That’s what it appears to be, as the former United States Champion has taken NXT tag team Shane Thorne & Brendan Vink under his wing, and was seen counseling Bobby Lashley Monday night.

MVP always has been a skilled talker, and with his in-ring career all but over, it’s probably a good time to transition to a managerial role. The idea of the braggadocios MVP leading a tag team and Lashley in a stable could be fun, and he could still get his hands dirty from time to time, kind of like a player/coach.

And hey, if this gets Lana out of the picture with Lashley for him to be taken seriously, then we’re all for it.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
