MVP probably wouldn't even be in TNA if he didn't have the freedom to do whatever he wanted. People act like TNA is somehow on WWE's level and hands out exclusive contracts. It isn't the case.
I'm not going to say to restrict him from doing that all the time, just don't let him go out to another country and wrestle when you have a massive PPV coming up when he's in the main event. When it's not Slammiversary or BFG, he's free to do whatever the hell he wants.

Injuries happen. Shit happens. People shit on TNA no matter what so today is no different. Had he injured himself at a TNA house show nobody would be crying. You can't live your life based on trying to avoid something like an injury in a physical profession such as pro wrestling.

If a player for a sports team got injured in practice leading up to the championship game would people say "OMG why were they practicing?!?"

True that. I guess the real problem is the fact that they're having to tape weeks worth of episodes all in one go, which means if MVP can't compete, they will have to alter the main event during the PPV itself, and it will most likely be rushed.

But really, at least if at a TNA house show, they could have kept a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid; make it a bit short and sweet, no big bumps that could risk bad injury. While PCW wouldn't want to go all out and risk injury, they won't really care about preserving MVP all for the PPV. They will have a plan, MVP will probably just go for it if he thinks he can do it, but TNA won't be able to step in and say "no, don't do that"

I'll agree that taping that far in advance is destined to come back and bite them in the ass. Did they not learn from WCW?? come on now.

Obviously TNA and MVP are not going to say anything regarding the injury until June 12th (last episode of Impact before Slammiversary on June 15th) because they would ruin the EY/MVP storyline that's remaining on two Impacts before the PPV. So, I expect some sort of announcement (if there has to be) regarding the injury on June 12th or 13th, not before. And that's a good move by TNA.

have MVP make a match between KK and Lashley for the opportunity. The match would be dank, people would be interested in seeing who gets his spot, and more importantly.....Kenny King for the Crown? Who in the world doesnt want that.

I'm hoping MVP recovers in time for Slammiversary as it would be a shame for the main event of one of their top 3 PPV's to be changed at the last minute. If MVP however does not recover in time for Slammiversary it seems likely he would still make EY face another of his cronies to continue the storyline/feud. The obvious option to me seems like Bobby Lashley.

As far PPV main event being in jeopardy, there's always a way around it, hell to make it even 10x better main event. King of the Mountain sounds like a great solution, and can easily be set up at the top of the PPV.

^ Hell fucking yeah. If KOTM was announced as a replacement I would mark like a 6 year old boy for John Cena.

It would be cool if they turned it into some sort of work, like having a bunch of heartfelt EY vignettes of his training for this "big match" with MVP, then they have their final faceoff and MVP is like "You're not facing me anymore, Eric. In 3 days, you'll be facing this guy!" and have Lashley clothesline him as EY gives his best "oh shit" look as they fade to black. (Or Aids's idea works too because Kenny King > You)

Can't blame TNA for letting their guys go out and work indies. The guys get the cash and TNA gets talked about at indy shows. Win/win. Sucks for MVP but it's a blessing in disguise for TNA because any match they do would be more interesting than this.

It is seeming like Lashley might be MVP's replacement should he not be able to compete. Since earlier a few news sites have mentioned that Lashley is considered as plan B. I'd rather see Lashley compete than MVP also, MVP is looking a little big these days and not in the complimentary sense.

Seems like I was spot on. Today is June 13th, and TNA announced MVP is out.
