MVP with The Hurt Business

**Hassan Hamin Assad** (born **Alvin Antonio Burke Jr.**; October 28, 1973) is an American semi-retired professional wrestler and manager currently signed to WSC under the ring name **Montel Vontavious Porter** (shortens to **MVP**) and is the manager of Omos.

### The Hurt Business (2021)

During a match between The Shield and The Elite, The Hurt Business comes out to help The Elite. Kenny Omega sets up Roman Reigns for Bobby Lashley to Spear him, but Roman ducked, leaving Omega taking the Spear. Lashley, distraught of what happened, gets Superman Punched by Roman then finally pins Omega.

During a promo with The Shield, MVP sends out The Hurt Business to attack Shield, which by the end of it, leads Jon Moxley put through the floor and crushed with the Big Skull by Lashley. This sets up Shield Vs Hurt Business. This became a handicap match due to Moxley being injured. Shield was not doing well at all, until an ambulance comes out, and the driver is The Lunatic Fringe, which then makes the match even again. Overall, The Shield came out victorious when Roman Speared Lashley through the roof of a car backstage.

### Managing Omos (2023-present)

After 2 years of inactivity, MVP was seen backstage with Omos in a YouTube Short, which revealed that he is no longer in The Hurt Business.

### Personal Life

In August 2007, Assad was diagnosed with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome, a rare condition that causes the heart to beat faster than normal. The condition was discovered during his tenure with WWE, when he had undergone a routine check-up in accordance with WWE's Talent Wellness Policy, which otherwise would have gone undetected until it was too late.

Assad was friends with and worked bouncing clubs with the infamous street fighter Kimbo Slice in Miami prior to making it as a wrestler. They remained friends well into both of their careers and until Kimbo’s death.

Assad has acquired numerous tattoos through his life, including a portrait of Malcolm X on the upper left portion of his chest, the sarcophagus of King Tut and the pyramids on his left upper biceps, the words "Monte Cristo" with the phrase "the best revenge is living well" in script on his right forearm (both references to the book *The Count of Monte Cristo*), the Eye of Horus on the back of his left arm, and a star on his right shoulder. He also has a number of homemade gang-related tattoos that he had done when he was a teenager.

Assad has stated that he was a video game fan growing up, and that the finishing maneuver he used on the independent circuit, the *Malicious Intent*, was inspired by a similar move performed by Eddy Gordo from the *Tekken* series. He has been a fan of Manchester United FC since he was 13, naming Eric Cantona as his favorite player. Despite his earlier conversion to Islam, he has since described himself as an atheist and "infidel".

Assad practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu, in which he gained the rank of purple belt after winning the gold medal at the Houston Open in the Masters 3 Ultra Heavyweight Division. He also won gold in the Open Division at the Houston Open, and silver at the IBJJF Masters World Championship in the Masters 4/Male/Purple/Ultra-Heavy Category. On December 2020, he won a gold medal at the IBJJF Masters World Championship in the Masters 4/Male/Purple/Ultra-Heavy Category, and was promoted to brown belt at the medal presentation.
