MVP Became A Gym Rat Whilst In Jail, Rey Mysterio In The UK
- In a recent interview with the Brisbane Times WWE wrestler MVP said whilst in jail for 9 years (due to to robbery and kidnapping) he kept out of trouble by staying in the gym:
“It was at work release where I became a gym rat … I was what they call ‘permanent party’ so I couldn’t leave the work release facility, I worked in the kitchen, so all I did was eat and work out.”
“When I got to work release I was 207 pounds (93 kilograms) and by the time I got transferred … I was 245 pounds (111kg).”
During the work release program, MVP was approached by wrestler “Primetime” Darryl D, who, upon MVP’s release, gave him the opportunity to train with another wrestler, “Soul man” Alex G.
- Rey Mysterio is in the UK today doing promotional work for the Night of Champions event. He was featured on Sky Sports answering fan questions among other things. He is expected to return any time now.
