MVP Lashes Out Against Dirt Sheets And Pro Wrestling Media

MVP likes to hurt people as part of The Hurt Syndicate, but isn't a fan of pro wrestling dirt sheets.

The current AEW star lashed out against dirt sheets and pro wrestling media during his recent Marking Out Podcast. MVP responded to reports of heat between him and Mike Bailey on the show. Not only did he shoot down the reports, but he openly took shots at those who reported the news.

"At no point did I ever say that I dislike Speedball Mike Bailey," MVP said. "I don’t have an issue with Speedball. We work together, we see each other, we shake hands, and we keep it moving like there’s no issue there. I don’t have any problems with any of the talent that I work with at AEW. Mike Bailey’s one of the nicest guys around."

After setting the record straight on his relationship with Bailey in AEW, MVP opened up on the dirt sheets and wrestling media that he says fabricated that news.

"That’s bullsh*t. Just straight bullsh*t. I’ve never been a fan of the dirt sheets. And there's a reason that they've been historically called the dirt sheets. You're getting the dirt. And my personal opinion is that these people are leeches on my profession."

He continued:

"I don't have any respect for that dirt sheet gossip because, overwhelmingly, what I see being reported, it's just not true. And I'm not going to spend much more time addressing it because I'm a professional. And what happens in the locker room and what happens in the office should stay in the locker room in the office."

MVP has been with AEW since 2024. He's not only become a regular television act for the company, but he also reformed a very successful WWE faction of his in AEW.

MVP was the leader of The Hurt Business in WWE. That faction held tag team gold, but also world championship gold in WWE.

In AEW, MVP brought back the group that comprises Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. In WWE, the group also included Cedric Alexander. Since joining AEW, The Hurt Syndicate have been AEW World Tag Team Champions.
