Hosted by longtime friends Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) and Houston-based rapper & songwriter Dwayne Swayze, Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze takes you inside the world of professional wrestling like never before. In Episode 59, MVP and Dwayne cover Father’s Day, young wrestlers chasing viral moments, bad contracts, the Kane Inferno match at WWE Armageddon 2006, and WWE paydays, all with raw, unfiltered insight from one of the most respected veterans in the business.

Dwayne opens with a dad story from his daughter’s hip-hop dance class before MVP surprises him with a Father’s Day gift tied to Jay-Z bars and a Datejust. The moment becomes a real appreciation of the work behind the show.

MVP explains why viral clips can hide poor fundamentals, why some independent contracts are traps, and why learning how to wrestle for television is different from working a live room.

The centerpiece is a full watch along for Kane vs. MVP from WWE Armageddon 2006. MVP breaks down the fire gel, cold safety gear, dress rehearsal, learning from Kane, struggling to breathe, and the backstage ovation that made him feel like he belonged.

MVP also reflects on the matches fans remember most, his Inferno match payoff, advice from Batista about discussing money, an Umaga lesson about challenging a low payoff, Dwayne’s upcoming music, and a D. Wade story from Mansion nightclub.
