The video came out to a great pop and got insanely over in such a quick time. You should be commended for its booking 😁 I wanted to hear more about the breakdown for motels, flights, rental cars and gym passes. (People gloss over this) You said you would make $4000 a month. But if you stayed at a motel every single day for $80, that's $2400 right there. And we're just getting started!

Went to my first WWE event when I was 5 and after the show I was so nervous to ask Maven for a picture, he walked up to me and took my camera and said "don't forget to smile kid".

That's an incredible story. I'm not sure if you know or not but Maven's biological aunt raised him after his parents passed in a car accident. Sadly, his own aunt, who he knew as more of a mother figure, passed from cancer in 2004. It sounds like you and Maven both had some pretty special aunts who are sorely missed.

So he made about 200K a year for 4 years before taxes and other expenses. So 100k after close to half of it goes to Shlomo and his gang of swine (tax thugs) 30k towards rent for that year or mortgage. 10k for car payment. 10K to sudden unexpected events like dog gets sick or house maintenance. 10k-20k for on the go work related for flying, car rentals, hotels, and food. He’s left with about 50k to do whatever he wants with it for the rest of the year (buying clothes, jewelry, toys, saving, investing) which is still pretty damn good to have that much left. But you better have a backup plan as those 4 years will go by pretty fast.

Can't say he was a favorite of mine, never turned on the TV and said "yes, it's Maven time!", but I always had a soft spot for him after that first Tough Enough and appreciated when he had a good match or was used in a fun way. It's a very tough business that has eaten up a lot of greats, and it's always nice to see a wrestler make his way through unscathed. Maven looks healthy, clear-headed, reasonably well-off and has a great perspective on his career; super happy for him. Thanks for these videos!

yeah but when he kicked out the undertaker from the rumble, but most surprising for me was maven turning down HHH's offer to JOIN evolution, the way this man rejected that ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity for investing in the SURE thing, when maven rejected that, he lost me right there, MAVEN if you are reading this dont ignore me man, WHY you did that man? you took the wrongest decision ever by turning down that offer man!

As a kid, my two obsessions were wrestling and MTV. Watching Tough Enough, going through the journey, I was so invested in Maven. I almost felt like I was living vicariously through him, like "Yeah one of us made it to WWF!"

You know what, now that I think back on it, it definitely did have that feeling. We were so use to our regulars that a new guy like Maven made it, it made it interesting because it was an "outsider" breaking into the business. He was accepted immediately and embraced by the fans.

I always find it encouraging to hear stories of a performers' day-to-day life as it helps to take the feeling of unattainablity and mystery out of that world. Thanks for this video! Awesome content.

Really insightful look into the business. I'm not a wrestling fan and barely knew who Maven was before discovering this channel, but I really appreciate these videos. From these numbers it makes sense why we see so many aging former stars return to the ring. There's enough money in it to entice former wrestlers to return, especially if they still have a big name and fan appeal. Yet at the same time, there's not enough that they can comfortably retire after a "typical" career like in the big money sports.
