When you get a invitation from The Hurt Syndicate, you take it seriously.
Since arriving in AEW, MVP has been aggressively recruiting new stars to join Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin in The Hurt Syndicate. As of publish time, stars like Ricochet and Swerve Strickland have turned down the offer to join the group.
While speaking with Fightful for a recent interview, Bobby Lashley was asked about adding to the group. In response, Lashley talked about the importance of MVP's business card, comparing it to a golden ticket from the Willy Wonka movies.
"Oh boy. I do not know. We are taking applications right now. I said that we were gonna put something on it Indeed because a lot of people have been wanting to join. When we first came to AEW, we kind of extended the invitation out to a couple guys and they just didn't understand the magnitude of that invitation. That was like when you watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and you got the gold ticket? When you watch anything where you have the opportunity to have that gold ticket that ticket to stardom that winning lottery ticket, that's what it was getting that that card from MVP. At this point we're gonna pull it back. We're gonna let people start fighting for it and we're gonna find that last person. ‘Cause we're looking for one person. So we're gonna let everybody kind of fight for it and then when we find the right person, then that person is going to have his ticket to stardom."
