20 Incredible WWE Ruthless Aggression Era Moments Nobody Ever Talks About

10. MVP Is Coming!

Many moons before he was managing the likes of The Hurt Business and Omos, Montel Vontavious Porter debuted on WWE TV as a hot free agent in August 2006.

It wasn't long before the arrogant new heel found himself being signed to a big ol' deal on Teddy Long's SmackDown. And once the ink had dried on that lucrative contract, MVP only went and unleashed one of the most ridiculous and wonderfully heelish entrances of the era.

Demanding an inflatable tunnel with his moniker stamped on the front be shoved onto the ramp before he made his grand arrival, the star would then strut out of the outrageous blown-up tent and trigger an excessive amount of pyro out of some nearby MVP-stickered boxes.

It was all kinds of dumb and unnecessary, but it only helped enhance an already full-of-self character and made the annoying newcomer feel like a bit of a big deal out of the gate, actually.

MVP himself may not have been a big fan of his entrance tune back in the day, but the former United States Champion bursting through that tunnel with a chip on his shoulder to the sound of 'I'm Comin' was definitely one of the more underrated entrances of the time - especially his incredible debut arrival at No Mercy 2006.
