MVP Discusses Prison Time, Special Permits to Travel & more
MVP was interview by Gotricities following Monday’s Saturday Night’sd main Event taping. MVP talks about how an prison officer changed his life and put him on the correct path:
MVP: A lot of fans don’t know, but I think it’s getting out there. As a teen-ager, I ran the streets and got into all kinds of very serious trouble, which resulted in me going to prison for 9½ years. While I was in prison I met a corrections officer who was an independent wrestler. Got out, started training with him and discovered that pro wrestling was my passion. I devoted myself to it and worked hard and made sacrifices and after 5½ years finally got a shot with WWE, and the rest, as they say, is history.
With MVP being in prison, he has a hard time getting into other countries:
There are some countries that I’m not allowed into — Japan being one of them. When I go to Canada, there’s all kinds of legal paperwork that has to be done. There’s a special permit. For the most part, it’s been almost 20 years since my conviction and I haven’t been in trouble. There’ll be times I’m in the airport, they do a background check when I’m going to another country and they pull me to the side. Take me into a room and check my stuff out. But I understand it. Not that I agree with it. But I understand it.
