SouthernWorldwide.com – AEW star MVP is bringing his extensive knowledge and genuine passion for professional wrestling to the new social media platform, BZZR.
MVP, whose real name is Hassan Hamin Assad, has been a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2024. He has served as the manager and spokesperson for wrestlers Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin during their time with the company.
Now, MVP is leveraging his impressive mic skills and unique perspective beyond the wrestling ring. He has launched a new podcast and show titled “Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze,” which will initially be released on BZZR every Friday. The episodes will later be made available on YouTube.
BZZR is a burgeoning social media platform aiming to connect sports enthusiasts and eliminate the clutter often found on other online spaces. It promises a focused environment for sports content.

“It’s a mutual partnership,” MVP explained. “BZZR is a new platform where content creators can get online and share content, talk about sports – all sports, no noise. It’s a great opportunity for a lot of people.”
He elaborated on the benefits of this collaboration, stating, “For me, my YouTube show that’s also a podcast, we just reached our first year. The partnership with BZZR will hopefully allow both of us to grow our audience. It’s a beneficial relationship for both of us.”
MVP expressed his enthusiasm for his role on the platform, particularly given his deep expertise in his chosen field. “It’s professional wrestling, which I’m a bit of an expert on. It’s an honor to be given the opportunity to be the wrestling outlet on the platform.”
When conceptualizing the show’s presentation, MVP aimed to mirror the sophisticated and exclusive vibe of his wrestling persona. He envisioned a speakeasy setting, complete with a VIP lounge, to create an immersive and high-end atmosphere.
Since its inception a year ago, MVP and his co-host, Dwayne Swayze, have cultivated a dedicated following, exceeding 10,000 subscribers, with their audience continuing to expand.
“It’s kinda funny just to show my age,” MVP reflected. “When I first started ‘Marking out with MVP and Dwayne Swayze,’ my idea was to create a YouTube show. I wanted to create a show and it’s visual because we shoot at a speakeasy 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, luxurious, high end.”
He recounted an amusing anecdote about the initial reception of his show. “When I started it, I had people coming up saying, ‘Oh, congratulations on the podcast, congratulations on the podcast.’ And I said, I don’t have a podcast, I have a YouTube show.”
This experience led him to a realization about the evolving media landscape. “Only to learn, in this day and age, everything is a podcast. And I said, wait a minute, the whole term ‘podcast’ comes from iPod. It’s not a – OK, all right, it’s a podcast, sure. But it’s a YouTube show and it’s meant to be watched. You can listen to it. It has an audio aspect, of course. But visually, I enjoy the fact that we’re putting on a show, a weekly show.”
MVP specifically credited BZZR for its commitment to empowering content creators. He believes the platform fosters an environment where individuals can truly express their authentic selves.
“I think that’s the primary difference,” he concluded, highlighting BZZR’s unique appeal in the crowded social media space.
