Swagger's rep in WWE, MVP getting new gimmick?

[Binky Barnes]

[quote]Smackdown Superstar MVP was in the doghouse with WWE officials again before being put in the new feud with Jack Swagger. The only thing said about MVP’s recent heat is that it’s for the same reasons he’s been in and out of the doghouse for the past two years.

MVP is looking to reinvent himself and suggested doing a rapper gimmick to officials. MVP has even recorded a rap song to go with the gimmick. [/quote]

I hope the rapper gimmick works for MVP. It won't be anywhere near as controversial as Cena's as he played his one out in a time of less restrictions. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing MVP return to being the cocky heel that he used to be. You know, the MVP that won championships.

Swagger's rep isn't mentioned at all. The entire thing is about MVP.

[BlackToxic]

First MVP starts doing terrible "Cena jokes" on Smackdown and now he's going to do one of Cena's old gimmicks. If you can't beat them, copy them right? I Hope it fails.

[Haas3-16]

I'm not liking this rapper gimmick at all for MVP. I like BlackToxic hope it fails.

Im so bored of MVP to be honest i just don't want him on my screen, i feel like it would be too similar to Truth if he did this gimmick.

[Guest]

Turn him heel!

[Chef Boyardee]

The same rap song he and cena are working on?

[Avenger.]

I just want his epic entrance back.

[Steve Carell]

They never should have turned him face in the first place.

I think it was the statement "MVP was in the doghouse with WWE officials again before being put in the new feud with Jack Swagger." implying that being in a feud with Swagger is a punishment. not 100% on that.

[Beautiful Disaster]

He left out a part of the article for some reason.

Or this lol.

[WillowTheWhisp]

i really hope officials turn it down -.-

[L.I.O.]

When they turned him face, just face it, everything went downhill from there. He was such a great heel when he first entered the company, and a great heel right before he went on that losing streak.

And besides his old entrance was just great. I miss the good ol' dome.

[Retro]

I really don't care for his character at the moment. I would like to see if he can work with other characters, but he just doesn't interest me.

[IAMTHESHOWOFF]

Turn the guy heel again please.

[Rated DZP]

I'm glad to see how they're starting off a little feud between MVP and Swagger. He actually beat him 2 weeks ago. If they handle this correctly and give him another gimmick, he might not need a Heel turn to make it in the Main Event. I would like to see the blimp-thingy in his entrance though

For some reason, I agree with this hateful point of view.

Here's the whole article.

[quote name='NoDQ.com'] Smackdown Superstar MVP was in the doghouse with WWE officials again before being put in the new feud with Jack Swagger. The only thing said about MVP’s recent heat is that it’s for the same reasons he’s been in and out of the doghouse for the past two years.

MVP is looking to reinvent himself and suggested doing a rapper gimmick to officials. MVP has even recorded a rap song to go with the gimmick.

[b]Swagger, on the other hand, is getting high praise from WWE officials because the key people see him as a long-term Superstar. Swagger gets props on his great attitude, his size and athletic ability.[/b]

Major props for swagger.

[Spyder78]

What the hell another R-Truth gimmick, bad enough that one is pissing me off >_>

[Dazman™]

Well I just hope they turn him heel soon, I don't know about the rapper gimmick though.

[Perfect Weapon.]

[center][font="Georgia"]Rapper gimmick?

Yeah, that's original. >_>[/font][/center]

same here.

It's just too stereotypical. I know MVP suggested it... but Why can't the writing team come up with something unique for him? Actually they sort of already did... it's just that his gimmick has gotten kind of stale. They could turn him heel and make him a crazy ex con (not like Nails lol)... might be tough to keep the character PG, but I bet it would work in getting him over as a serious heel. And even that isn't a great idea but is better than another wrestler/rapper combo.

Or perhaps they could go the opposite route and turn him into like a renaissance man who is doing everything he can to put his past behind him and gain culture and civility and do it in a babyface, rising from the ashes type of angle as opposed to an obnoxious, arrogant heel version of the same character (which we've seen too many countless times already, like HHH's first gimmick).
