MVP: WWE Superstar Talks Sherri Shepherd, Wrestling & More
Montel Vontavious Porter is best known to World Wrestling Entertainment fans as MVP, the cocky, bling-loving, cornrow-sporting superstar popular for his catchphrase “Ballin’!”
But MVP’s audience has now expanded from the cult following of wrestling enthusiasts to women, thanks to his association with ‘The View’ co-host Sherri Shepherd.
Fans of the ABC daytime chat fest tuned in to WWE’s ‘Friday Night Smackdown’ to see the newly divorced Shepherd accompanying the 35-year-old grappler ringside in his match against superstar Dolph Ziggler at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
The pair even appeared together at the BET Awards in Los Angeles in June.
I caught up with the Miami-bred 250-pound powerhouse wrestler backstage at Washington, D.C.’s Verizon Center before a recent WWE ‘Monday Night RAW’ broadcast to find out the real deal on his apparent romance with Shepherd and to talk about his road to stardom in the WWE.
