3) MVP Shoots Down The “Nation Of Domination” Rumors
Over the past few weeks, there have been rumors that WWE is thinking about turning MVP’s new faction into a rebooted version of the “Nation Of Domination”.
MVP was recently a guest on Say Less With Kaz and Lowkey. During his, he shot down these rumors:
“No, no, the short answer is no. You know because I’ve been hearing the chatter and I’ve been seeing that and I don’t want to do the new anything you know. The Nation was done, it was awesome and the time it was done. It was needed you know, stars were made. I don’t want to rehash something else. I want to bring something new and I don’t necessarily in our approach to The Hurt Business. Me and Bobby as you know, are legitimate friends. Like away from wrestling, we boys. Shelton is one of my closest friends. I just like making money with my friends you what I’m saying.”
My Take:
- I am happy that MVP is going in his own direction with the faction. They shouldn’t rehash the past and they should focus on giving fans something new.
2) What Ric Flair Is Pitching For Summerslam
According to an interview with TV Insider, Ric Flair has been pitching WWE management for himself to appear at Summerslam.
Ric wants to manage Randy Orton during his match against Drew McIntyre but hasn’t heard back from WWE:
“The thing with Orton is it’s a real life story. His dad and I have been friends since the ’70s. We probably started around the same time. I watched Randy grow up. I was there the day he came up with Dave [Bautista] in Evolution. I don’t know if I would have that same impact on a lot of people. I certainly would love the opportunity, but I think it would have to be one of those scenarios. I’m trying to get me to manage Randy against [Drew] McIntyre [at SummerSlam]. I don’t know. I haven’t heard back, but it’s not because I’m not trying.”
My Take:
- I love Ric but he doesn’t need to be involved. For his health, I want him to stay home and stay safe.
