@@Zoogleashey mate. I’m not hater. Loved the business back then and especially in the 90’s. But the honest answer is nutrition and plenty of jabs. And I’m definitely not hating. I completely understand!
Your selling of Austin's Mule Kick was absolutely picture perfect lol. The fact, the grabbing your balls, and then falling over like a dead body in rigamortus was just hilarious. Not to mention selling of the stunner was beautiful too.
Seeing the Tough Enough footage, I was thinking it would be an awesome video to try and arrange a Tough Enough season 1 reunion with Chris and Josh and the others. Hearing all of you break down and discuss what you were thinking at the time would be awesome.
He said its an easy move to take but recently wrestlers would land on their side taking the F5 making it look not as devastating when i think of the F5 i think of the one Maven took
@@iamgodspeed6443why? bumps are the first things you learn (i went to a wrestling school when i was around 12, i wasn’t allowed to learn the moves or take bumps but i learned chain wrestling, and they told me and my parents that bumps would be the next step when i’m of legal age.).

@@ThatZidaneGuy, I've read that a fair amount of animations are based on Maven's sells, and it checks out. He's made much more of an impact than most would realize with how real he'd been.

Maven , in all seriousness i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤ You might not know this but you are actually my favorite wrestler, i remember, i was at high school, watching WWE, smacked down, Raw, I remember all my friends loved the show it push me to be better person. You actually help many kids , at my school i took the bus , i had a family yet all kids in Bus, went to foster home group home kids with no families no mom no dad, and i remember all kids talk about you , and it made me like you thay much more thank you. It really help my friends I remember tgey talker about the show I love watching when it aired. But I got into wrestling because of them and because of them I got to cheer for you. May the lord bless you and love you. ❤ I'm still you're fan , and love watching your TH-cam series, it helps me through my days at work, and helps me in my days in life. I love you thanks for making my childhood the best!!! ❤
Could you do a video discussing what WWE producers do in terms of putting matches together? Like, if producers have certain trademarks that we might be able to spot (Dusty finish, etc), and what input wrestlers can have on how matches are put together? Maybe a touch on the cinematography and camera work? Top stuff as always Maven. Love ya.
Top 5 moments of Maven ranked for me personally : 1 Undertaker Elimination 2 Wrestling Triple H for WHC on Heat 3 New Years Revolution Promo 4 Heel turn on Eugene 5 Survivor Series spot with Snitsky Honestly wished things could have went better for you brotha. I remember as a little kid watching you even though i was a huge SmackDown mark 😂 Telling my mom I hope you beat Shelton for the IC title. Love the progress of the channel! been here since the first video. Stay blessed and God bless
My family started watching WWF in 1997 and quit around 06. When Stone Cold came out it was the loudest place ever and it is still unmatched to this day. Absolutely a legend.
Gotta tell you... i was an 80s/90s kid. My Uncle, 11 years older than me, who has some pretty severe disabilities, was ALL OVER watching WWF. I loved watching with him. Taker, the ultimate warrior, legion of doom, hacksaw... such great, great memories. Your videos have brought so much of that back for me. I had pretty much stopped watching in 96 when i joined the military. Watching your videos makes me wish i would have continued watching. Thank you for making these videos. Keep it up, stud!
Thank you Maven for taking us back to the past. I always feel nostalgic whenever i watch your videos. I wish you could've stayed in wwe and be recognized as the other Superstar.
Maven you’re the real deal bro, so humble, it honestly makes me want to be a better person, you speak a lot of wisdom and share a lot of stories of wrestlers who people would think are assholes but are actually humble and have all these wholesome moments backstage.
You would actually be a great on camera "breakdown" personality for the WWE or ESPN. Im learning english and you speak very coherently and have a good clean look.
@MavenKHuffman Hey thanks Maven! Yeah I was skinny teenager in Ireland back then and had just gotten into weights.. No cable TV, Internet so my best motivation was that 1hr WWF programme that got me fired up! Your content here is amazing. 😊🙏👍 Amazing insights into life as a U.S. professional wrestler!
I'm obsessed with your videos! Totally missed out on your run on WWE, because I only came to Wrestling around 2008. It's incredible to see someone basically coming from a reality show having such memorable moments with the guys we consider the greatest in the business. Maybe you yourself are greater than you'd like to admit.
I was there for the raw segment with Stone Cold. My mum got tickets and a plane trip all the way from England to Los Angeles for me to see that raw episode for my 12th birthday. Its genuinely one of the defining moments of my childhood and probably the best birthday present i ever got. Funnily, i was in the toilet when stone cold made his entrance, and the glass break and pop was so loud i heard it from where i was peeing. Safe to say i did not wash my hands, and ran back pretty much still in mid flow lol. It was the best part of the show -- and you are right then when stone cold was in the ring everything was just different. He was my hero at that time, and i didn't know he would be making an appearance, i was stoked as hell.
Sir I used to watch wrestling every chance I got, with my brother. I remember watching your matches. You were great. I haven’t watched wrestling in a very long time. But I found your videos, and I am hooked. You are so POSITIVE it’s contagious. I admire that a lot. And I’ve learned a ton that I didn’t know about wrestling. Just wanted you to know your videos are really helping me out of a really dark time right now
Sold that stunner like The Rock, truly top tier. I never fully appreciated your in ring days but seeing them now with you on playback opens an all new appreciation.
Remember when Josh hosted RAW for the first time and his nose exploded in a massive nerves-inspired nosebleed four seconds into the broadcast? Yeah, youtube needs that clip.
Great stuff as always MAV!! Man I miss getting to watch you wrestle.... from your journey thru tough enough to winning it all..until your last match I always looked forward to seeing you on the card. Not to get in the feelers.. but I was going thru some stuff back then and you always gave me an escape. Your a talent that deserved a much longer run!! Your a great inspiration of trails and tribulations.. so thank you. Good shi man.
Thank you for the memories of our childhoods and the ones you create here as well! On a personal note, I suffer from depression and your videos have been my daily therapy, so thanks for your content too! You never know what may save lives!
Without a doubt one of my favorite TH-cam channels. I just love these behind the scenes, tell it how it is videos. You are giving wrestling fans of your generation such an amazing look
Speaking of crowd control. I once saw Corey Taylor of Slipknot tell a crowd of around 90,000 at Download Festival here in England to take 2 steps back, and the crowd did it. Turns out the barrier at the front had collapsed, and people were piling through. Everyone stops immediately and just obeys given the right person asks.
I'm pretty sure he was the first to take a chokeslam from The Undertaker and the first to take a cross body from Bruno Sammartini. Heck, I believe there's a video of him taking a suplex from Abrham Lincoln back in the day
I was a fan in the early nineties as a kid and then again in high school. 2001 I went to college and stopped watching for most of that decade. This video makes me realize how much stuff I missed and how I wish I could have watched it live.
I always love how you break down your moments in your career…..you never fail to say what you could’ve done better….was always a fan of you and thought when you turned heel in 2004 I thought you were gonna win the ic title lol but great video like always
You were the first person on TV to take the f5. Spike funkaki and a couple other people took it in dark matches when he was first coming up that are available on youtube. But the F5 his first 6 months was amazing. He absolutely launched you and so many other guys. That's one of my favorite moves to take. But every once in a while you eat shit on it and it hurts. Haha but Brock used to just fucking throw people and spin them so much and now he basically just throws them up over his head and drops them straight down and it looks like shit
Wow I actually remember watching this. I was so happy when Stone Cold gave both you guys the stunner. And I knew it was gonna happen the moment Austin got beer spilled on him. I remembering saying out loud "awe hell, they done goofed". But watching it back with you, I have a whole new appreciation of your role in the whole skit.
Maven, just want to say I appreciate the stories you tell about your career, as big wrestling fan it always makes me smile seeing wrestlers from the past share there incredible stories what it's like being a wwe wrestler, keep up the good work.
This was fun, Mave! Between you and me, and everyone who reads these, I never cared for Brock. Yes, he’s able, mean looking dude, I personally found his character to be boring.
your videos are so awesome, maven. id love to see you break into a show similar to the undertaker at some point. i think youd do a great job. keep it up regardless man
Few ideas for videos How finishers are chosen or assigned How gimmicks and gear are chosen or assigned How entrance themes are chosen or assigned. Always wondered about those things. Love this channel!
I think @WWE should make you part of the commentary crew. Your content is very interesting and informative. If I had one suggestion I would suggest more then one video of the week. I'm always looking forward to Friday to see what you posted. Keep it up bro! We love it!!!
Hunter was accurate in describing what the business requires from you. I know that the mindset within the company has become more friendly towards new athletes. Which is really good because they tell you upfront what you need but they don't try to make it sound impossible at the same time. WWE is way healthier internally than when Maven was there for sure.
I have always loved Maven. I still remember watching Tuff Snuff when it was on the air. I would love to see you back in the WWE is some instance. When people tell me anout your channel i say listen here youngin i Knew Maven before he was TH-camr Maven. Proud of what youve made. Congratz.
Triple H had definitely looked at you with every comment about getting laid because you have that sort of atmosphere which others there hadn't which he could tell that you're handsome and articulate and likely to make it and marks would be drawn to you in attraction. He was very right. He'd seemed to hope that you wouldn't grow an ego, and had checked you at the gate. It would be amazing for you to have him on the channel, when he has time for it!
@@MavenKHuffman, definitely. He's making so many awesome changes to the company which have been a long time coming, and after this past Wrestlemania being such a major event even by 'mania standards, his workload has to be at an all-time high. Still, if you can catch him in the right timeframe like Logan Paul, you're at a great trajectory for views to be as worthwhile as shooting with an old student of The Game, it's possible. From that episode of Tough Enough to him loaning you ring boots and the Evolution offer storyline and other anecdotes which you have in the Maven Information Vault to he being WWE Head of Creative and you being one of the top wrestling content creators, it's one hell of a path, and top booking. He's really there for the best. Many all-time 🐐s will come, and I have a feeling that he's one.
I know it probably isn't worth making an entire video about, but one of my fondest memories from the era you wrestled was the energy that Lilian Garcia put into announcing your name every time you stepped into the ring. Did you have much interaction with the ring announcers to talk about how they would introduce you during your entrance?
Maven, you lived the dream even if it wasn't long lived my man. 3 things I would like before I die, to be stone cold stunnered, undertaker tombstoned and Kane chokeslammed. If Rowdy Roddy was still around I would just want him to berate me for 5 minutes.
This is actually for some reason one of those random segments that I just always remembered, and fondly at that. You guys were perfect cannon fodder for a prime rattlesnake.
PS, I find myself at FSW in Las Vegas semi-regularly. IIRC, you are up on one of those posters hanging on the rafters. Correct me if I am wrong. I've met a lot of really great and dedicated people there.
Maven needs to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and also work with the WWE come on it deserves it this is one of the best channels on TH-cam please keep making incredible videos Big fan from Nicaragua
He shouldn't be in the HoF but as a backstage interviewer or commentator he would likely be HoF material provided he worked long enough. They really should hire him.

2 Wrestling Triple H for WHC on Heat
3 New Years Revolution Promo
4 Heel turn on Eugene
5 Survivor Series spot with Snitsky

Wow I actually remember watching this. I was so happy when Stone Cold gave both you guys the stunner. And I knew it was gonna happen the moment Austin got beer spilled on him. I remembering saying out loud "awe hell, they done goofed". But watching it back with you, I have a whole new appreciation of your role in the whole skit.
His most iconic moment is his Theme song AROUND THE STARS
So excited to see maven's video. Always thrills to learn from his experience
That was a damn good sell of that stunner Maven.
🙏🏽 I was (and still am) just happy to take it.
@@MavenKHuffman Good man!
Maven, just want to say I appreciate the stories you tell about your career, as big wrestling fan it always makes me smile seeing wrestlers from the past share there incredible stories what it's like being a wwe wrestler, keep up the good work.
Maven would make a great manager or commentator for Ppv events in current day wwe.
I enjoy your channel Maven. You help bring back my attitude Era childhood.
This was fun, Mave! Between you and me, and everyone who reads these, I never cared for Brock. Yes, he’s able, mean looking dude, I personally found his character to be boring.
I love watching these videos of you first entering wwe. It feels like I’m watching a real live my player 😂
@16:20 " you know me you saw me at catering!" 💀💀💀
your videos are so awesome, maven. id love to see you break into a show similar to the undertaker at some point. i think youd do a great job. keep it up regardless man
The man the myth the legend
Mavin, I love you brother and wish you all the best. Watching you commentate on this was fantastic. Been waiting on it for a while.
Maven, Could you share some stories of your TNA Run?? Btw, Big Fan of Your Content from India 🇮🇳
Few ideas for videos
How finishers are chosen or assigned
How gimmicks and gear are chosen or assigned
How entrance themes are chosen or assigned.
Always wondered about those things.
Love this channel!
That was a beautiful F5 bump
I think @WWE should make you part of the commentary crew. Your content is very interesting and informative. If I had one suggestion I would suggest more then one video of the week. I'm always looking forward to Friday to see what you posted. Keep it up bro! We love it!!!
Hunter was accurate in describing what the business requires from you. I know that the mindset within the company has become more friendly towards new athletes. Which is really good because they tell you upfront what you need but they don't try to make it sound impossible at the same time. WWE is way healthier internally than when Maven was there for sure.
They got soft.
I have always loved Maven. I still remember watching Tuff Snuff when it was on the air. I would love to see you back in the WWE is some instance. When people tell me anout your channel i say listen here youngin i Knew Maven before he was TH-camr Maven. Proud of what youve made. Congratz.
Triple H had definitely looked at you with every comment about getting laid because you have that sort of atmosphere which others there hadn't which he could tell that you're handsome and articulate and likely to make it and marks would be drawn to you in attraction. He was very right. He'd seemed to hope that you wouldn't grow an ego, and had checked you at the gate. It would be amazing for you to have him on the channel, when he has time for it!
Ohhh I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to sit down with Hunter on here. I doubt he could with his current position and schedule
@@MavenKHuffman, definitely. He's making so many awesome changes to the company which have been a long time coming, and after this past Wrestlemania being such a major event even by 'mania standards, his workload has to be at an all-time high. Still, if you can catch him in the right timeframe like Logan Paul, you're at a great trajectory for views to be as worthwhile as shooting with an old student of The Game, it's possible. From that episode of Tough Enough to him loaning you ring boots and the Evolution offer storyline and other anecdotes which you have in the Maven Information Vault to he being WWE Head of Creative and you being one of the top wrestling content creators, it's one hell of a path, and top booking. He's really there for the best. Many all-time 🐐s will come, and I have a feeling that he's one.
Honestly maven you had fun during your time in wwe that’s what matters,love the videos
1:29 - I didn't know Josh Matthews tried out as a wrestler. I always thought he was always just backstage interviewer or a commentator.
He ended up getting injured in training and they liked him so much they kept him on as a commentator/ interviewer
That's not a good idea, Mr White.
Josh was one of the best ones there.
Thank you for doing these videos, Maven.
I enjoy the heck out of them!
And here having more iconic moments today!
We are NOT going to ignore the fact THAT MAVEN LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE a younger version of actor BILLY ZANE 😂 "COME OUT EVERYBODY IT'S TIME TO PLAY".
I know it probably isn't worth making an entire video about, but one of my fondest memories from the era you wrestled was the energy that Lilian Garcia put into announcing your name every time you stepped into the ring. Did you have much interaction with the ring announcers to talk about how they would introduce you during your entrance?
This is definitely worth exploring!!!
Love your videos. Your definitely a main event human being!
Maven, you lived the dream even if it wasn't long lived my man. 3 things I would like before I die, to be stone cold stunnered, undertaker tombstoned and Kane chokeslammed. If Rowdy Roddy was still around I would just want him to berate me for 5 minutes.
This is actually for some reason one of those random segments that I just always remembered, and fondly at that. You guys were perfect cannon fodder for a prime rattlesnake.
Lets go Maven!! You were such an underrated superstar, always love listening to you recap your career.
Thanks for welcoming us behind the curtain with this series!
PS, I find myself at FSW in Las Vegas semi-regularly. IIRC, you are up on one of those posters hanging on the rafters. Correct me if I am wrong. I've met a lot of really great and dedicated people there.
Maven needs to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and also work with the WWE come on it deserves it this is one of the best channels on TH-cam please keep making incredible videos Big fan from Nicaragua
He shouldn't be in the HoF but as a backstage interviewer or commentator he would likely be HoF material provided he worked long enough. They really should hire him.
The smile you had talking about stone cold talking shit to you and Simon is the happiness im striving for lol
01:03 Iconic Moment #1: Triple H and the angriest gum chewing in WWE history.
That's my goat!
