MVP Explains Rey Mysterio Selling Psychology in Pro Wrestling (EP. 33)

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. This episode dives into selling under a mask, how to restart after a concussion check, fixing missed moments on live TV, and signaling a character reboot before a word is spoken, all with raw, unfiltered insight from one of the most respected veterans in the business. MVP opens with holiday banter and a Yamazaki 12 toast before breaking down the art of masked work: why body language carries the story, how great luchadors sell pain, and the crowd psychology he learned working with Rey Mysterio, Blue Demon Jr., and La Parka. He shares Jody Hamilton’s selling tip and a house-show lesson on letting a beloved babyface sell. When a ringside doctor pauses action for a concussion check, MVP lays out heel and babyface options that pull fans back in, including a live-event example with Finley that re-ignited the crowd on the restart. Production matters too. MVP explains truck communication, producers, and using replays to recover missed shots, and why you can’t “fix” a blown finish. He closes with how music, gear, movement, and demeanor signal a character reboot, citing Sting’s Crow era, Hogan’s nWo turn, and Undertaker’s American Badass.
