On September 27, General Manager Theodore Long and Porter came to an agreement on a contract for MVP to join the SmackDown roster. The press conference was shown exclusively on WWE.com. Signing Porter was not easy. Despite the fact that he has yet to step in a SmackDown ring, MVP was hyped by his agents as "the most talented free agent in the game," and he was in high demand from organizations all over the sports-entertainment world. Despite Long's requests, MVP made it clear that he wasn't getting in the ring until a contract was signed, because as MVP's saying goes, "no contract, no contact." Porter's skills may still be unproven in the ring, but his game remains tight. MVP is always dressed in the finest threads, and is more than willing to show off the "ice" around his neck or the gold around his wrist. Porter is also rarely seen without his trusted female companions by his side. |
