ESPN has an interview online with MVP in their Video Games section that was done to promote last night's Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Below are the highlights:
Thoughts on The Miz: Any time you have two talents on the screen, the whole point is to create compelling television. You want to create something that the fans are going to tune in to watch. I've known Miz for a long time. We were both at the now-defunct Deep South developmental territory, and dude works hard. He works really, really hard at his craft. I remember him vaguely as that kid from "The Real World," and I had no respect for him, but he earned my respect by working hard and practicing and improving his craft. Now we're both at a level where we both want to be in that top tier; he's bringing his A-game, I'm bringing my A-game and neither one of us is going to back off. It's just a matter of you have to step your game up, and when we do that, the fans win. It's a win-win for everybody because we step our games up, the fans get to be entertained and the higher-ups get to watch us evolve and grow. Hopefully we're the main-eventers that you're going to watch tomorrow.
If his program with The Miz will go until Wrestlemania: It's interesting, because with stuff like that, you never know. I don't know, but I'd love to see Miz at Wrestlemania for the United States championship. That would be huge. I just don't know if he'll be able to avoid me that long.
Thoughts on Bret Hart returning: I had met Bret Hart for the first time, and Bret Hart is just one of those guys who I respected immensely. It's not often when I have a moment where I'm star-struck, if you will. But having the opportunity to talk to Bret Hart and shake hands with somebody who I think so highly of, and then see him inside the ring with Shawn Michaels, it was a historic moment. And to be there and to watch it take place was a privilege because it was definitely a moment in time that will be remembered in our industry
