How Much Money I Got for Being in a WWE Video Game

One of the coolest parts of being a WWE wrestler is getting to be a video game. In this video, I share how I got added to the game and reveal how much WWE paid me.

[@MavenKHuffman]

I hope you guys enjoyed the video! What's your favorite wrestling video game?

[@ryanf219]

Here comes the pain

[@JoshLayug]

Loved how they got you in a video game! But Shut your Mouth and Here Comes the Pain were GOATed! Also youve been a huge inspiration to me Mav! Your still my favorite wrestler to this day ever since your journey in Tough Enough! Shout out to you!

[@MusTelOJ]

Cool fact! I'm an a video game of GCW (local indie wrestling), it's a 2d game but I have my character in it haha (I used to work there as a wrestler, not a wrestler anymore I am)

To me it's funny how rich people like MrBeast, or any youtuber, sees 30k as if it was cents. In my country I could buy an apartment with 30k lol, it's a lot of money. But of course, those people are more into the millions.

Fun fact: Maven actually has a full body scan in SVR 2006, but unfortunately he was released in 2005 so he wasn't included in the full game. However in the earlier builds of the game you can find him and Luther reigns as playable characters!

[@HangmanHorror]

same goes for Day of Reckoning 2

[@austinwinston684]

If they "find" maven, does he still get paid? Maven, did they pay you for those games?

[@dreammatch2000]

*@JoeWatts98* Man, I thought that was a fever dream. I had SVR '06 on the Xbox 360 with Cena and Batista on the cover, I would have sworn up and down Maven was in the game. He had on the greens tights during his heel run before he left. Maybe, he was unlockable character in the career mode? I'm not sure. I don't think I used the CAW option either. Plus, SVR '06 still had Luther Reigns haircut/beard and finishing move.

[@cosmic_JAV]

This channel is everything that it promises to be. Never any click bait, interesting insider info of the business, stories that arent shoots or burying other wrestlers, charismatic host, and to top it off Mave is hilarious. I use to not be entirely sure if he was actually funny or if his producer just wrote a great script. But after seeing the blooper reel, its safe to say Maven is the funniest SOB and thats the bottom line.

[@myfinalheaven9590]

Maven rocking the Playstation 2. Love it. Also, hearing Howard Finkel announcing, a hit of nostalgia

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

The Fink is so beloved that modders of the recent 2K games have actually put together audio packs of his voice to replace as many existing call names as possible. It's a tedious and time-consuming process to get it working but it's pretty sweet when it does.

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

Yeah cuz PS5 doesn’t have backwards compatibility like Xbox does 😏

[@RiasatSalminSami]

@@NewNormalWorldOrder Xbox doesn't have backwards compatibility for almost half of the games. Most of the yearly licensed games aren't backwards compatible either, that would mean most of the WWE games.

So even if there's 100 more games including Maven, he wouldn't get paid more.

Hey Maven. I am truly enjoying all the content you have put out thus far. Back when you were still in WWE, I was still in my late teens in the Philippines, and my cousins and I watched smackdown and raw every week on cable without missing any episode. I have to admit, embarrassing as it may be, back then I never really appreciated you enough being in the ring as my attention was focused on Batista, Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, and Eddie Guerrero. However, I am proud to say that I have become a big fan because of your videos on youtube. I appreciate your humility, eloquence, and gift of telling your experiences that really connects with me, and in the process giving me a new perspective of what went on in the world that fascinated me in my teens and throughout my mid 20s.
