Former WWE star MVP has opened up about how his on-screen partnership with Omos came to be, along with his opinions on how the 'Nigerian Giant' has been booked by the company in recent times.
Speaking about the situation prior to a K&S WrestleFest virtual signing, MVP said:
"When Vince (McMahon) called me and Bobby (Lashley) in the office, he said, 'Hey guys, I'm gonna split you guys up'. He said, 'Bobby, I want you to be a stand-alone star now'. He said, 'MVP, I wanna put you with Omos. I want you to do for Omos what you do for Bobby'. Those were Vince's words, and you know, praise from Caesar. Okay, alright. I'm not happy about this, but I look forward to the task, and Omos has such a huge heart. Literally and figuratively. He really wants to learn, he wants to get better. He was an open book, coachable and you know, we weren't on TV at the time a lot but we were on all the live events.
"So I got to watch him week in, week out improve and get better, and I had talked to Triple H about how he was being used and Triple H was adamant that he didn't want him to be another Big Show. He didn't want him on TV every week. He wanted him to be an attraction. He just wanted to break him out periodically to be an attraction. So, I don't know what his status is now. I don't know what they plan on doing with him but, I think if you can't — a legitimate 7-foot-3-inch — he was 400 pounds. I think last time I checked, talked to him, he's like 385. His physique is changing, he's getting in better shape.
"If you can't make money with a 7-foot-3-inch, 385-pound basketball player that can move — you don't see him move a lot because they don't want him to. But when he wants to move, you'd be surprised how well that big man can move. If you can't make money with that then you're just an idiot".
A recent report suggested that WWE had given up on Omos. However, Pro Wrestling NOAH Scouting Advisor The Great Muta (Keiji Muto) would love to have him work for the Japanese promotion.
