Alexander felt the execution was off base.
MVP has spoken on the record about the plans that were in place to bring The Hurt Business (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander & MVP) back to WWE television before all four of their exits from the company.
He stated that WWE then went the route of pairing Lashley with The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins).
In a new interview with Knockouts and 3 Counts, Cedric Alexander spoke about that decision as opposed to bringing back The Hurt Business and felt it's something Vince McMahon would have done. He liked the pairing of Lashley and the Profits but felt the execution was off.
"Me personally, when I saw that they, more or less, tried to redo it (The Hurt Business) with Bobby (Lashley) and The Street Profits, I was like, not that I’m opposed to it because I like the dynamic of it but I think they executed it wrong completely. It seemed like something Vince (McMahon) would do. But Vince wasn’t around to do that. It made no sense to me.
Something was already there and people wanted it and you said, let’s give you the lite version and there you go… And like I said before, Bobby with The Profits? I actually like that dynamic. To me, it’s something that made sense but how they executed it was just completely wrong. It was completely off base."
In the same interview, Alexander spoke about the idea of joining Lashley, Benjamin, and MVP in AEW as a member of The Hurt Syndicate and to read his comments, click here.
