Montel Vontavious Porter on Ric Flair Tearing Up the VIP Lounge Script

MVP looks back at Ric Flair vs. MVP from Royal Rumble 2008 inside Madison Square Garden, a career-threatening match where Flair’s career was on the line and MVP was trying to make his own name as United States Champion. MVP explains why the match was monumental for his career, including the fact that it was Ric Flair’s last match at Madison Square Garden and MVP’s first match in the legendary arena. MVP also shares the story behind the VIP Lounge segment that led into the match. Minutes before going live on SmackDown, Ric Flair took the script, tore it up, and trusted MVP to go word for word with him in one of MVP’s proudest promo moments. The result was two professionals working in the moment, knowing when to step in, when to step off, and how to build a segment without relying on scripted dialogue.
