- Why do WWE wrestlers wipe their feet? Do WWE wrestlers get benefits? Do WWE wrestlers fight for real? Learn the answers to all of these questions from a former WWE wrestler.
Lets give it up for Maven's UA-cam partner who knows exactly what kind of content hits on UA-cam. Killing it with the thumbnails, video ideas, etc.
Maven's been killing it here, exactly what i was thinking
does he have any respect for the wrestling business? all he does is expose the business
@animal1nstinct394 depends on your definition of 'respect'.. IMO, breaking down the intricacies of anything with excitement shows not only a profound respect for it, but also shows a lingering passion that Maven has for wrestling. He isn't shooting on anyone or boisterously calling out aspects of the business, he's just matter-of-factly explaining everything.
@@animal1nstinct394you must hate AEW
TapOut Corner helped out Maven with everything. Thank them
So much respect for this guy admitting he did steroids instead of just lying about it.
The short answer is I absolutely did 😂
There really not even any shame in it, since it’s not an actual competition. If it’s purely for aesthetic purposes, why not? Just don’t lie about it.
Not that I’m saying it’s ok or cool to do but guys like The Rick and Cena(even though I think The Rocks opinions isn’t his and just whatever the popular opinion is) Cena and Rick make o much money and are supposed to be “role models” for kids they have to lie. And honestly most of us would lie if we will loss hundreds of millions of dollars in sponsorships and movie deals. But cmom guys the use steroids now and they used it back than. I’ve never seen someone like John Cena in his prime be natural. Dude was a walking ninja turtle. We not that fucking dumb are we.
@rickykozak58 People don't admit to it because that would be admitting to a crime.
@@paulservary5360 maven is just gangster like that yo
No one is making better wrestling content on UA-cam. Keep up the great work, my friend!
Hey, you are doing a pretty good job as well!
It’s refreshing to say the least. There no gimmick, no ego, no rehashing 20 year old beefs or rumours for views.
Just a guy being honest and informative. As well as taking accountability and keeping it respectful.
Don't disrespect WrestlingBios like that.
I'm torn between Maven and Stevie Richards, both are doing great work on YT.
I may know one guy lol
"We went there" really hit hard. I've been a fan of wrestling since I was 13, a 37 year old now. It hurts to know how many of the young men I grew up watching were not able to reach their golden years in peace. You're a trooper Maven. Rooting for you today, even if I did hate you for eliminating the Undertaker in 02
You hated him for eliminating a heel?
@@quentinkaasa47people had favorites back when they were young
@@ChewyNuggetZUndertaker was easy to hate at the time. He attacked JR and had been feuding with Rob Van Dam.
... with the help of The Rock.
for you i guess. not him. @@quentinkaasa47
Maven and Stevie are absolutely killing the UA-cam game now. This content is amazing, and I’m glad he’s not holding anything back. Respect.
I agree
Stevie Richards is Captain Hindsight:

It's been awesome to watch! There was a giant gap in the market and they identified it and filled it up nicely each in their own way. I always love to see retired wrestlers doing well cause that's not always the case as we all know too well.
Mave my dearest brother, you have the charisma, the capacity to not only spark life in what in reality is a journey filled with horror except the little breathing spaces you wrestlers got when overseas but the grace to present that window into the world of the WWE in a contented and joyful manner.
Honestly, even Austin or Dwayne-The Rock would not present such a positive and optimistic window into the world of Vincent Kennedy McMahon and his empire.
If the WWE managed everything like travel, food, accommodation - - Even BnB would suffice, I would say that a lot of the misery, suffering and stress would be spared as all this could be delegated so that the entertainment performers may be able to lead a life onwards of the WWE which is positive and healthy which then the WWE can exploit for whitewashing their empire and for publicity but at least the entertainment performers can benefit from.
Look at Brock Lesnar who wrestles a handful of times in a year but still is a top draw and earner.
I genuinely thought for a long time that the images that I saw in the WWE book-type-magazines from 2002-2004 where all the wrestlers were in a long black bus 🚍 and travelling together was the norm and that the wrestlers were solely focused on the action, storyline, gyming and had the support of being with all the other comrades as a replacement for being away from the family and friends so that after the performance everyone could chill out back at the motel and have each other to confide in.
I draw this analogy in good faith rather than insult that the WWE travelling and wrestlers are more like a moving circus or like gypsies who may be deprived of a permanent place of residence but have the blessing of being united as a group living, not only working, living coherently.
My love is why I wrote such a long comment but from my evaluation people should rather put their time, health, relationships, peace, brutal hard work and sacrifice into other avenues of entertainment sport or actual sport rather than for a business that treats their wrestlers not as EMPLOYEES in terms of extending the benefits of contractual employees but obliges them as if full-time employees even though they are independent contractors who are obligated to Vinny McMahon.

Maven is giving insight to the questions wrestling fans have... and he's about as REAL of a human being as it gets.
This guy and his team LITERALLY took OVER the UA-cam Wrestling scene ! Simply by being GENUINE! He’s like a Tour Guide through the WWE museum! He tells you what you need to know without telling you what you don’t need to know! He is a PLEASANT straight shooter ! Awesome! Glad To Say I have been here since LITERALLY day 1 😂
no he didnt wheres his history videos wheres his top ten list wherres the videos of him ranking every chap theirs more then one avenue in the wrestling youtube scene hes not on all of them hes my favorite wrestling youtuber but your just wrong quit lieing to people
@@jasonanderson5034no hes totally right, now no disrespect to other but i dont really like wrestling channels where the host is sitting down in front of a mic wearing headphones, whereas the way Maven and his team produce his series makes it more intimate, i would say hes up there with CVV
@@jasonanderson5034quit lieing to people!! Wahhh 😭😭… stop ya crying you beetch asssss jabroni
A tour guide is definitely the best way to describe him.
for real, Wrestling youtube is booming right now, Nash get to 100k super quick and Stevie Richards is killing it now too
"You DO NOT room with Samoans... I thought were yelling."
😂
Get this man another contract! Ambassador, PR, writer, doesn’t matter… Maven is a true professional, and it’s an honor to see his charisma on the screen again, even if it’s the small screen.
This guy is a breath of fresh air.
🙏🏽 thank you so much
@@MavenKHuffmanhow was working with Goldberg like?
@@MavenKHuffmanawesome🫵
@MavenKHuffman, I loved your theme song
"Aint nothing fake about gravity" is quite possibly the best answer when someone asks if professional wrestling is fake.
Austin said it too.
Drew said the same as well.
I wanted to like this comment but it was on 69 so I didnt like it quite obviously but I took 15 seconds to write this to say…..hey I like your comment haha 😂
One of the things I’ve always wanted to know is “when do wrestlers find out who is going to win”. I’ve literally ALWAYS wanted to know that and to find out that it’s literally on the day of the show is insane. I just can’t wrap my head around it. I always thought they were planned weeks/months in advance. Imagine being a champion and being told “your losing the belt tonight mate” I’d be pissed 😭
Unless you're Hulk "Creative Control" Hogan. Definitely if you're in a feud with him..
"Your uhh, your match with Hogan tonight? Soo, you're gonna be dropping the bel-"
"Duh.."
😅
Yeah but you only won the belt because you were told that you were going to win it.
Yeah in regular/monthly shows the wrestlers will find out in the same day of the match. But in PPV’S wrestlers will find out like, 1/2 MONTHS before the match occurs in practice.
On the weekly and house shows, that probably what happens. But on Championship matches, those are mostly planned ahead, especially the top world championships. For example, before Superstar Billy Graham won the WWWF title from Bruno Sammartino, he was told exactly when he was going to drop the belt to Bob Backlund at MSG, which was about a year ahead of time.
Sure it's dependant on the event, obviously wrestlemania and the Royal rumble are planned very early and obviously the writers know months in advance, probably keeps the wrestler on their toes more not knowing so early
This guy looks like a pharaoh
I really thought he was the pharaoh from the mummy
Could've been an okay gimmick to pair up against Gangrel, Undertaker, Kane, etc during the 90s!!
Yeah i think he is like egyptian
@@hipolitomorales3184like or is?
This guy is the definition of having a radio voice. Can listen to him all day.
literally thought the same thing lol
I'm British so I'm not good with American accents, but he reminds me of Dave chappelles accent. I'm probably way off 😂
He used to be a teacher before entering the wrestling industry
Why Maven works so well as a wrestling UA-camr is you can see his experience of a teacher comes out in the videos and becomes very informative and memorizing video to watch. Wrestling fans will always know wrestlers get hurt and not everything is fake but while most wrestlers will get mad or just say “it’s real” maven comes around to tell how the small but informative details. I know this channel won’t catch on to non wrestling fans but I’m confident that this channel could be great for fans and non fans of the wrestling business.
Exactly, when he revealed he was a teacher it all connected as to why his informative videos were on point in presentation
@@dejountemurraythefutureg.o9040 He was also a host on the home shopping network, selling items on tv
He’s also scathingly honest about every aspect of the business.
Absolutely he also has a great personality
Triple H gave you your 1st pair of wrestling boots?! That's huge! Major respect to the guy!
Triple H also made A VERY RARE APPEARANCE at Sunday night heat just to fight this guy. That shows how much potential maven had that time
I was under the impression he was a dick IRL (HHH), but apparently I was wrong.
HHH worked Heat in 98, 99, and 00 too. Defended the title against Hardcore in January 2000 and fought Saturn in October of 2000 on Heat. @@creydadj
Maven seems like a really good guy. Wish I knew more about his real personality then his wrestling persona back in the day. Also, the way he explains his experiences, from being in the WWE to leaving, in previous videos, really speaks volumes. He speaks very openly and honestly and I think that's a reason these videos are so popular. Even though he no longer wrestles, he'll always be known as Maven "The Wrestler." Cheers Mav. Thanks for the videos.
Fair play to Maven. Really good content. He actually asks AND answers some questions that us fans were thinking. He's also got a really nice chill vibe and it's shame we never got to see his mic skills because he's actually got charisma and a good presence.
Content piff
This channel has quickly become a favorite. Maven hasnt had it easy since his release, and I love the way he stuck it out, and reinvented himself into a quality content creator. He was a teacher by trade and you can definitely feel that.
Seems like he's still trying to hold onto his little 5 minutes of fame but sure ok.
@@L4-295 or maybe he just doesn’t really keep up with the current product? So he doesn’t say anything about it, and only speaks on his own experiences?
Best channel by a wrestler by far. Love how Mav is honest, never puts anyone "under the mat/bus"
Maven, my dude. This channel you got here is an absolute masterpiece. I could listen to you talk about your experience on the road with WWE for hours. It’s really nice to hear first hand experience in such depth. Thank you for what you do, Maven.
Considering that Maven was never a big name in the wrestling business, I sure find myself engaged in his videos! Honesty goes a long way with people, and I feel that Maven is being 100% genuine when he answers these questions -
Good for you dude! Keep producing these informative videos, and I’ll keep watching them…
It goes to show that what a professional in entertainment does is such a high bar even the worst guy in a professional league is light years ahead of the avg Joe. One guy considered the worst NBA player cooked some regular joe like 23-2 and said I'm closer to LeBron James than you are to me in skill. Very true and maven left a ton of potential on the table
Which is a crying shame because he worked and had great matches with some of the absolute legends in the business during his time.
Maven! The dude with the sickest dropkick 🔥
Him and Orton ofc
@@user-el2uj3tm6kZiggler, Shelton, Hardcore.
I think the underwear question was more aimed at the trunks and not what is under them.
Thank you for these videos. I just found your channel and binged the lot. I was a fan of your work in the ring, and you are a very compelling person to watch discussing the ins and outs of the industry. Between you and Stevie, you guys are killing it with the details of the WWE and wrestling in general. You've answered a lot of questions I've had, and adding your own personal stories not only lends to those answers, but also makes your videos so much more engaging. Really appreciate your time.
My man is putting more work in his UA-cam than his whole WWF/WWE career!
lame ass comment. do better next time ok?
Maven will hit a million subs within a year and he absolutely deserves it. Dude resurrected his career and is making amazing content.
Dunno about a million
Thank you Maven you are a legend in our eyes, thank you for breaking some of the most popular questions down we really appreciate that! You are a star bro, I can actually imagine what it's like being on the road in such clear detail as if I was there by the way you described the experience! Keep on creating brother, these days a new Maven video is one of the top highlights of my week!
Spot on John Laurinaitis impression.
Maven really does seem like the kinda guy you could go to a bar with to have a few drinks with and play some pool while just talking about wrestling all night. Could listen to his stories all day.
Fellas, I have been LOVING the props in the videos. I'm sure it's not always easy to get or make the props you use, but it adds SO MUCH to the experience. More than I ever thought it would. More creators should follow your lead. Keep up the great work!
Man, this is a dude you want to hang out with
Congratulations on 100k!!!!! Damn that was fast. Two months! What a boss! Great job to your whole team. You all have it down to a science as to what people want. That and your humility is key!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@MavenKHuffman keep killing good sir! Enjoy your second act!
This is genuinely good content, been watching every single video from Maven and been waiting for new ones constantly, keep it up my man.
Respect to Maven for not wanting to "big league" his way into favors or special treatment from businesses like gyms and restaurants. That's a phenomenon that's increasingly rare these days.
I absolutely love the fact he is printing out stuff and then using it as a prop. It just feels so much more real and engaging than showing all of this on a tablet screen would be.
I'm actually glad that Maven jumped on my recommends section. It is really entertaining to watch those videos and no surprise he exploded so quickly and gained so much attention. He talks, he is transparent. Wish him only the best.
I'll be honest I was never a fan of Maven. But I really like his channel, best wrestling related channel on UA-cam for me. Keep up the great work Maven.
I'm the same. I didn't mind Maven, was happy for him to be there. But I didn't pay attention to him. But I'm LOVING Maven the UA-camr. Got a great voice, a personality that shines through, seems genuine and happy. It's such a refreshing, fun and informative channel.
@@danielebowman couldn't have said it better myself.
You are EXACTLY who we were targeting. Thank you for giving us a chance despite not being a huge fan of my ring work. Life is all about being able to adapt. 🙏🏽
@@MavenKHuffman What is available at catering? Is there more choice at TV versus House Shows?
Are wrestlers saving every document for gas, meals, hotels while on the road for tax purposes?
Did you try to collect points for hotels and air travel?
In terms of Wrestlemania, when you’re in a city for three to five days, did WWE pay for the hotel rooms?
The underwear question I think they were calling the whole costume “underwear”. And some guys wear boots because they are good protection for your ankles to take care of them compared to nothing giving them structure.
The absolute best channel from a former wrestler I've seen. Straight to the point, no bullshit. Thank you sir, your videos have been interesting and insightful, respect!
This dude answers all my questions at the back of my brain unapologetically and im here for it
Best behind the scene wrestling, you can tell he's true, humble, respectful and shoots from the hip, can't wait for more
Thanks for making these videos Maven. You are the most authentic and so articulate in your choice of words. So enlightening and such a treat to watch. Look forward to more ❤️
This guy is more over right now than most of the modern wrestlers
Maven you are the man. Thank you for your transparency and honesty and the behind the scenes insight.
Unfortunately, I wasn't familiar with Maven's career since I didn't follow wrestling during the Attitude/Ruthless Aggression era, missing out on some fantastic moments. My wrestling fandom was strong during the Golden Era, with favourites like Warrior, Hogan, Hacksaw, and Bulldog, but it waned around 1998. By pure accident, I found myself watching again during the early days of the PG era. Maven, though, I stumbled upon him on this UA-cam channel and have since delved into his matches and interviews on the WWE network and UA-cam. He's truly impressive, not just in the ring but as a likable human being, and I'm delighted to have discovered this channel!
Damn bruh u missed the best eras
@@zayalv54 I know! I've watched plenty on the WWE Network, but nothing can truly replace the excitement of experiencing those moments as they happened. I missed out on The Rock, Steve Austin, Kane, and more, but I'm grateful that platforms like the WWE Network and UA-cam allow me to see those iconic moments.
I left as well. Once Vince bought WCW, I said thank you very much, I'm done w wrestling.
@zayalv54 No, he said he was around for the golden Era, wrestlemanias 1 thru 6. Attitude Era is a close second I think. They are COMPLETELY different but both awesome!!
wow you're a dinosaur
Keep doing these videos Maven. Love watching them, very insightful and humble.
Calling it now, Maven's UA-cam career will match, if not, surpass his WWE career, this is some great content you're putting out. You're a great communicator, and you should also start a podcast.
Imagine you take your hardcore championship to a bar with you and someone tries to fight you for it under the old hardcore championship rules
WWE need to hire this man as a good will embassador. So damn likable.
Randy Orton got fined lots of times for smoking weed...Pretty much the reason they changed the policy
Maven killing it again 🔥🔥 Always cool to hear the inside facts & opinions on everything. Especially that story with the Undertaker and getting color before the Royal Rumble, considering his reaction to hearing you'd eliminate him!
Keep up the good work, Maven. Glad you look and sound well years after taking all those bumps for us!
The independent contractor part is crazy to me. Independent but need permission to do anything outside of the WWE. Doesn't sound very 'independent' to me.
Facts!
Maven gives some great insights on the business and they really help us understand common questions in pro wrestling. Thanks
I’ve been binge-watching your videos the last couple of days. Great stuff. Awesome hearing your stories!
I just appreciate the way he speak so fluently
What I love about Mavens UA-cam channel is those of us who originally watched tough enough got to see his journey on becoming a WWE superstar, we got to see him during his run as a WWE Superstar and now we get to see what's going on now.
I haven’t been the biggest fan of wrestling in years, but I’m definitely a big fan of Maven’s content. You’re doing an excellent job, man. Keep it up! 👍
Love your UA-cam shows. It appears to be very healing for you for whatever reason and give us fans a inside look at the WWE. Thank you😀
I love this content! This and Steven Richards' channels are the best wrestling behind the scenes channels I've come across. Sure, Maven didn't have THAT long of a career with the WWE but what is important to me is that he was a fan first and then a wrestler. He doesn't come out as the company man but is genuinely honest and transparent!
Maven man. You HAVE got to do more 20-30 minutes videos. They kill man. Everyone wants to hear what you have to say and 8-10 minutes just ain’t enough man. You’re killing it brother kill ‘em coming
I love how down to earth and humble Maven is
I absolutely love listening to Maven's knowledge and the "in's and out's of the wrestling business" A majority would never admit it. Love how Genuine he is and enjoy listening too his stories!...
Actually incredible how open and honest this channel is, Mav'. Love it all.
Man Mave you're killing it!! Just great content. I was a fan of WWF / WWE as a kid and I'm reliving it now through my 8-year-old son who is a huge fan. Unfortunately I stopped following wrestling at one point in life and missed your years but your content is great and you're answering questions I've always wondered about.
Way to be real about the business and respect it!!
Preciate the content I’m only 20 so I didn’t watch ur career live but I’ve re watched the ruthless aggression era and you were good man thanks for the videos
Same with me I’m turning 20 this year so I wasn’t old enough of course to see him wrestle in WWE at the time but have since and loved the tough enough story and UA-cam channel.
Maven, its me Geo, Do you have one more run in you?
thank you for being so outspoken and such an open book, a lot if not all of these questions i’ve had before and always wondered. It’s really nice to hear from a former wrestler how WWE was like and how it really is without all the media behind it.
Maven's a great talker. Could listen to him for hours
20 years later just getting a perspective from Maven is awesome. Good to see you're doing well, Maven. Keep on being awesome, brother!
Great! Job Maven to you and your team for putting together such great videos. And also to answering questions that every fan out there could possibly dream to ask or would like the questions to. Definitely one of the best wrestling channels on the platform keep up the excellent work guys. During your tough enough days I was in middle school at the time when I was watching your WWE career I was freshly in High school I still remember when Al snow tricked you saying your opponent was coming right through the door and shortly attacking you reveling himself as your first opponent.
This is great content. Respectful. Entertaining. Open and honest without being exploitive. Stories and details you don't hear everywhere else. Good job Maven and team!
That Johnny Ace impersonation is on point! 💯
Stevie Richards and Maven have been killing it with their channels! 👍🏼
I could NOT love Stevie, or his content more! His videos are my favorite!
Every single video has been so engaging and kept my attention. I love the way you tells stories, so relatable and funny at times. Hope your channel continues to grow
I've really been enjoying your videos, my dude. Been watching one after another.
You're a natural UA-camr (no offense!): very personable, humorous, a concise & clear speaker-I guess all that experience as an entertainer paid off, haha.
Crazy how fast ur channels grown
It was at like 81k subs two days ago!
Would love to hear more about these backstage fights 🥊 I’m sure they’ve been discussed before but a 1st hand account play by play would be pretty cool
Betcha, there has to be at some point because of shortage in the content, I mean in terms of personal experiences
I doubt he’ll go into details on other wrestlers heat and them shooting on each other out of respect for his fellow workers.
@@JelloTRYesh, he made it pretty clear he's not gonna put any names out there.
Bro you are killing it on this UA-cam gig you got!! Your videos have taught me so much about the “behind the scenes” kinda deal and it really answers a lot of questions I had about wrestling and the business as a whole.
Who would’ve thought in 2023 we would be getting taught by a hardcore champion 😂🤘 you rock maven!
I always really enjoy hearing from Maven... I can't say I really liked nor disliked him as a wrestler but as a person he seems very real and down to earth anytime I've listened to videos of his or featuring him. He just seems very sincere.
You mention Al Snow towards the end. His cousin was my childhood neighbor. We lived out in the country and every fall, our little neighborhood would have a hog roast. Al would always show up. He knew I was a big wrestling fan and it being the late 90s/early 2000's he was still on TV, he would bring me his action figure and a signed picture. He's a good guy
Maven's UA-cam channel is revolutionary. So unique and refreshing. And he's so charismatic and entertaining.
Maven's partner realizes the content is endless. Shout out to him for learning UA-cam masterfully
He is a genius. I call him Tha Guru!
Maven had one of the best most underrated entrance themes EVER!
That Johnny Ace impression is brilliant 😂
I’ve really been enjoying Maven’s channel! Hopefully he continues making videos for a long time!
It's so sad not having Dolph in the WWE and seeing him in most of these highlights
Maven is awesome 😊
Favorite Channel so far. Great work Mav.
Your videos are genuinely so great. The production cavalier us so high, and you’re so open and personable. Just really love the vids, man, and I’m happy to see you having such success
Idc. Maven to me will forever have the best DROP KICK. Just pure beauty when he did it.
Maven, these videos you've been putting on YT lately have been amazing! Keep up the great work!
Nice work Sir Maven. Thank you for all these posts. I've been watching all day! and it'd be great if u post more, thanks again!
I loved the part where Mave says “It’s Maven time” and Maved all over the place.
Love your channel Maven! Fondly remember the “good ole days” when wrestling was must see tv. Glad to see you impart your time and knowledge/stories in WWE. Look forward to another installment!
WWE should pay you royalties for these vids. Some of the best PR they could ask for. Your positive mental attitude is also a huge breath of fresh air. What a gift to be so grateful in a field where lack of fulfillment due to ambition, partying, injuries, etc is so common.
I’ve not been into wrestling since the 90s, aside from playing Smackdown on the PS2, but Maven’s delivery of really interesting facts are perfectly executed and the anecdotes from his time in the WWE are fascinating. Great channel, I’m hooked!
Living in Virginia and watching wwe all my life it was literally a passion for my entire life. I'm glad to see maven actually talking about it.
