Backstage Heat On MVP After Urine Tester Incident
Date Added: September 04, 2008
Story By: Tim Brown
MVP apparently upset members of WWE management by making fun of one of the testers who watches the WWE wrestlers while they submit urine samples in a cup. His comments inspired WWE’s head of talent relations John “Johnnny Ace” Laurinaitis to hold a locker room meeting to indirectly address the incident. Laurinaitis instructed talent to be respectful to the testers.
MVP wasn’t happy that Ace made such a fuss over the situation, and those who were aware of MVP’s joke knew the meeting was obviously about him.
There has been some tension between MVP and management, stemming from agents telling him to work more like Shelton Benjamin and feeling that he wasn’t responding well to the orders.

I think that is not wise. There is already a Shelton Benjamin, why try and make the workers carbon copy clones of each other. With 3 different brands under the WWE umbrella, they need all the diversity they can get instead of 5 hours a week of the same old style. He is obviously getting over doing his thing, let him rise on his talents.
