Friday Night Frenemies: MVP and Matt Hardy (2007-2008)

Stone Cold vs. McMahon. Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart. MVP vs. Matt Hardy. Feuds between superstars is an ancient tenent of professional wrestling, a storyline as old as time, and we’re here to revisit an underrated, nuanced feud between Montell Vontavius Porter and Matt Hardy. The wacky antics of this odd couple gave us iconic moments like a boxing match with Evander Holyfield, beer drinking contest with Stone Cold, and an eventual dissolution with one of the most eccentric losses in wrestling history. Producer Jason joins us to recount his experience watching the story unfold back when it first aired, Audio Ben feels all the feelings from LA Knight’s promo tribute to Bray Wyatt, Matt provides color commentary from the car, and Rachel analyzes the 2011 WWE Documentary “Randy Orton: The Evolution of a Predator”.
