You've said it before, everything in wrestling is about Respect. That's the main 'currency' you have and the only thing someone else can increase or diminish as a result of their actions. Whether intentional or not, you were disrespected, lowering your perceived status. Having the wherewithal to push back against that was 100% necessary given those circumstances. You had to show that you weren't going to sit there and take it.

@boraonline7036

And still someones who beahaved as disrespectful as you can imagine in Japan, while the Internet was watching what he did, got a job as a wrestler in that very company. So I guess respects only goes as far as the boss says "I don't care". Not saying that showing respect should go out of the window. I just say it seems there are double standards going on, at least in WWE, with those respect rules.

The off script moment got a great pop too. I actually think it worked really well as storytelling- the heel looks like an asshole for trying a cocky pin, but Maven doesn't look weak because it doesn't even get a one count, and he leaps up and takes control.

I think him being a former teacher, it’s just normal & natural for him. To stand in front of students, trying to explain everything in full detail so they can understand & comprehend, translates the same as in his videos.

I am always fascinated by maven's story, Whether it being a good or a bad occasions. It's quite a journey to be a wrestler in general and you explain it very well.

Maven wearing a Dreamville T is the collab I never thought I'd see.

I am so glad you have a YT channel that shows the things that are kinda behind the scenes of wrestling since I grew up watched wrestling in late 90’s on VHS tapes but I really started watching wrestling in 2013 or 2014

Bro u are so respectful, and how you explained every part of the match and how you handle things on and off the the ring is pure sportsmanship mad respect for you 👊

Thanks for the vid Maven. You lived the dream that a lot of us had as kids and really appreciate you sharing your story. Your channel has gotten me back into wrestling.

This is a breath of fresh air in contrast to all the bruised ego beat downs and revenge plots we hear about on here. Thank you.

Hey Maven, I just wanted you to know that you are a GREAT charismatic speaker. Man, you can make anyone feel the emotions you want them to feel with any inflection of your voice. It’s stunning and I take notes of it as I speak publicly or personally to people. Thanks!!

Honestly I would love to see more videos like this where you analyze and explain what’s going on in your matches. I think it’s very cool seeing the process of how matches are broken down and how you improvise.

I couldn't help but LMAO at the reactionary clothesline to the situation. I don't think it was "Stiff" per say, but there was enough mustard on that clothesline that Maven's opponent was going down no matter what. I agree though that it was warranted

I used to think the B-shows like Heat and Velocity were where talent had a bit more leeway and creative freedom. Interesting to know the producers/road agents also had that stuff held down to the last minute detail, or at least that's the vibe I'm getting from this. Then again, this was just a couple of years after the Perry Saturn/Mike Bell incident on Metal so I'd imagine they'd had to have stepped up the control either way.

Just wanna say I love your channel, I wrestled on the independents in Vegas back in 2002 to 2006 and even though it wasn't WWE level a lot of what you say is very relatable to my experience I started in my teens and had to go above and beyond just to prove myself and get respect and learn to stand up for myself because some of the guys could be mean AF lol my trainers were legends Nick Bockwinkle and Scott Casey they were tough but actually super nice guys and I was so honored to have trainers of that level. Btw, one of my class mates at the Wrestling School was Kenny King from Tough Enough 2 lol right after the show ended he joined the school and that experience deserves a story time of itself 😂😂

I love these videos from you Maven. Definitely very articulate & expressive with your words while storytelling!

I think Masada is a case in which an outsider tries to impress but just hasn't figured out how things work here. If he was gonna lose to Mave anyways, might as well make himself look better in the process. But he just didn't understand the game rules of WWE.

Maven, everyone who grew up during the attitude/ruthless era are so thrilled to see that you are doing well and good. Keep making the youtubes, you are a treasure to professional wrestling :D

I've only ever seen Maven in the ring a few times, but he seems to have Hall Of Fame levels of experience! Love him!

Maven, I wanted to thank you for two notable things with your KZread channel. For one, I really enjoy how you break things down and explain how things happen in the match, and how things work behind the curtain as well. I also really like your method of explaining. I feel your teaching background shines through in that aspect. I recently started a job as a substitute teacher, and never really considered myself a "talker", but I had to learn quickly with this job. Your videos seem to help me figure that part out, as well. Maybe it's just because I'm more of an introvert at heart... but hey, we all can change ourselves, right? :> Thanks for reading this!

This is a cool channel, my first day watching some vids here, I'd heard somewhere Maven did not like talking or being asked about wrestling, whether that was false or he's changed his stance, I love seeing people embracing past roles/jobs and talking so positively and wholesomely about it even if it wasn't so great at times. If you can laugh and reflect on the past, it just does you good in the present and future. I will watch more. I remember this match, I'd enjoyed Masada in ROH around this time so it was fun to see him in a WWE ring. Very interesting to hear this story, as a viewer I was completely unaware of the off script parts of it and it's fun to hear the full story from laying out the match to backstage after, I was left with no questions, very satisfying story. Thanks Maven.

Last night's stream was fantastic, thank you for doing it!
