The Original IWGP Intercontinental Belt Is Missing And MVP Reveals What He Owns (EP. 39)

Описание: Hosted by longtime friends Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) and Houston-based rapper & songwriter Dwayne Swayze, Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze takes you inside the world of professional wrestling like never before. In Episode 39, MVP recaps his son Camden’s first NAGA tournament, then revisits the true story of becoming the inaugural IWGP Intercontinental Champion, all with raw, unfiltered insight from one of the most respected veterans in the business.

MVP shares what stood out most about Camden’s composure, listening to coaching, and showing respect to opponents after the match. It becomes a quick lesson in competing the right way, whether you win or learn.

On the wrestling side, MVP explains how New Japan commissioned the original IWGP Intercontinental title and how the tournament played out across New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia. He talks early matches with Kazuchika Okada, Tetsuya Naito, and Toru Yano, plus why Japanese wrestling legacy feels different.

Then the conversation turns to heat. MVP explains why racism, politics, and religion are risky lanes for characters, and why smarter heel work gets boos without poisoning the locker room.

The episode closes with Hot Takes on Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels as the better big match performer, and both hosts asking you to sound off. Like, comment, subscribe, and share.
