What exactly is WWE trying to do?

[The Rated R CMStar]

Details are sketchy, but one thing is certain...MVP is in the doghouse.

Just 4 months ago, MVP was on the top of his game, his character, altough not pushed instantly to the moon after losing the US Title and missing some PPVs, he was right there in upper midcard just waiting for his chance.

However, somewhere between SS and Unforgiven, he pissed of someone, and his losing streak began.

Now, it's obvious to me that WWE's goal (at least not intentionaly), it's not to bury MVP. It wouldn't make any senses as he still gets a hell lot of mic time, he even gets PPV time. However, he isn't exactly being pushed as loses to DAMN KUNG FU NAKI shows you.


To me, this is a way of the WWE to see if MVP's character can survive the pass of time. Thinking about it, almost every heel goes over a time like this, in which there's no way in which he can win a match or a feud. Randy Orton didn't win a feud in 2004-2006 until he defeated Carlito at Unforgiven. Our reigning IC Champion was a jobber for months, losing in a matter of seconds. Mark Henry, The Great Khali, almost every heel gets into a time frame in which he only loses.


Do you think that MVP will survive this, or will the moment in which he's no longer able to draw heat with the simple act of standing in the ring with a mic in his hand might be arriving soon?

After No Mercy I was left wondering if maybe they're working on changing the emphasis of his character so that he's a bit more of a 'comedy' heel. Not cracking jokes and stuff, but being the brunt of comedic angles and maybe stealing the win in the pay-off match of fueds.

Almost like a bling Santino.

They are trying to work up a lot of heat with him. What I see happening is him getting beat time and again until he snaps and becomes a vicious heel.

You see this is what WWE are failing to do. Do they go all out Hardcore like the Attitude Era or do they go milder like today?

Going to Hardcore would perhaps lose viewing from kids as I know, when I was a kid in the 80's I was not aloud to watch wrestling because it was too violent.

Going to mild would definitely make me lose interest as it is slightly doing do now.

So, the obvious option is to go mid-way, have a bit of both, make ECW too late for kids to watch and have that violent, make Smack down milder and have Raw in between.

Why do WWE fail to see that this could work, they either have to go one way or the other when really they could have the best of both.

agreed 100%. If they were trying to bury his character he would not be getting the mic time he's getting. I just believe that he is going to be an angry, vengeful heel for about the next 2 to 3 years, winning the US and eventually IC titles and move on to RAW. This is just a process to build MVP's internal character. He has to be able to deal with losing in order to be able to gain the respect of everyone who thinks he really is a winner. MVP has IT and we'll soon see that no matter what anyone said in the past he is a STAR and 10x's better than that other guy, whats his name???? oh yeah - Kennedy....Kennedy.
