* FanNickname: Before being established as the foundation for what later became the Beat Down Clan, the trio of MVP, Lashley and King had garnered names with traction such as "Black Wrestling/{{Evolution}}", "Wrestling/{{The Nation of|Domination}} Evolution", and the "[[FunWithAcronyms MLK]] [[UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement Alliance]]". For what it's worth, MVP made it clear on Twitter that he had no interest in making the three men's race the main focus of their motivations, but when approached with the last option he found it much more appealing than the previous two as it cleverly played to their names as opposed to adding "TNA copies WWE lol" on top of the racial connotations.

** Before that was a theme he used in both WWE (as "VIP Ballin'") and NJPW (as "Most Valiantly Person", complete with Franchise/{{Godzilla}} roaring intro).
** Then there's "The Anthem" by him and Jess Jamez, the theme song for the Beat Down Clan.
