Posted: Apr 3rd 2026 By: Shounak Chakribarti

Two documentary projects involving AEW’s MVP are on their way.

Recently, Deadline published a report that detailed a couple of upcoming scripted & unscripted film projects involving MVP.

As per the report, Damian Abraham, known for his work as frontman of the band F***ed Up as well as Vice’s The Wrestlers, will be teaming up with CBC producer Zach Feldberg to launch Cut & Paste Pictures out of Toronto, Canada. Where they will be pushing out scripted, unscripted, and documentary projects.

Cut & Paste is currently in the pre-production stage on a feature-length documentary about the lifelong friendship between Rise Against guitarist Zach Blair and pro-wrestler and manager Hassan Hamid Assad, aka MVP. The project is set to be directed by Scott Barber. Production is scheduled to begin this summer in and around Texas, where both MVP and Blair are based.

On the unscripted side is the series Exit Strategy, which explores the post-prison life of AEW’s MVP. The Hurt Syndicate’s manager was sentenced to 18 and a half years behind bars for armed robbery and kidnapping, of which he served nine and a half years starting at age 16.

Following his release from prison, MVP became a full-time wrestler and transformed himself into one of the most popular names across WWE, TNA, and AEW.
