Former WWE Wrestler Maven Tells His Life Story (Full Interview)

Former WWE superstar and KZbinr Maven Huffman offered VladTV a look into his life and career. He explained he was conceived during an extramarital affair, which led to his biological father being absent from his life and Maven being adopted by his uncle and aunt after his mom took her own life. The former wrestler described his failed attempt at a baseball career before becoming a middle school teacher. However, Maven took a chance on himself and joined WWE's reality competition show, "Tough Enough," which led him to join the Vince McMahon-led company. From his storied feud with The Undertaker, wrestlers' income, experiences with Vince McMahon, and his admitted use of various substances, Maven offered insight into his wrestling career as well as the entire professional wrestling industry throughout this new VladTV exclusive.

[@chadroberts4832]

Maven should 100% be interviewing other wrestlers on his podcast. He always presents as a genuinely great person and his communication skills are top shelf.

[@wopdablockstar6630]

WWE should hire him for backstage interviews imo

[@kenterminateddq5311]

As a long-time wrestling fan, this is my favorite VLAD TV interview of 2024. Thank you, Maven for being on VLAD TV.

Maven is so good at communicating

this is by far my favorite Vlad video

Finally a non criminal interview lol

[@SaintBusiness]

Non *convicted* criminal*** He admitted in the interview, to doctor shopping which is a crime and being arrested for it though the charges were dropped because he paid 25k lol.

[@WoVanGogh]

He is a criminal lol, Big C

[@GHatzis-g8t]

Maven ain’t no criminal. He didn’t do time

[@madneeko1]

Maven... a very articulate well spoken story teller .. i am not a wrestling fan, but I listened to this whole intv.... great, great intv.

[@TheBulletzgottishow20]

Great interview maven underrated

[@RealTakerslady]

Maven was born to be on TV talking

[@gaymondvanhynten]

What a nice person. One of the best episodes I‘ve ever seen.

[@JA-ev7om]

Who watched all 16 parts of the Maven interview? 👍

Right her

And still here

[@NHLBamm]

Definitely did 😂😂😂

[@jamesesposito8917]

I just watched the whole 2 hour interview on vlads youtube. Is the another way to watch it ?

[@anthonyrhodes840]

8 surgeries for 5 years of work is diabolical on another level

[@briancrawford69]

Pro sports is no different

[@anthonyrhodes840]

@@briancrawford69 that’s why it’s ridiculous to say these guys are not athletes… I mean I don’t jump off of shit and do flips for my job lol… on top of that they’re also learning actual fighting and it’s more technical because you have to learn when to pull a punch and how much to pull it

[@jasonpatrick5660]

Maven is such a genuine and honest guy. He's got some hilarious one-liners, and he's a hell of a storyteller. I watch everything on his channel.

[@wesleypeel4756]

Hey guys, it's Maven

[@GTA_WREz]

And today I'm going to tell you about the time...

[@J_Murda16]

Hey maven, its guys

[@KroodyBeats]

Best WWE KZbin channel. It's cool af he's on Vlad. He's come a long way in a short period.

[@derekhammett8634]

from 2001 to 2005 i was a WWE superstar

[@lolomo5787]

Hey its, guys maven

[@tonitone4662]

Maven has that gift of knowing how to talk to people ! Very interesting guy.

[@jjdbzfan18]

I never knew maven had a backstory like that. Dude is resilient.

[@clip1720ETH]

Vlad is so dang loud when he starts rambling. Mave, you're the man.

[@jimmybenyoucef4416]

Maven needs his own wrestling documentary on Netflix

[@DFW817]

Vlad should hire maven to conduct interviews that he can’t make. Maven is a natural talker.

[@boraonline7036]

Maven maybe was a "mid carder" during his tine in WWE, but he is truely a main eventer as a podcaster!

[@swift7163]

This really was an unexpected great interview

[@juanitolivetv3092]

Maven is one of the most genuine human being big fan! Very humble love the fact that he has a story about life in general!

[@devanvieira9174]

Wwe really should bring him back as an announcer or talk show, he's very articulate

[@prettytony9910]

His honesty and humbleness is what makes this an extraordinary interview.

[@Gunnerzfan79]

I'm not even a "modern" wrestling fan, but I saw a Mavin interview early this year and have been watching lots his content since. Honest, sincere and humble guy, plus he's a great communicator as lots of other comments state.

[@gunnarjordan6980]

Damn! This is the best interview Vlad ever did! Maven is such an intelligent and articulate guy. He has a great speaking voice too!

[@Que_Netter]

I knew once Maven’s KZbin channel took off, I said to myself he gon be on Vlad TV real soon…Now look at him! Didn’t think it would be this soon though…But once you make it here, you in the Big Leagues

[@XXtheultimatewarrior]

lets hope he stays away from no jumper

Didnt expect this at all

5 Minutes in and I already know it's worth listening to

1:33:16 “RIGHT AFTER HE BUSS” 😂😂😂😂 ayoooo Vlad is on one

[@KayFabe87]

Maven pulled a “George Constanza” with a stripper tip? That is hilarious 😂.

Great work on this one 👍

This interview is hilarious. Maven sharing great stories. 👍👍👍👍

Actually a pretty good interview. Great guest. And have to commend Vlad for not talking about himself as much as he normally does.

[@LB38X]

I was so eager to watch and maven has not disappointed 😮

[@Imahater431]

This reminds of that time eliminated The Undertaker at the Royal Rumble with The People’s Dropkick

[@AcS-b3i]

This was a great interview! The next wrestler should be RVD. He has a lot of amazing stories, as well being a business man

[@clintstewart5545]

RVD for sure !!!

[@rudeculture4399]

Vlad please make him a repeat guest!!!! Great interview!!! One of the best I’ve seen on here

[@El_hombre_malo]

Vlad stop it. You took a 5mg of prednisone and turned into the hulk🤦🏻‍♂️

[@justin1439]

Came here to say this. Dude has no clue what he’s talking about and 90% of the time his wrestling interviews just come across as uninformed. Maven led him through this one.

[@MrUltimatemaniac100]

Great interview 👍

[@xaviersantini8176]

Vlad should have Maven interview other wrestlers, Maven is a good talker and wouldn’t cut people off and tell them about himself

[@petermanfredini]

He doesn't need to do that. He has his own platform that gets better engagement than vladtv

[@gw593]

Great interview Vlad genuinely enjoys people finding themselves in great situations and doing well for themselves. You can tell.

[@junebugspade7771]

Maven seems to be a real personable, down to earth guy. Great interview

[@davebaconusa1062]

I’ve heard all these stories a bunch of times, and I still enjoy them.

[@Tokyo-In-My-Dreamz]

I remember Mark Henry was in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada doing autographs and my bro snapped photo of him unexpectedly. Henry got so mad he stood up and got in friends face screaming, "You wanna go" my friend didn't flinch once and stood still" Henry walked away and we applauded our friends bravery only to find out he was so scared shitless and couldn't move as he froze up in fear😅

[@txtitan20]

Make Maven a regular

[@SPG8989]

So happy for Maven. Guy is becoming more popular than the guys he looked up to. Who would have thought a c tier wwf/e star would blow up a decade and a half later. I don't mean to downplay his time there, but let's be real, he wasn't in the A roster, but damn look at him now. He found his true calling. Im not even a big wrestling fan but I watch every vid he makes and every interview he is in

[@Garrison1971]

I may not have liked Maven as a wrestler, but he is a really good dude!

[@DFW817]

Start interviewing wrestlers Vlad! Undertaker, stone cold, HHH, Jim Cornette would break the internet.

[@josealejandre9699]

Vlad interviewing Cornette would be epic!!

[@lariosmendoza]

This man needs to be on TV again !

[@coreythompsonTheOneandOnly]

[@scottwood4543]

I agree Legend

[@cecilwampler8733]

I grew up in Virginia around the same time as Maven. We all loved the Crockett wrestling back then.

[@knightfall209]

Maven always seemed like a cool guy.

[@abc-j7e7o]

People really sleep on the The Rock's acting abilities, because we're often used to seeing him play action roles. He leans into being typecast for action roles, because it's what sells with him. But if you look at his catalogue of work, he has played diverse roles that are different to the usual action Rock. Also, a guy his size will always be typecast for action roles. But I wouldn't say Dave or Cena are better actors than him.

[@craigreedy8100]

I once smoked a blunt with Maven in my college days 😂

[@hopesM1]

Vlad loves cena as well

Maven humble as always

[@notjennyfromtheblock]

Love Maven, he’s so humbling.

[@ryanmclark82]

I stopped watching wrestling back in 2000. I caught bits and pieces of the Attitude Era and am very familiar with The Rock, Stone Cold, Goldberg, etc. Never heard of Maven, but hearing him speak is crazy!

[@jdiesal510]

I remember the day I sat next to Jimmy Hart's gf in Oakland at the Coliseum so vividly, she told me that backstage, 'everyone are pretty much friends with one another.' Wrestling was never the same after that.

[@liam5382]

Maven is a genuinely nice guy and has a really interesting story.

[@PHM4614]

I like Maven I can’t believe he wasn’t a huge star I hope he gets back into Wwe.
