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. In Episode 43, the show goes on location to Jiu-Jitsu World League Houston in Rosenberg, Texas to follow MVP’s son, Camden, aka Vontavious Imperial Porter (VIP), through gi and no gi competition, coaching, and a double gold day, all with raw, unfiltered insight from one of the most respected veterans in the business.

MVP and Dwayne capture the tournament flow with mat-side coaching, adjustments, and post-match breakdowns on composure, pacing, and position before submission. MVP stresses he is most proud of Camden’s choices, sportsmanship, and coachability, not just the medals.

Professor Kurt Zettlemoyer joins for an interview on meeting MVP, building Champions BJJ, creating a welcoming gym culture, and why jiu-jitsu is both physical and mental. He also explains the difference between pro wrestling holds for show and jiu-jitsu holds for real use. Learn more about Champions BJJ at https://gbchampions.com/.

VIP reflects on nerves, strategy, listening to coaches, and learning to stop watching the clock and stay focused. The episode also captures his gray and white belt promotion, which MVP calls especially meaningful as his first belt promotion as a black belt.

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.

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. Episode 41 brings a Hot Take on Bret Hart vs Kurt Angle and a masterclass on saving a dying comeback, all with raw, unfiltered insight from one of the most respected veterans in the business.

Dwayne gives the edge to Kurt Angle, while MVP rides with Bret Hart, breaking down why Bret’s storytelling and old school foundation separate him bell to bell. They even debate signature submissions, comparing the Ankle Lock and Sharpshooter, and challenge the audience to choose a side.

Then it gets technical. MVP explains how to keep a babyface alive through hope spots, crowd timing, and match structure so the comeback feels earned. He also lays out why the finish stays the finish unless it gets called in.

From there, MVP drops a legendary Undertaker road story with Cypress Hill and 123 Kid: a callout at the hotel bar, a smokeout upstairs, the “magic vest,” and the room looking like Jonestown when it was over. Pure locker room lore and leadership, straight from the road.
