Speaking during an appearance on the Battleground Podcast, MVP revealed that discussions are underway about bringing in a new member to The Hurt Syndicate which consists of him, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin. He also spoke about why MJF in The Hurt Syndicate did not work and stated that MJF did not have the drive for violence.
“We are currently discussing adding a new member. The last go-around, we tried it with MJF. It didn’t go well because he just didn’t make the cut. He wasn’t good enough. He doesn’t have the drive, he doesn’t have internal capability for true violence. He’s a huckster… I went out on a limb and vouched for him with my colleagues but, he just didn’t make the cut so, that kind of soured us a little bit about trying to add somebody new but, we think we do need a little youthfulness. We need a youthful spark, so, it could be about time to add a new member.” H/T to Fightful for the transcription.
