Pro wrestling veteran and AEW star MVP appeared on an episode of his Marking Out podcast. He discussed various topics, including how the wrestling industry’s approach to injuries has evolved over the years.
MVP said, “There’s been an evolution. Nowadays, if you work for AEW, if you work for WWE, there is a full medical team backstage… There was a time when, if guys got hurt, they didn’t tell the office that they were hurt because they didn’t want to lose their spot; they didn’t want anyone to know that they’re hurt.”
On Dean Malenko realizing he was hiding a groin injury years ago:
“He said ‘It’s either your knee or your groin!’ He had been around a long time and he could tell by how I was moving. ‘It’s your knee or your groin.’ It was both!”
