I dont even care about pro wrestling and havent for 15 years. But I watch Mavens videos. This is how big of a leap he's taken for pro wrestling. If he returned to pro wrestling i'd watch his return.

[@DiverCityDC]

The world NEEDS more of Chris' radio voice. That was priceless. 😂 20:47

[@stupidamgeit]

Maven is so humble and I think that makes him so popular. He constantly claims he isn’t good or even decent. The man literally won a reality TV show, got on the mat with some of the greatest and was given a title 3 times in a row. He overcame the criticism of his peers and made it work. Much respect for this man.

[@2yLiteThaTitan]

I know I've said this before, but man, you guys are just so great together and should have your own show as co-hosts.

[@Carribeancool]

[@richardu]

The charisma of Maven is always crazy to see because I doubt many of us thought he had that quality as a wrestler. But he clearly does, and I hope it gets him something with the WWE, as he's becoming a face for wrestling.

[@marcushopkins8558]

My only criticism to Maven is he’s way too humble ! Haha he never gives himself credit! Maven, no matter how big of an impact you had in the wwe you are crushing the KZbin game! If you’re not gonna give yourself credit, I will! Maven is killing it, love his videos.

[@johntrad806]

[@Ltnluv23]

Another great interview Chris. One suggestion, if this is YOUR studio, you should have the guest sit where you’re sitting (with the rocky background) and you in front of the acoustic panels. It emphasizes the fact that it’s your studio, and the guest has a more “natural” background.

[@BourbonInhibitions]

Love Maven's channel. I am a huge 90s-early 2000s wrestling fan but didn't have cable growing up, mostly played the games, and didn't even know who he was until I came across his channel. I've been rewatching WCW and WWF/E from 1993 on through Peacock for a few years now when I can. I've also watched almost every video Maven's released in the past year or so. Awesome guy with great insight into the industry back when it was at its peak. He has been through some stuff and came out better for it when he could easily gone the other way and I will always applaud and respect him for that.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Peacock edits a lot of stuff out from original episodes.

[@aprev039]

Maven’s impression of CVV at 18:46 is spot on 😂

[@ShadmehR_23]

[@seigi7334]

Haven't watch wrestling in 15+ years, neither followed Maven's wrestling career , yet I binged 90% of Maven's content. Great persona, I'm happy to see him gathering attention.

[@billybatson22]

It's always nice to see good things happen to good people and that's how I feel about Maven. Good for him. Speaking of good people, another great video CVV!

[@landonmiles97]

What sets Maven apart is the honesty. A lot of guys will sugarcoat the controversial topics. Maven dives in head first with a complete, raw honesty.

[@mewgiah8057]

Maven needs to give himself more credit. I was a diehard wrestling fan in my childhood but stopped watching it when I hit 18. I hadn’t watched the sport in over 15 years. However Maven’s KZbin channel not only got me interested in the WWE again but it got me watching wrestling again. His videos are so interesting and authentic. And I actually think he could have been a bigger star had he been able to do KZbin while wrestling. Because I see so many people in the comments going “I wasn’t a fan of Maven back in the day but now he’s one of my favorite wrestlers” or “I never knew he was this great of a guy. I really wish he was still wrestling”. We just didn’t get to see his real personality until now. I know he’s extremely humble and wouldn’t ever blame anyone but himself for his career. But I really do think he was wasted potential. However now he’s completely revived his career and he’s really re-energizing the sport in a big way. I really hope the WWE brings him back on as a commentator. Dude should be hosting their behind the scenes content and being incorporated in live recordings doing back room interviews etc. Seriously he’s such a star and they are missing out. But yeah he’s way too hard on himself. Although I do respect that he doesn’t have an inflated ego.

[@DoubleLogD]

As someone who screwed the pooch on a bunch of my own opportunities, I bet he is right that he didn't try hard enough. Not to say he isn't talented (those dropkicks are legit clean af), but if management sees everyone else at his level trying super hard to learn, and he's not trying as hard, that does tend to send a message that, even if he's more talented, he will top out lower than other guys for not pushing himself. That being said, you're right that Maven has CLEARLY worked on himself and grown a lot.

[@Dryden-n]

I remember working at Amazon and someone telling me they met Maven when he was working at a club as a bouncer, and that he had a bad experience when being up WWE. It may have been the way he said it or that it’s just at the lowest point in his career. I’m so happy for him now, he seems like such a humble person and someone that just loves life and sharing his experience with the fans. Thank you Maven.

[@LavaDemon66]

I love Maven's youtube channel. I can't get enough of all the cool wrestling stuff that he talks about and the behind the scenes that he gives on the wrestling business when he was there.

[@xinjango6791]

omg, the chemistry! I think this is the best CVV interview.

[@paulwenceslao4122]

What a personality. I love Maven and his channel. I kinda feel bad to not appreciate him back when he was in the WWE but boy did he turn me into a fan when I stumbled upon his KZbin channel.

Let’s go! Maven’s back! I’ve been loving watching his video. Behind the scenes stuff has always been cool to me and his channel gives insight to how the WWE operates

[@carlosvida517]

Maven is such a great communicator. The way he uses the language, his tone of voice, the emotion that he measures as he speaks... I truly believe that wrestling was just one path that he used in his early life but his true calling is to communicate and connect through the use of language. If you ever read this Maven, keep going, keep expressing, and thank you!!!

[@mikegeyer4138]

I'm not a real wrestling fan (was back in 80s FL championship wrestling etc and very early 90s) but I love Maven's channel. The "behind the scenes" insight is a fascinating look into the life of a wrestler.

Maven got owned with the radio voice lol. Chris is the real deal. Great interview guys. Big fan of both. Hope you two link up for future interviews.

[@songoten7600I]

Good guy Maven, I can tell you right now the reason why I enjoy Maven so much. He takes me back to a time when TV was fun. I guess the dawn of the reality era. As a '90s kid I absolutely love real world, road rules, extreme challenge. Next, elimidate. I remember watching every single episode of tough enough Actually rooting for Maven. Memories that are over 20 years old. When I see Maven nowadays it just makes me so happy seeing that he still has such a kinetic energy. I'm going to keep rooting for this dude
