Brock Lesnar, Oba Femi, and the meaning of passing the torch lead a conversation about how wrestling creates its next generation of stars. Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze is the weekly pro wrestling conversation between longtime friends Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP), a former WWE United States Champion and current AEW star and manager of The Hurt Syndicate, and Houston based rapper, songwriter, and recording artist Dwayne Swayze.


MVP explains why defeating an established name can change the trajectory of a career, remembers winning the WWE United States Championship against Chris Benoit, and shares how he would like to approach his final match.


From WWE tryouts to AEW’s independent wrestling pipeline, MVP breaks down why athletic ability is only the beginning. He also recalls observing NXT promo classes and explains what made The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin authentic stars.


Then the competition gets personal when MVP and Dwayne face off in another round of Beat the Buzzer, with questions about Dean Malenko, WrestleMania, the Cruiserweight Classic, TNA, and NJPW.
