October WWE Magazine Interview

Montel Vontavious Porter shoots on the fans, slams on The Rock, passes on the Power Rangers and tells us he'd really like to score with. By Jeremy Brown. You're the higest-paid free agent in history. How do main event Superstars like Batista, Edge and the Great Khali relate to that fact? Its never been brought up but if someone were to mention it to me, I'd say "Talk to your agent." Don't get mad at me because of my success, take it to the ring and I'll show you why I am the highest-paid Superstar. For Serious, do the "Power Ranger" Chants get to you? I look at it like this: I'm young, I'm exceptionally handsome, I'm rich, I'm a world class athlete performing on the grandest stage of all, and each one of those people out there would change places with me in a heartbeat. There's a reason why they're sitting in the seats while I'm standing in the ring. What's with all those matches against those so-called "champions", Who were you trying to fool? Listen, Many of my opponents have been champions in Mexico, Japan, Germany---All the world over. And i just wanted to show fans that i am capable from no where no matter how good they claim to be. After all I'm a world class athlete. Well now that you've faced these guys, are you ready to take on some of the heavy hitters on Smackdown!? What are you saying? That these world champions aren't as good as some of the guys on the Smackdown! Roster? You're saying that the Ethiopian champion, a man who litterally fights death every day, isn't as dangerous as Funaki? Are you worried that even as champion, fans still won't accept you? First of all, i worry about nothing. You might have worries but i don't. I take that back---my only worry is that my accountant will make a mistake and the IRS will pay me a visit. But for a man so consumed with image, doesn't it bug you that no one really digs you? Don't get me wrong, coming out of the box, expecting fans to embrace me when they didn't, I had to make a mental adjustment. I don't need their support. When I become world champion don't start cheering for me. If you didn't cheer for me at the beginning, don't cheer for me now So, with a World Championship possibly in your future... Did you just say "Possibly"? Think about who you're talking to. As journalists, we're just trying to be objective. Well objectively I can tell you you'll never win a Pulitzer, how about that? Fair Enough. Is there anyone on the roster you're afraid to face? Do you follow my career at all? I defeated Kane, one of the most devestating forces on the planet, he set me on fire, and i bounced back. it was me who busted the Undertaker open so that Mr. Kennedy could win his First Blood match. How many people can say they drawn the Undertaker's blood? That being said, if you could wrestle anyone in WWE History, who would it be? The Rock. He is a seven-time world-champion-turned-model-turned-magazine-cover-boy-turned-$20 million-a-picture-actor. If he still has the testicular fortitude to climb in the ring, then i would love to fight him.
