MVP told Fox News Digital in a recent interview that he’s hopeful that joining BZZR will allow his podcast’s audience to grow.

“It’s a mutual partnership. BZZR is a new platform where content creators can go online and share content, talk about sports, all sports, without the noise. This is a great opportunity for a lot of people,” he said. “But for me, my YouTube show, which is also a podcast, we’re just into its first year, I’m hopeful that our partnership with BZZR will allow us both to grow our audience. It’s a beneficial relationship for both of us. This is professional wrestling, which I kind of specialize in. It’s an honor to be given the opportunity to be the wrestling channel on the platform.”

MVP said he wanted the aesthetic of the show to be similar to a wrestling gimmick; In a comfortable environment with a VIP lounge and a special atmosphere.

She and Swayze have amassed more than 10,000 subscribers since the channel’s launch a year ago, and viewership is growing.

“It’s kind of funny showing my age. When I first started ‘going on the road with MVP and Dwayne Swayze,’ my idea was to create a YouTube show,” he said. “I wanted to create a show, and it’s a visual thing because we’re shooting in Houston with the bar and the aesthetic. The visual aesthetic was very important to me because the MVP brand is VIP, you know, VIP lounge, luxury, high-end.”

“When I started, there were people who were like, ‘Oh, congratulations on the podcast, congratulations on the podcast.’ So I said, I don’t have a podcast, I have a YouTube show. Just to find out, in this day and age, everything is a podcast. So I said, wait a minute, the whole term ‘podcast’ comes from the iPod. It’s a – OK, OK, it’s a podcast, of course. But it’s a YouTube show and it needs to be watched. You can listen. Of course there’s the audio aspect of it as well. But visually it does a weekly show.” I enjoy us being together.”

MVP stated that BZZR has the opportunity to give creators the ability to be their authentic selves.

“It’s a different platform that allows content creators… to put them out there in a way where they can be authentic, and you don’t have the same corporate overlords dictating who can say what and how,” he told Fox News Digital. “A variety of creators at different levels can join the platform, contribute, be seen and heard.
