Hassan Hamin Assad, better known to the world by his wrestling name Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) was seen this past Thursday in Dallas, TX at the Walemania 2 event. The news that he revealed can only be described in two words, game changer.
The former TNA General Manager, inaugural IWGP Intercontinental Champion and two time WWE United States Champion will be returning to weekly televised wrestling. The kicker is that it will be with Lucha Underground.
This is another huge coup for the upstart promotion as their most recent pick up, former WCW and WWE alumni Rey Mysterio, debuted a few weeks ago, causing their ratings to nearly double in his inaugural episode.
Could MVP’s debut draw that many more viewers to El Rey Network on Wednesday Nights? We shall see soon enough.
