WWE should do a series and call if Going for BROKE and have Maven host it because he's a great story teller.

I started watching again recently just before Wrestlemania, after not watching it for over 20 years. It’s good fun. Still not as good as the Attitude era, but it’s entertaining. It’s also great that you can basically watch every single event on Peacock. It’s been fun to go back and rewatch stuff and also see what I’ve missed over the years. Also having the entire ECW catalog on there has been fantastic cause it was hard to watch that stuff at thes time.

[@patrickmcneil9180]

What's interesting about Maven's rise to prominence on KZbin is that, since the business was "exposed" on a mass scale with the advent of the internet, so much of the intrigue of the behind the scenes has been about the conflict.

Maven is a lot more instrumental to the business than people realize. His time as a wrestler was nondescript, but how he got into the business via Though Enough proved that people would consume non-wrestling content from WWE which now days is a huge part of their viewership. Plus Though Enough eventually morphed into NXT forever changing the development of future WWE stars.

Personally, if I were a boss in the WWE I would bring Maven back not as a wrestler, because his body is pretty damaged and wrestling again could easily cause him to fall back into taking opioids, but I’d absolutely hire him to be a commentator and bring him onboard backstage as part of the team that comes up with the stories.

Not after what he said about Vince 😂

[@EatTheMarxists]

@@JoshuaKulmatycki Vince is gone though and last I heard there’s not a single McMahon leading the new company that has merged with the UFC. Did some of them come back after Vince was removed?

@@JoshuaKulmatycki lol where have you been ?? Vince is gone from the company

[@trademarktaz]

Maven is everywhere 😭 steady chasing that KZbin money, I’m not mad at him. I was actually rooting for him as a kid even though I knew he sucked

Snickers commercial idea when The Rock's hungry he becomes Maven
