When it comes to picking up victories every professional wrestling knows that the right finishing move can go a long way, but it sounds like former WWE United States Champion MVP was not a fan of his move the Playmaker.
MVP recently appeared on Out Of Character with Ryan Satin, and he explained why the move just didn’t fit for him, and why he preferred to use the Drive By when putting his opponents away.
“I hated [The Playmaker]. It was given to me. If you remember, like three or four different people had it before. They were all somehow get out of using it. And I got stuck with it. So I tried to make it look like a Heisman pose. What I hated about it was it relies a lot on the other guy to look good. So I wasn’t really a fan of the playmaker and I can’t even tell you who I enjoyed hitting it on.”
“My favorite was The Shining Black that I stole shamelessly from Chono Masahiro. One of my all time favorites. Many people dubbed it The Drive By I don’t know who came up with that? I didn’t. I’ve never called it The Drive By , I think, maybe Taz, might have been the first person to say it. I feel like I remember hearing him say that.”
“So when I started doing Chono’s Kick where I’d step off the knee and boot you in the head that was my favorite finish to use. Because I could do it The Big Show, I could do it Rey Mysterio, I could do it to anyone and The Playmaker I couldn’t necessarily do to everybody. Then they decided they wanted me to go and start using a different finish for various reasons. But you know, as far as finishing moves, go, I never even cared for The Playmaker.”
