Retired WWE superstar Maven became the talk of the WWE town back in the day after winning the inaugural edition of Tough Enough in 2001. He not only established himself as one of the most promising fighters in WWE at the time but also gave a hard time to many prominent superstars of that era, including The Undertaker. He began a storyline with Taker after eliminating him from the 2002 Royal Rumble by a deceiving kick from behind.
Despite his quick success with the promotion, Maven quickly faded from WWE and is now currently competing on the independent circuit. In addition to this, he also runs his YouTube channel, where he recently revealed in a video that legendary WWE superstar The Rock was upset after one of Maven's segments with the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H, at the time.
What The Rock suggested Maven
The incident unfolded in 2003, after Maven was scheduled for a match against the Game on Monday Night Raw following a fiery argument. As everyone had expected, Triple H won that game, and Maven was defeated in a rather uneventful match. The match caught the attention of 'the most electrifying man in sports entertainment' at the time who expressed his disappointment how that match concluded.
"Following this match, The Rock would actually pull me aside and just voice his displeasure, tell me he didn’t just appreciate the way I was jobbed out, the fact that I was squashed, and said, ‘Business has to be done a different way.’ He didn’t appreciate, he didn’t like the way Hunter just pretty much used me. I wasn’t in a position to where I could say anything. I was just happy to be on the damn show,” he admits, ‘but the fact that Rock took the time to tell me, ‘Hey, man, I don’t like what he did," Maven explained in the video.
He also mentioned that Rock had promised they would collaborate for a match together once he finished filming one of his movies. Maven expressed his admiration for Rock's support, stating that it meant the world to him.
