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. Thing is I don't see Hennigan potentially blowing a WWE return to wrestle for TNA. 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. There is a far differences between Anderson and Hennigan. Even in the WWE a lot of people found Anderson not that good of a wrestler. John always was known for his in ring work than anything else. I don't see him becoming like Anderson is TNA because between the too John as more in ring talent. I mean compare them as for as who has had more quality matches. John as more. I think a lot of fans would go crazy to see him face a lot of guys in TNA. To say he wouldn't do it because he WWE stuff. Ok remember Melina? They are still together as far as I know and was one of the reason why John was depushed. I don't know how great of terms he and the WWE really are.

On the subject of Morrison/Hennigan, I find it hilarious that the most entertaining he's been in his whole career was that HHH vs Undertaker video he did

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. The puro style seems like it would be harder for a guy his age than American style wrestling would.

I'd be lying if I said i'd watched his Japan work, but I did hear he improved greatly in that time while there. I did get to see his match with Sami Callihan at House of Hardcore 2, the only work of his I've seen since his work over in Japan & it's easy to say his ring work is a lot better than it ever was; I don't think his age matters at this point, he's a very solid worker with talent on the microphone, was known from the WWE not too long ago & deserves a platform to showcase his talents.
A feud with EC3 would be a logical step for him, saying he's been down that very same path & it didn't exactly work out too well for him until he broke out on his own & was his own man. I feel it could be an entertaining TV program, & that's really all I want these days.

I figure this is a ploy by Dixie to help sell the company.
She wants to show potential buyers that TNA can lure big-time talent away from WWE. I can see her providing proof to a naive buyer: "We just signed' WWE's MVP away from them. When we close this deal you can probaby get Cena."

Following WWE to TNA pattern... MVP as the new TNA Champion is 5...4...3...

I hope it's true, I'm pumped for it if so.
Though I'm already dreading how terrible his theme will be.

I'm a big fan of MVP, but I'm losing interest in TNA. By the way, he owns the name (and already used it in New Japan) so there's no reason to come up with alternative names. I was hoping WWE would sign him.

THing is... Japan doesn't want MVP at this point. He went, did his thing, and the crowd mostly responded with "OK, got anything else" and he didn't, so New Japan didn't renew his contract and no one else seems to have the money to pay him there so got to find work somewhere else.

What's screwdriver doing in the Impact Zone?!
But really, he's good friends with Dave Lagana so this doesn't shock me.

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? Maybe they have made the same offer to Masters and Hennigan, but they didn't accept because they have better prospects, and MVP knowing he has not much left in years took it. I get sick of these, why is this guy hired and not this guy. Thing is TNA's offers are laughable at times, I'm sure a lot of wrestlers turn down contracts because they can make more on the indies/have control over there schedules and some guys are desperate enough to take it or hope they get enough exposure on Impact so they can go back to the indies and charge more.
