I Went Off Script During a WWE Match

- WWE matches are predetermined, but wrestlers do a lot of improvisation while in the ring. During one of my matches, my opponent improvised and did something that forced me to go off script. I share what he did and what I did to him in this video.

Thanks for watching the video and hearing my story. After hearing my explanation, do you agree with what I did?
loving these videos , thank you for sharing :) .
The clothesline was more devastating than Bradshaw's 😂
Another excellent upload
Yes, definitely.
Yes stuff happens in the mix of time
"I took control of the match," Maven describing his attempted murder via clothesline...
"I wasn't stiff with those fists --"
No. But that clothesline certainly was.
😂
Do not cross Maven. Snitsky found out about that the hard way in that one match...
😂😂😂
@@CellGames2006i guess it was his fault
the "old school" guys would've stiffed Masada after that. Kudos to you for trying to make it a teaching moment rather than stiff him.
And not once. He would’ve had more receipts than a suspicious girlfriend.
Ba-Dum-Tss
I dont know... that clothesline sounded pretty nasty to me!
Try that cover on JBL and he would end up in the ER
@@Unholychaos987 To me it looks like he turned enough that is was more of a takedown than a clothesline.
@@Benson7290 Or Hardcore Holly lol
Love the psychology of storytelling you provide!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@MavenKHuffman🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's an old school response. Hell yeah. You also weren't even down for a one count, and your competitor did a one foot cover, and was completely relaxed when you gave him a clothesline. That exposed the business. You did the right thing, absolutely.
How does this expose the business? I thought this was kind of a cool spot
@@AndiBraun93You need glasses if you cant see it
Could easily kayfabe explain that the veteran can steamroll the jobber if pushed to 100%@@spacequack5470
@@spacequack5470I think the cats already out of the bag on that one.
he didnt expose anythuing lol everyone has known forever that wwe is scripted
The Dreamville shirt tho? Man of culture 🔥

good thing masada wasn’t wrestling bob holly
Oh man, he would have buried him 😦
Bob would have literally killed him
@@princenoreallyyeah we would have witnessed a murder 😮 it is hardcore holly after all
They'd still be scraping his remains off the ring floor right now.
I don’t think he’d be stupid enough to step on Bob Holly.
If anything, its a good thing Masada was facing you and not someone who might have been more willing to go further into potentially unacceptable territory.
Masada is a tough guy. I think he would have been fine.
Imagine him doing this to Jamal (aka Umaga)
Hardcore Holly, JBL, Ron Simmons, or even Eddie Guerrero would've KILLED him for that.
@@JCarlito19 Egomaniacs running wild in WWE
@@thefiendish186not ego maniacs it's the part of the culture u never do something like that to some one higher up on the latter or even at the same level unless you both planned it
One of the BEST channels I've come across in the past year. Love from 🇨🇦
I haven't watched wrestling in twenty years but somehow ran across your channel. I've been glued to it ever since. You were meant to be on TH-cam, Maven. Thank you for creating a positive community and bringing us together to support charities as well. Wishing you all the best. 💙
You missed so much in 20 years. That’s crazy.
@@Kevmaster2000I haven’t watched wrestling since I was a kid at the height of Hulkamania and I’ve been digging the channel. As an adult, wrestling doesn’t interest me… but this bts look is interesting
@@Akkbar21you missed a shit ton of crazy shit including someone called Chris Benoit which he eventually died via suicide
Same here. I loved the attitude era but then stopped. Watching all this new talent is interesting
Knowing some of Masadas work I thought that it was because of him either being too stiff or he took some liberties (thing that has happened A LOT on his matches)...but like you said Maven, something as simple as that it means much, MUCH more in the bigger picture. Awesome video as always, greetings from Uruguay!!
Same here. But it's good to know, even though he's done a lot of deathmatch stuff, Masada at least knows how to not work stiff.
Why dude never had a wwe contract
When did Masada take liberties besides stiffing the crap out of Spydar Boodrow for not knowing how to work?
I even once had a chance encounter with his ex wife. What she told me isn't publicly known, but it gave me a horrible insight into the kind of man he is.
That crowd is so hot for a Heat, you must have loved that.
i think it was before Raw so tis might be the first match of the night
@@ousmansano21was this supposed to be a dark match because I didn’t hear the commentators (I know a dark match is a non televised match)
@@Mowmauf If it was supposed to be a dark match they wouldn't have a cameraman going up the ramp with him. Also, I saw this match on TV.
The off script moment got a great pop too. I actually think it worked really well as storytelling- the heel looks like an asshole for trying a cocky pin, but Maven doesn't look weak because it doesn't even get a one count, and he leaps up and takes control.
Loving the behind the scenes insight you offer. Wrestling was my jam back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Not so much in the last couple decades, but I still really enjoy hearing these tales. 👍🏻
The mid 2000s to early 2010s was the GOAT. And now it’s really good again too.
@@Kevmaster2000Early 2010s? Now? It's sucked to me since 2005.
@Speedyreedy1218 it's the hottest it's been in a long time right now.
@DeckyStrikesBack I don't watch show to show. But I've kept up with what's happening through podcasts. Whenever the podcaster talks about "what's hot" and makes a recommendation of a segment, I look for the clip.
And still, I am bored, disappointed, and unimpressed by what you consider "is the hottest It's been in a long time. "
@@Speedyreedy1218 ah yes. Listening to podcasts....the best way to watch wrestling!
You've said it before, everything in wrestling is about Respect. That's the main 'currency' you have and the only thing someone else can increase or diminish as a result of their actions. Whether intentional or not, you were disrespected, lowering your perceived status. Having the wherewithal to push back against that was 100% necessary given those circumstances. You had to show that you weren't going to sit there and take it.
And still someones who beahaved as disrespectful as you can imagine in Japan, while the Internet was watching what he did, got a job as a wrestler in that very company. So I guess respects only goes as far as the boss says "I don't care". Not saying that showing respect should go out of the window. I just say it seems there are double standards going on, at least in WWE, with those respect rules.
It's just petty bullying isn't it.
Okay but the guy was trying to make a name for himself. It’s his one shot. Is he supposed to just be uneventful and non-memorable?
@@benizjammmin He's supposed to not try to make himself look better than someone who actually works for the company he was trying out for. Sure, he needs to look like he can work, but at the end of the day he was there to job for Maven, and you don't do that by pinning someone with your boot.
I am so glad you have a YT channel that shows the things that are kinda behind the scenes of wrestling since I grew up watched wrestling in late 90’s on VHS tapes but I really started watching wrestling in 2013 or 2014
Bro u are so respectful, and how you explained every part of the match and how you handle things on and off the the ring is pure sportsmanship mad respect for you 👊
Thanks for the vid Maven. You lived the dream that a lot of us had as kids and really appreciate you sharing your story. Your channel has gotten me back into wrestling.
Bro, your videos are gold.
Facts.
no one asked you.
100%
Hey Maven, I just wanted you to know that you are a GREAT charismatic speaker. Man, you can make anyone feel the emotions you want them to feel with any inflection of your voice. It’s stunning and I take notes of it as I speak publicly or personally to people. Thanks!!
Honestly I would love to see more videos like this where you analyze and explain what’s going on in your matches. I think it’s very cool seeing the process of how matches are broken down and how you improvise.
Great channel and even better shirt. I hope you never get tired of making videos cause they’re always top tier
It's Always Fun When Maven Talks. The Skill Of Story Telling That Maven Had Is Truly Magnificent
I think him being a former teacher, it’s just normal & natural for him. To stand in front of students, trying to explain everything in full detail so they can understand & comprehend, translates the same as in his videos.
Maven, I've never watched WWE in my life but the way you present everything is so entertaining that I watch every video!
Love watching ur videos maven ! Always interesting ! Keep it up.
I used to love wrestling as a kid I'm 30 now , listening to you talk about this sport has made me appreciate the art of it . Great stuff
haven't watch WWE for years but watchin it with you explaining makes me watch it again. thanks MAVEN! appreciate it man!
I am always fascinated by maven's story, Whether it being a good or a bad occasions. It's quite a journey to be a wrestler in general and you explain it very well.
Maven wearing a Dreamville T is the collab I never thought I'd see.
Man, at this point, I want to hear whatever Maven wants to say. If I'm not wrong, this channel has become one of the amazing things after Attitude era. Mr. Maven, I must really acknowledge your amazing narrating ability. God bless you and stay healthy.
I love watching your videos, even small matches like this get 10 minute videos because of what people can learn as aspiring wrestlers. Keep doing what you're doing, love from UK
I’m not gon lie I grew up on ruthless aggression and growing up I wasn’t the biggest maven fan. But his TH-cam grind has been very interesting. Been watching a lot of his videos. Keep it up dude
This is a breath of fresh air in contrast to all the bruised ego beat downs and revenge plots we hear about on here. Thank you.
Love your videos. I love that you have that inside perspective that you can convey like a down to earth dude, without the baggage of still having to toe the company line. Keep up the good work! 👍
My man got rocked with that clothesline lol 2:43 . This is the kinda content we never knew we needed. Great video Maven
Yea so many people are saying he did it the nice way. He totally stiffed Masada as he should’ve.
Love seeing these types of breakdowns Maven
Loving these behind the scenes takes on the life of a WWE Wrestler. Keep them coming Mave.
Man i love your channel maven hands down one of the best channels out here. You've opened the doors and opened the behind the scenes to us die hard wrestling fans. Please keep it up
The way you popped up reminded me of Triple H popping up to attack a Fan who just attacked Stone Cold in the match. Very well done!
He did that when a fan tried to get Linda too.
The ref got in that squabble too!
@@magillagorilla57 After HHH already had it under control.
@@magillagorilla57 Heheh, yeah he did. It was pretty funny.
truly fascinating insight into WWE culture. Small moments like this are how you keep your spot and keep it fresh. thanks for explaining. cool.
Pretty cool behind the scenes explanation, and nice to get a play by play of 1 of your matches. Keep up the good work.
Maven, everyone who grew up during the attitude/ruthless era are so thrilled to see that you are doing well and good. Keep making the youtubes, you are a treasure to professional wrestling :D
you did the right thing dude... thanks for letting us know what happens backstage in the fascinating wrestling world...
You always make my Friday nights before going back into work the best, thank you maven.
👍🏽🙏🏽
I used to be all about WWE. It was a big part of my teen years. I graduated high school in 2002. After I graduated I moved out of the house and started doing adult life. Wrestling fell off, or it wasn't really a priority for me anymore. So I'm sad to say I didn't really see you wrestle in your prime years. But I'll tell ya that your channel has me hooked! You seem like a genuine dude and you're a great story teller! Keep up the good work!
I love these videos from you Maven. Definitely very articulate & expressive with your words while storytelling!
Love this content Maven. My favourite channel on TH-cam at the moment.
I went on a maven video binge 😳 thanks man I love your positive vibes and the way you describe everything
Love hearing you talk thru the backstage stuff Maven. Keep up love seeing you succeed
I used to think the B-shows like Heat and Velocity were where talent had a bit more leeway and creative freedom. Interesting to know the producers/road agents also had that stuff held down to the last minute detail, or at least that's the vibe I'm getting from this. Then again, this was just a couple of years after the Perry Saturn/Mike Bell incident on Metal so I'd imagine they'd had to have stepped up the control either way.
I always enjoyed watching heat and velocity for that reason very occasionally you would get a big time angle or championship match
It probably depends a bit on what sort of match it is. If its between two signed talents, its a bit different. When you got tryout guys... you need to script it because hell, even when you do something like this can happen. What flies in an Indy doesn't fly in a show that going out on TV to be part of continuity on a bigger show.
I couldn't help but LMAO at the reactionary clothesline to the situation. I don't think it was "Stiff" per say, but there was enough mustard on that clothesline that Maven's opponent was going down no matter what. I agree though that it was warranted
He has said that he has a temper, lol. Clothesline to teach the rookie, then take control. Simple as.
Per se*

Bro ngl your theme song gives me so much nostalgia I’m 29 and used to love wrestling used to think I would before I found bball 😂 you remind me of the love I had for it honestly. I’m a forever support 💯
Only came across your channel a few weeks ago & it’s become one of my go to channels.
Just wanna say I love your channel, I wrestled on the independents in Vegas back in 2002 to 2006 and even though it wasn't WWE level a lot of what you say is very relatable to my experience I started in my teens and had to go above and beyond just to prove myself and get respect and learn to stand up for myself because some of the guys could be mean AF lol my trainers were legends Nick Bockwinkle and Scott Casey they were tough but actually super nice guys and I was so honored to have trainers of that level.
Btw, one of my class mates at the Wrestling School was Kenny King from Tough Enough 2 lol right after the show ended he joined the school and that experience deserves a story time of itself 😂😂
First off. I love these videos. Thank you for taking the time out for your content.
Secondly. That i think was the first time i ever seen you actually pissed in any capacity.
I just wish you gave 100%. As you talked about prior. I was just like man this guy has talent and could go somewhere. Loved you as a kid watching. Now at 34 its pretty cool to see you make these videos and talk about REAL things.
Respect to you man. If you do see this i hope you have a great day or night.
Me too…. If old me could go back and slap some sense into young me!!!!!
@@MavenKHuffman We all have those moments. That "why did i do it this way when i could have done it that way" Im just happy for you that when youve matured you are able to talk about it. Its not easy for anyone. Especially something that big.
Thanks for this insightful video. It's awesome to hear your analysis of this match. There is just so much going on.
It brings a smile to my face how you appreciate every moment that you were in the WWE.
oooo! Heard that punch clear as day. Damn, man. You really laid into him.
Bro the crowd pop when your music comes on CLEARY shows how much people loved you dude you was and still are an amazing Talent 👏
love your channel Maven. I recently rewatched your season of Tuff Enough. Happy to see you still entertaining.
Love your channel. and so glad for your online success!
Masada was crazy in japan, so much cruel matches :D
Thank you for taking us with you in the gearings of this business, Maven, everything makes more sense when I hear about it
I stopped watching WWF/WWE before you joined but really enjoy your videos anyway. You have an interesting way of telling what you did in the business. You seem like a cool guy. Keep doing what you do you way you do it. Awesome videos 🤘
Thank you for everything you've done for us - the fans! Thank you for the memories!
I didn't know who you were and I'm not that big fan of WWE.
I saw some stuff in swedish TV long time ago but that's it.
For some reason your videos pop up and I have started to watch them.
I must say you seem to be a really decent guy and nice guy and I really enjoy your videos!
Nicely done Mr Maven.
Love it when you talk about your time working in the WWE, your videos are Fantastic Maven!
Love your work Maven! hope we get to see you in WWE TV soon enough.
That is a really good story. As I kid, I swore wrestling was not a scripted sport, because you all do such a great job. Thanks for giving these glimpses into how it all works. I truly enjoy every video you do.
The storylines might be fake, but the bumps definitely aren't. Never been a huge fan, but I do get it.
Undertaker had some good things to say about yalls royal rumble spot the other week and it immediately made me want a Maven Royal Rumble spot but you HAVE to eliminate a BIG name hahaha
Last night's stream was fantastic, thank you for doing it!
I still listen to your entrance music frequently. That song is legit, and I miss seeing you wrestle.
Best entrance theme song ever. Big Mother Thruster - Tattoo. One of the reasons I liked Maven since the tough enough days.
That's a crazy opinion.
This is what modern day wrestlers need more of, protecting your character, having some old school mentality and competitiveness. These days its a bit of a free for all
They need to protect legends' finishers too.
Agree
You have great ideas and do a phenomenal job of incorporating your wrestling experiences in a TH-cam format
Maven I just learned you’re an emu alumni. Don’t see many of us. Love the channel. Keep it up
I knew this what you were talkin about. I heard you mention it before. Great video dude 😂😂
And another thing I forgot how AMAZING your entrance music was WOW!
Thank you, Maven, for this channel. I have been a lifelong fan, to the point where I wanted to make it a career. One check-up at the doctor later I found it riskier than I anticipated lol. Anyway, these videos give a legit glimpse of what the life of a wrestler truly entails. I'm grateful for these snapshots of your wrestling journey, and I wish you continuous success.
this is some of the most unique wrestling content I've ever seen. Thanks Maven for bringing us this wonderful view of wrestling
He must be glad that he didn't try that with Perry Saturn ☕
Or Bob Holly.
P.S. Perry Saturn
Maven, I wanted to thank you for two notable things with your TH-cam channel. For one, I really enjoy how you break things down and explain how things happen in the match, and how things work behind the curtain as well. I also really like your method of explaining. I feel your teaching background shines through in that aspect. I recently started a job as a substitute teacher, and never really considered myself a "talker", but I had to learn quickly with this job. Your videos seem to help me figure that part out, as well. Maybe it's just because I'm more of an introvert at heart... but hey, we all can change ourselves, right? :>
Thanks for reading this!
Love watching your videos late at night it’s a vibe! Keep it up.
The politics in everything is crazy videos like this explaining ur psychology are phenomenal 🔥 interesting to be in the mind of a wrestler at that level
MAN I can't get enough Maven! Good stuff, as usual.
Thank you for your channel! Your years were my peak wrestling watching years! Watched it religiously! Still love wrestling and your channel is amazing! Keep up the great work!
Way to put over Masada, Maven!! Now I gotta look this guy up and see what he’s up to 😂😂😂
Probably on crack 😂
He's the current XPW Champion
Vice did a video on death matches years ago and Masada was one of the main guys
@@mtndewhero I saw that!
@@johnjohnbingbong yeah, I actually just watched that a couple days ago. I believe it was CZW he was apart of. Crazy business those folks are in. ☠️
I've only ever seen Maven in the ring a few times, but he seems to have Hall Of Fame levels of experience! Love him!
well you got another subscriber, been watching your videos for awhile and shared them with a friend if mine. your channel is awesome you make me feel like I actually know a WWE super star. super cool looking forward to your future videos you help make my 45 min drive to work something to look forward to
Damn i forgot about Masada in WWE. He is Ultraviolent Wrestling Legend
you are such a great story teller man i cannot believe none of the big promotions are utilizing your talent and ability to speak
I think Masada is a case in which an outsider tries to impress but just hasn't figured out how things work here. If he was gonna lose to Mave anyways, might as well make himself look better in the process. But he just didn't understand the game rules of WWE.
I remember watching this on TH-cam with my brother, and we laughed at how this man just clocked Masada 😂
Been really loving this channel so far.
And really like how kind and understanding of a person Maven seems to be
love the videos maven!!!! your story telling is like no other
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I enjoy Masada. I love watching him in CZW and GCW the past couple years. Wrestled a lot of my friends. Never knew he did a match in WWE
Maven has become one of my favorite wrestling content creator
Glad you talked about the Masada match. As a deathmatch fan it was a trip to hear he had a WWE match once
This is a cool channel, my first day watching some vids here, I'd heard somewhere Maven did not like talking or being asked about wrestling, whether that was false or he's changed his stance, I love seeing people embracing past roles/jobs and talking so positively and wholesomely about it even if it wasn't so great at times. If you can laugh and reflect on the past, it just does you good in the present and future. I will watch more.
I remember this match, I'd enjoyed Masada in ROH around this time so it was fun to see him in a WWE ring. Very interesting to hear this story, as a viewer I was completely unaware of the off script parts of it and it's fun to hear the full story from laying out the match to backstage after, I was left with no questions, very satisfying story. Thanks Maven.
I'm a proud Maven 🥜 hugger .
Fruity comment 🌈🤣🤣
Go unscripted again and crash the 2025 royal rumble you never got eliminated
What a great guy Maven is 🙌🏻 hope to see you soon in a WWE ring or as a manager in WWE my brother. It won't surprise me because you are getting tons of love for your youtube videos and hopefully WWE can notice that
