[@Drew_D]

Stevie and Maven were so awesome that I had to subscribe to both of their channels. 👍

[@MavenKHuffman]

Thank you Drew!!! You will not be disappointed in either channel

[@Billy-ng4ih]

Good idea. I'm about to do the same.

[@stevemcknelly5036]

This is the way.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

Stevie is a class act, He's giving out advice for these guys for free

[@jnulpi]

all of them are class acts.

[@Naruto0s44]

Exactly

[@ShockerTopper]

Ya I really respect Stevie, he is one of the coolest people it seems like. He was always one of the favorites from when I first saw him in the bWo as a kid.

[@Amypj]

Haven’t watched wrestling in years but these videos make me smile so much.

[@rockyruane9379]

Need these four every episode. Amazing.

[@foxerfiery4232]

Rene, SR and Maven are easily the best wrestling channels!!

[@PonchoTheDingo]

Miraculous Maven, Spectacular Stevie, Richious Rene, And jamming james

[@bhumibolrushing7830]

Love you guys and say what you want about raw and smackdown...hhh really has turned it around creativity amd culturally

[@BlastMaster]

There's nothing I love more than forgetting I had this open, then suddenly noticing a Johnny Ace impression. Gets me every time.

[@perfectmanifesto14]

Well done Rene, James - another excellent show and excellent chemistry between all just sharing thoughts on wrestling. Would welcome bringing maven/stevie combo back on a future show.

[@seanboi]

Great stream boys! Keep up the great rope work 👍

[@RZmovement]

Loved the stream as always Maven And Stevie are wonderful ,your lives are always entertaining,r try to bring Nunzio for a live would love to see and hear from him nowadays

[@TheCaptainSlappy]

Marvelous Mervin...fun cat. Educational Business is important...Mr. Richards does a good job on it. As long as Rene drops an elbow on it and gets a laugh...though I figure he would be great with facials for an Iron Claw.

[@omnidimensional]

Thank you to Cafe de Rene and Stevie for saying _it_ also, for sharing that in-ring story! 💯

[@RyanKimba]

All AMAZING guys! Grubby Vince and the World Wildlife Fund didn't deserve them, that's for sure

[@Gamblestein]

Thanks for the show. Putting my detective hat on🕵 I wonder if the unnamed person sitting with Maven who Shawn Michaels ignored and the unnamed AEW agent who called Stevie when his video was taken down are actually the same person🧐 If so, I think this unnamed person could be quite the 'badass' 🤔

[@firstinstinct420]

Interview Fuego Del Soul.

[@chrissyjohnson5228]

Shout out 🎉from H,burg - Maven

[@zakotheklown3506]

the 3 best wrestling youtubers in one livestream

Someone's eye had popped out ? (Big Van) Vader (vs. Stan "the Lariat" Hansen) in Japan, vibes

[@mikibaer358]

These 3 should make a podcast called job 4 life! 😂😂😂😂

[@richevans609]

What's funny is Saturday Night's Main Event Started at 11:30 P.M....It took the place of SNL...

[@firstinstinct420]

Good podcast boys

[@firstinstinct420]

Gotta get Val venis on

[@repost_6337]

Forgot to tell James to ask Rene if he has any creepy road/hotel stories

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Right to Censor was one of the most successfully hated things in the history of wrestling. Not portrayed by Vince or HHH or even someone who needed a championship, but a guy who stepped up and went 300 percent into that role. People think Dominik has universal heat and he does, but Stevie and his white shirt posse had everyone from kids on from the playground to guys in retirement homes holding their piss during commercials so they wouldn't take too long and miss seeing someone kick your ass on Raw.

[@HiPHOPx87]

The 4 man team we need

[@helveticaneptune537]

Great podcast lads, so rene do you have french ancestry?

[@Weirzy]

Yes he is French on his father's side

[@Dtdewayne]

1:45:30 😂

[@madjazza4098]

Lmao the video game topic was great. Maven also looks like the generic male protagonist from the trailers of Saints Row 2 lol

[@JoeBowler-r9n]

Stevie, i met You at the Elks Lodge Bar in Queens, nyc. 1997. I asked you if you were going to WWF/ WWE to play an Angle as HBK's Brother, and you said i wish i was making HBK's Salary😂😂You were Cool Stevie.

[@thisiskris017]

Stevie is the wrestling father figure this generation desperately needs lol Such an awesome guy and Maven is a real one, best collab possible

[@KyleClarke-rs3rj]

He's a real one? You know so how? By based on what you see ON camera? Quit being a boot licker.. these 3 guys were bums in the business

[@A231989]

Love this hearing goldust vs Stevie on heat drew more 1.4 then all 3 aew shows😂

[@paulyejr]

Combined 😅

[@codesm96]

Thank you Stevie, Maven, Rene and James for this absolute BANGER of an episode. Three of my heroes straight shooting like it's target practice! I looked up to ALL of you guys and my dream has come true! I've learned so much from the content each of you guys create and your recap of experience and lessons you learned on WWE and other promotions. I will continue to tune into Cafe de Rene, Maven Huffman's channel and Stevie Richards Wrestling Analysis to see new videos and livestreams like this, trust me when I say this is the VERY best wrestling content you can find on KZbin in 2023 and for years to come!

[@milktoof3099]

Wwe has been adding Facebook short videos of maven Stevie and Rene lately I think they have come to realization

[@JesseGMan7]

Sorry Mav and Steve. Cafe is the real best wrestling podcast. The most mainstream or popular is never the best one. The real rawness of Rene and James channel makes it special.

[@MavenKHuffman]

NO APOLOGY NEEDED! I LOVE the Cafe!

[@codesm96]

@@MavenKHuffman Mave brother...just know that so many of us love you bro and yeah like you said on your latest video and this stream, screw the haters! For everyone that is loved, they will always have some that don't as you already know better than most people. Look how many of us you've influenced and inspired. You are a real one, it's an absolute honor just to watch and hear you talk about all you've learned, you're a funny dude so down to earth and bro don't hesitate to do more collabs with Stevie, Rene and some of the other boys, the possibilities are endless bro! No doubt you have already become one of the very best KZbinrs in the game, love how you always kept it real and you talking about your time in WWE reminds me of all the shows that I watched back then as a kid and you were someone I looked up to bro, I always cheered for you homie, now as a 27 year old it's so surreal seeing you absolutely take the internet by storm!

[@JesseGMan7]

@@codesm96 Buddy, calm the glazing down a few notches. They’re just dudes who eat, sleep, and fart like everyone else.

[@vijaykarunakaran1566]

​@MavenKHuffman. I love the positivity. I susubscribe to all 3 of your channels 🙏.

[@jasonnapier2942]

Without jobbers there would be no superstars. Rope work? Guess he's never seen sabu, rvd, Mysterio, hell I could go on 😂😂. Rope work 😂😂😂

[@GLPitt1]

Maven is much more interesting since his WWE stint. He was boring as hell. Dumb move by WWE throwing Tough Enough participants on TV when not ready and without any real gimmick or character.

[@experienceanimation217]

That Heat and Velocity generation wipes the floor with 99% of the aew roster

[@joshbailey8372]

I'd love a weekly Maven/Stevie podcast. They seem to balance each other out very well personality-wise. That would definitely go into my weekly podcast rotation.

[@JoeBowler-r9n]

Also Paul London & Chris Masters. Also Kid 💸 💰 cash.

[@Jungletraveler00_12]

Rene's Johnny Ace impression is on point 😂

[@KSE828]

Maven does a great one, too!

[@JoeBowler-r9n]

If you go back to ECW Television in the mid. 1990's, Stevie Richards did the Best " Baron Von Stevie" [ Baron Von Raschske] & " Big Stevie Cool" [ Kevin Nash]

[@AJRodC]

Stevie too!

[@ChaneVazquez-rx2dy]

Maven is the O.G of cookie cutter wwe wrestlers.

[@CeemPlay]

Heat was an institution. Good wrestling with underrated talents & fun segments thanks to Stevie

[@leeerskine]

Good to see Renee actually sitting up properly 😂. Please stop the digging out your teeth tho it is gross. I watch every cafe episode so say it with ❤. Great episode. Maven and Stevie are great gezzers

[@JoaquinGonzalezSmilingalways]

What a group! This is a wonderful episode Rene! 😃👍🏼

[@Profess84]

Great stream.

[@cafederene]

Thanks for coming

[@mikibaer358]

Pls induct Stevie Richards into hall of fame

[@heelgill]

1:15:30 Very, very true. A lot of wrestlers with the moveset like Dante Martin love to cater to fans by showing off their athleticism. Not a problem, but it gets too far and look how it resulted for Dante.

[@dudebud007]

is it possible for rene to get even closer to his camara ? - asking for a friend

[@wolfiewolfdog9771]

Great job guys wonderful to see all of our favorite wrestling channels together!

[@cafederene]

Thanks so much!

[@christophermilmore579]

Finally, a show where people in the wrestling industry complain about Dave Meltzer!

[@Wallym0h]

Maven talking about being a CAW but nobody more CAW than CAWdy Rhodesssthhhhh

[@boraonline7036]

Stevie explained it pretty well. Meltzer couldn't give Kurt Angle a "5 Star Match-Rating" (whatever that even means). A guy who won gold in the Olympics wit ha F-ing broken neck! That tells you everything about Meltzer

[@Fuzzie_Dunlop968]

I really enjoyed this episode. The brotherhood, laughter, and insights were thoroughly entertaining.

[@Weirzy]

Great show today, Maven and Stevie deserved all the success they have and will continue to grow! Still need to hear Stevie's perspective on the Boogeyman story though ahahha

[@jongoldau1339]

Mave and Steve podcast let's do it.. you guys are a tag team. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Edit:😂😂😂😂Hold on now... René is American... Viva La Resistancé

[@quentinbeck7035]

Bummer. Stevie forgot about the boogieman story. 😂 fun episode

[@trakficjam17]

This is the best episode I ever watched from the pro-wrestlers. You guys are awesome! 👏🏾

[@brayds89]

Amazing episode yet again guys 👏 maven, Stevey and Paul definitely on cafes Mount Rushmore !!!

[@petepachio]

This I’s best.video yet .. the trio of Richard’s Dupree sand maven should be a regular show .. Awesome job guys 👏👏💪

[@GulfCoastNihilist]

48:43 Rene: "Got two good people here tonight". *Points to Maven and Stevie.* James on the other hand???

[@GangGreen80]

Rene and james at mania

[@jpm420]

ahaa u killed me with that one rene i completely agree tho. Don't know the difference between a wristlock from a wristwatch 😂😅so damn true it hurts while I'm laughing 😆

[@Robdobalina]

Best crew and vibes. Hope you have these 2 on together again or semi regularly. Really enjoyed this episode.

[@petes1721]

Maven has been doing well I believe 🎉

[@AlanJ1993]

This was awesome, and all star cast, all i was missing was London. imagine the 4 of them lol, this is too good.

[@GentlemanLife-Beyotch]

The 'too nice guy turned ultimate ass' would be a SOLID angle for Maven. Just throwing that out there. . .

[@michaeleaton5824]

two great guests and rene and james killing it as always keep up the great work love all 4 of you

[@Chengyuan79]

Hi. From Singapore. Stopped watching wrestling decades ago, re-started when Roman Reigns is/was starting out, and quit-ed again during covid when those empty "arena"-s made it depressing ... Thought I can only take Jim Cornette videos below 20:00 (at 1.5x) trashing modern pro wrestling, but ... here I am, just finished with a 2 hour video. Felt as wholesome as fuck afterwards. Think about 1-2 months ago, youtube recommended Maven's channel to me. Watched one, liked what I saw (filled me on gaps like Tough Enough, etc) and subscribed. Made some mistakes in life (like everybody else), but own it all. Class act. Only disappointed in the one long video about Vince when nothing was said, but overall, great insight. That guy took your "advice" wrongly and started 'roids~! LOL~! 😅🤣 Anyway, so youtube started recommending Rene's videos to me. Ermm, not familiar with him actually except for the face somehow despite not watching wrestling, and the topic was Vince. I said, let's see ... Rene seems to be the realist guy here. When something is bullshit, he says it is bullshit without the positivity of Maven, and I like keeping things real too. Started watching more of Rene's videos ... like this simple Zoom or Streamyard presentation style. Everyone's faces in the same "room" vibe. Please keep it this way. Switching faces work only when a guy is going to present Powerpoint slides for 5-10 minutes on a topic (constant face switching is distracting, to say the least ...) But the guy I wanna talk about most is Stevie. Now, I am a "hardcore" Buddhist (if there is such a thing in this world), but Stevie is ... wholesome. Seems to have gone through a lot. Didnt know about the Heat. Really wanna watch how you plug those commercials in a match~! LOL~! And, full of metta (love for the world). Have the metta and presence of mind to say what you said to Chris Masters. Like, DAMN ... The world is fucked tub (it''s how we pronounce it at my side of the world), and it is apparent having strong faith helps. Christians call it God, Buddhists call it karma, but regardless, keep doing good. Wishing all 3 (and James too) and everyone reading this good health and happiness. While we all have different takes on how pro wrestling have evolved, it is what it is today. Stevie says it best - the most over shit in pro wrestling are things the People's Elbow (which started as a rib to making the Taker break character) and the Cobra, ha. I love the Cobra. I absolutely love the Cobra~! 😅 Cannot remember the other one right now ... My take is similar to what Enzo Amore (sic?) said - he based "over" on the crowds reactions and popularity, and nowadays it's not about the workers. Maybe, just maybe, Ryback is on to something when he said the Carpenters should be more adequately compensated? Anyway, we largely know it is "fake" (but still hurts like hell), so what we look out for is ... entertainment. And that's where AEW has gone all wrong. Maybe some people like those literally sick bumps, but for me, if I want "real" and blood, maybe I would prefer MMA? Finally, really looking forward to watching more videos (a collab coming?) Esp Stevie's. This is his first one I had ever watched, and again, just a wholesome human being who is able to see the funny side of life. And full of metta. Really, again, good health to all. 🙏

[@e2go]

All of these guys have done a great job on KZbin in their own way. Hope they all stay around and enjoy success for a long time.

[@enisengin2950]

Stevie is such a great guy.

[@rodneylewisjr2917]

Dr. Stevie

[@CeemPlay]

Leave Meltzer out of this guys

[@yourdashingheroidol7909]

Stevie seems like such a genuine and awesome guy! Was always a fan of his, glad to see he is a decent guy! " Did you get the memo, wrestling is fucking fake, Tony "?! Classic!

Hey I heard the bunny left aew could u guys interview her that be good interview I liked the bunny she was good I think she go to impact

Maven getting all the youngsters on the roids hahaha. Actually in tears with laughter at that one. Great video gents, superb content!!

This was so fun to watch, two of my favourite guests Maven and Stevie Richards

[@Corzza025]

Awesome stream

[@emonkazemphotography6129]

6k more subscribers till drinks with Dupree 😊

[@branhasyoutube]

Wrestling needs the federal government to get involved. It should have gotten involved after the Benoit tragedy, if you're more worried about the state of wrestling than the state of the performers in the ring when theyre out their killing themselves than you're the wrong kind of wrestling fan. Wrestling needs to broken up to where there is more places for guys to work and there needs to rules and protections in place to protect the talent

[@namelessbumpkin]

I'd love to see this become a weekly thing!

[@Naruto0s44]

Stevie Richard's and maven for wwe hall of fame

[@user-kj6sw3to4m]

These old ring generals are awesome. Well they all did what they did. But I was a super fan of Steven Richards especially in right to censor.

[@mrwednesdaynight]

This two hours went by quick. I hope all these guys make a ton of money.

[@heelgill]

Phenomenal live stream.

[@mattc528]

That was a awsome live show guys. You guys are my favorite wrestlers on KZbin. So great to hear about your stories from working in the WWE business.

[@RobertR3843]

Great show once again James! Thanks!

[@kylez33]

Great episode - please do this again

[@branhasyoutube]

Wrestling fans don't care about the performers, they act like they do but they dont. Why do you think they were complaining about TNA not bringing back the 6-sided-ring despite the fact it hurts guys. These are the same people who trash the performers for getting into drugs or dying young but you were in the crowd cheering them on for bashing their brains in

[@JosephRamous]

This was absolutely great stuff. Having you guys all together is more entertaining than anything out on AEW or WWE. This was pure gold. Anyone who’s not listening to the advice from you guys is an idiot. Keep up the incredible work work work guys much love n respect 🙏🏻❤️
