MVP Returns Home!
12/22/07

Hardcore Holiday 2007 was an amazing night of wrestling action capped off by a special appearance of WWE Smackdown! Superstar and US Heavyweight Champion MVP. MVP, formerly known as Antonio Banks, came home for one special night to Coastal Championship Wrestling where he held the CCW Heavyweight Title until his departure for WWE just over two years ago. His mere presence thrilled the fans in attendance as he stood in the ring with the US Title draped over his shoulder and talked about his history with CCW and his journey to the top of the wrestling world with WWE.

The festivities were interrupted by CCW Commissioner Harry Venis. The former Mayor of Davie strolled to the ring, accompanied by a chorus of boos from the fans, and had with him a garbage can. Venis proceeded to spew all of the usual nonsense one would expect to hear from a sleazy politician then capped off his little speech by claiming he had a group of foreign investors ready to buy out MVP's WWE contract so he could come to work for him. He then made the mistake of insulting the history of the US Title by inviting MVP to throw it in the garbage can that he had brought to ringside.

Much to the delight of the fans, MVP opted to hold on to his title belt and then proceeded to throw Venis in the garbage can instead! The crowd then gave the champ a much deserved standing ovation as he made his exit.

Coastal Championship Wrestling would like to extend a huge thank you to MVP for being a part of Hardcore Holiday and to World Wrestling Entertainment for allowing him to do so.
