MVP deserves his credit.

He turned a one off Royal Rumble appearance into a producer role and took Shelton (who was probably going to have another wasted odd couple tag team run), Cedric (who was on Vince's shit list) and Bobby (whose gimmicks included having male sisters, bending over every week to show his ass, and a Skinemax version of a Blacked.com storyline) and made them into a championship stable.

Also MVP was in Bobby's corner when he won his first TNA championship, too.

He perfected the Beat Down Clan to the become the Hurt Business (aka BDC 4.0)
 
MVP is inching close to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan levels of greatest manager/stable head of all time.

Heenan had his "Family"....MVP had The Hurt Business.

Heenan had Tag Champs, IC Champs and a World Champ (for a few minutes) in Andre the Giant.

MVP accomplished all that in less than a year (US Title for the IC title of course).

Crazy thing, I can absolutely see MVP becoming a successful heel commentor too.

Dude isn't as quick witted as Heenan but he is valuable asset to the WWE and I'm glad his value was finally recognized last year.
Yep on all of the above. And one of the best guys they have on the mic too. I thought he was gonna be a guy when he came back just jobbing and putting guys over. He had a better path in mind. This must be Hunter or someone else’s doing to see this.

Props to Bobby Lashley on getting the title. He's always had all the tools to be champion except for being a strong promo.
That's where MVP comes in and he's truly been the MVP (no pun intended) in the WWE during the past year.
Elevating all those guys in the Hurt Business from glorified jobbers to champions.
Doesn't hurt that he's close friends with Bruce Prichard so he's got an in with Vince.

The more viable promotions the better for all the talent. I hope it evens out, the WWE are doing everything in their power to keep the market share. They are purposefully shelving talent to keep them from walking but it is too late. The talent is getting tired of being pimped by Vince and having no control over their character.
 
I think AEW's cameramen stay on people too long. You tend to see wrestlers communicating after something like this cause they don't get the shot and move to something else.
Yep, you can see Shaq tapping on Cody's back to let him know he's ok. Other than that, it was a good spot.
Shaq definitely went above and beyond what I thought he would do in this match.
