Former WWE star MVP explains why he has zero respect for Triple H
In a candid interview with BetIdeas, former WWE star and current AEW talent
, better known as MVP, didn't hold back his feelings to criticize WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque.
He made it clear that he has "zero respect" for him.
The reason why he has commented on
stemmed from his perception of how certain talents, notably Bobby Lashley, were utilized under Triple H's leadership.
He highlighted that despite Lashley's status as a two-time WWE Champion, he was assigned to mid-card matches after Levesque acquired the key executive position in WWE. The booking choices were called into question by MVP, and he urged fans to take note of those who filled the main roster's upper echelon at that time.

MVP has commented, 'Let's just say this, Bobby Lashley was a two-time WWE Champion, and after he took over, Lashley was reduced to the midcard. Bobby Lashley is a bankable, marketable guy. And he just got reduced to midcard, whatever. What I said, specifically in response to the person on my Instagram page, was that you see it. It's my opinion of how he chooses to book certain talents.'

He further said, 'Some people say all the time that, 'oh MVP's just griping, MVP's just crying'.
Okay, well just watch the program. Who were the people in the top spots under his leadership? Who were given the opportunities? And I'm not talking about NXT. I'm talking about the main show. I have my opinions, based on my personal experiences.'
MVP said that he will delve deeper into these issues on his upcoming podcast, "
Marking Out with MVP and Dwayne Swaezey.
" He added, 'And at some point on my podcast, I'll talk about it and I'll go in-depth about what my issues are with that man.

Ric Flair's ‘attention-seeking' jab at Jim Ross sparks controversy amid colon cancer recovery
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was slammed by several social media users after he posted a scathing tweet that labelled wrestling commentator Jim Ross as 'attention-seeking'. Flair further urged Ross to 'focus on your recovery'. This comes days after Ross, 73, announced a successful colon cancer surgery. Flair's tweet on Saturday read: 'Jim Ross Will Always Be Jim Ross, Seeking Attention. Focus On Your Recovery @JRsBBQ.' The jab, apparently at Ross's health, faced backlash on social media. 'Ric Flair will always be Ric Flair. Seeking attention. Focus on your sobriety,' one person wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. Another user called Flair's comment 'classless'. Jim Ross is yet to respond to the WWE legend's remarks. Ric Flair responded to the backlash with a tweet, saying: 'If You Can't Take A Joke From A 76 Year Old Man, Then You Are Living Life Too Seriously. It Was All Harmless, Lighthearted Fun! Just Trying To Make People Laugh & Smile!' The animosity traces back to August 2013, during a WWE 2K14 promotional panel at SummerSlam weekend. Ross, hosting the event, struggled to manage an intoxicated Flair, who was grieving his son Reid's recent death and made off-script, controversial remarks. The chaotic panel, deemed unprofessional by WWE, led to Ross's 'retirement' shortly after, which he later described as a dismissal partly due to the incident. Jim Ross took responsibility for the panel's disarray but noted Flair's emotional state made the booking ill-advised, souring their decades-long relationship that began in promotions like WCW. Flair, 76, and Ross, both wrestling icons, once shared a friendship—the former was present when Ross met his late wife Jan—but the 2K incident created a lasting divide. Only days ago, Ross said that his colon cancer surgery was a success, adding that he is rehabilitating.

Himesh Reshammiya takes a dig at critics, asks fans at Mumbai concert 'regular gau yaa naak se?'
Himesh Reshammiya has responded to long-standing criticism of his singing style, addressing the debate head-on during a recent concert in Mumbai. Speaking to a cheering audience, the singer-composer asked whether they preferred his singing in a "regular" tone or in his widely recognised "nasal" manner — a vocal style that has often divided opinion on social media. In the video, after singing two lines of Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Himesh asks the audience, "Thoda regular gau yaa naak se?" (Should I sing in a regular style or nasally?) The 51-year-old artist, who rose to fame in the early 2000s with a string of hit songs, reflected on his journey in a earlier interview. 'I always thought I was doing high-pitch singing,' said Reshammiya, before confidently claiming that he had been the one to introduce nasal singing to the Bollywood music scene. 'Aaj toh nasal ki baat bhi nahi kar rahe hain (Nobody is even talking about my nasal singing these days),' he said, noting how many artists had followed in his footsteps. 'Many people did nasal singing after me. So many of my songs became hits.' Known for chart-toppers like 'Tera Suroor' and 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne', Reshammiya's signature sound has attracted both acclaim and mockery. In the same interview, he responded to actor Janhvi Kapoor's recent comments on Koffee With Karan, where she poked fun at his older Instagram videos. He added, 'It's a good thing. It has been so many years, but the likeability of 'Tandoori Nights' remains. We have millions of views — the word 'tandoori' is very lucky for me.' Reshammiya, who was recently seen in his film 'Badass Ravikumar', is currently on his CapMania concert tour.
