MVP goes in-depth about why The Hurt Business never returned to WWE programming despite being told it was going to happen.
Former WWE Superstar MVP recently took part in a K&S WrestleFest virtual signing earlier this week. When asked why the Hurt Business was never put back together, MVP revealed they were told it was going to happen and merchandise was even made for the group’s return.
“We were told we were going to be reunited,” MVP said. “I still have a shirt. the shirts were made. Hurt Business on the front. Back in business on the back. They were made. We were told that it was going to happen. Next thing I see, Bobby is with the Street Profits. ‘What happened here?’ I get a call from Bruce [Prichard], ‘Somebody should have called you. Sorry. We decided we’re going in a different direction.’ What the f*ck is that? That’s not professional.
MVP doesn’t believe WWE was professional
“That’s how it went down. I’m a professional. I show up and I go to work and do what I’m told. In the pro wrestling business, once you get to a certain level, you do have input into what you do. It’s one thing when we’re told, ‘We’re going to do this’ and steps have been made, and then there is a pivot without a conversation. That’s not good business. I don’t care what anybody thinks.
“That’s not how you do business. Needless to say, I was very salty about that. We had Bobby going from a two-time WWE champion to not being in the conversation or in the title picture at all. Got put with The Street Profits [Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins], who were white hot, and they got cooled off. The Street Profits went from being major figures to sitting in catering. I don’t know why. I don’t understand it, but I don’t make decisions in that way.” [H/T: Fightful]
