Hosted by longtime friends Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) and Houston-based rapper & songwriter Dwayne Swayze, Marking Out takes you inside the world of professional wrestling like never before. In this episode, MVP reveals how legendary mentors like Arn Anderson and William Regal shaped his heel psychology, ring style, and mindset. He explains what makes “selling” so powerful in wrestling—from iconic moments with Rey Mysterio and Batista to infamous missteps on the road—and why knowing when to no-sell (or when not to) is a lost art. MVP also opens up about the evolution of social media in wrestling, breaking down how today’s performers must balance self-promotion, fan engagement, and the constant pressure to stand out in a crowded field. The conversation covers why mystique is fading, the double-edged sword of going viral, and how old-school values still matter even in a TikTok era. With real talk about locker room culture, agent feedback, and wild behind-the-scenes stories, this episode is packed with advice for both new wrestlers and longtime fans. —all with raw, unfiltered insight from one of the most respected veterans in the business.
