old John Hennigan? I think you have a point in that yeah, there are some younger talents who would be great hires, though Hennigan might be out of their reach since I figure if he wants back in wrestling, he'd probably go to WWE. I do think MVP is still a good hire, but yeah, his age is still probably going to limit his upside somewhat, but he has been in relatively good health, plus some it's not like a lot of wrestlers haven't stayed in wrestling for a comparatively long time. He's not geriatric or something, but realistically, he probably is looking at 10, maybe 15 years tops in wrestling, if he stays healthy.

Shouldn't this money go towards 30 year old Chris Masters or 33 year old John Hennigan? Yes, but he has a bit more name value and credibility than EC3. A 40 year old in TNA has a much longer shelf life than a 40 year old in WWE. Why can't all of them be signed?

In wrestling years he's probably closer to 30 than 40.

Eh, MVP is alright, but I'd be lying if I said that I was excited to see him in TNA.

I hate when I have a reason to watch TNA. Same here....I've always been a fan of MVP, and I'm a bit disappointed he's not coming back to the WWE, but if the rumors of him signing are true, then I'll definitely have to give TNA a viewing.

I think part of how important his age will be will have to do with what happens with TNA being on the road. If they move back to working from a base more, resulting in lower travel costs and road wear, it'd be much kinder on the bodies of older wrestlers in some cases, or family men, who would basically see their kids every day, versus 4-5 days a week.

I think he'll be good as one of those guys always right there in the title hunt but not getting a world title reign.

I wish TNA would focus more on creating new stars. MVP's time has passed, IMO. He could've been a number two or three face in 2009, but that's already going on five years ago.
He'd be better off just staying in Japan.

John Hennigan is back in wrestling. he does an indy show most all weekends these days. MVP maybe 40 but he started on the main roster late much like Batista who is order. Now MVP is more talented than Batista in the ring. He can be a great signining. Masters and Heenigan can be also.

I always liked him alright. Decent mid-card guy that could be the same here.

EC3 is doing everything I loved about the MVP stuff and, quite frankly I think better than MVP did, and I thought he sucked as a face so other than match quality, which TNA has more than enough of, I don't know what MVP would bring to the table. What am I missing that MVP brings to the table? Jim Jones references. I wouldn't even be listening "We Fly High" right now if it weren't for him.

Say he goes to TNA and gets exposed as a performer like Mr Anderson seriously has. He certainly wouldn't want the WWE thinking that he was made to look better performing with better wrestlers.
