MVP Profiled on CBS News with Katie Couric

WWE wrestler MVP was profiled on CBS's "Evening News with Katie Couric" tonight for a segment capturing the "American Spirit." The text of the news segment on MVP can be read on the CBS News website.

The story centered on MVP recently attending a conference in Washington, D.C. focused high-school drop-outs and how to help troubled teenagers. MVP talked about his own personal experiences with illegal activity before turning his life around.

"Crime does pay, it pays well, but what they don't tell you is you have to pay it all back with interest," MVP told CBS News. "Sometimes that's all kids need, just one person to look at them and say, 'man he's just like me. If he can do it, I can do it.' And that means a lot to me."

The CBS news story ran at the end of the broadcast tonight with a WWE logo featured in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen throughout the news piece.

The story included WWE footage and earlier wrestling footage from MVP's career, which included a plug for the Florida-based FIP promotion's website.

CBS News also posted video of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. talking about wrestling, MVP in the ring, and watching Raw when other NASCAR drivers guest-hosted the show.
