#6. Hope isn't true: MVP has his last match against Drew McIntyre?

Dave Meltzer revealed on the Wrestling Observer Radio that MVP's match against Drew McIntyre may have just been his last. As you may know, the former United States Champion has recently taken a role as a producer backstage:

So he (MVP) said that Drew beat him with a cheap shot and he's going to beat him head to head. He hits him over the head with a cheap shot with the microphone and gives him a running kick but obviously, Drew is not going to be selling long for MVP and he ripped off his tape on his nose, which is in fact, the idea of, that's the end of his wrestling career because the tape on his nose is his gimmick. And then he gave him the Future Shock DDT and a Claymore kick and it was over. So, just a quick match and there you go.

The reason we hope this isn't true is that MVP can still be used as an occasional enhancement talent. While he's certainly earned his retirement, perhaps more could have been made of it. Then again, Drew McIntyre can claim to be the one to technically "retire" MVP.
