Former WWE star Maven recently appeared on an episode of his Ask Me Anything show on his YouTube channel. In it, he discussed a number of topics, including battling imposter syndrome during his WWE career.
Maven said, “I have to be honest with you, I probably had imposter syndrome my entire time I was in the WWE. There was never a day that I walked into that locker room and didn’t have that little bit in the back of my mind, thinking, ‘Man, I don’t know if I belong in here.’”
On other wrestlers feeling that way:
“I’ve talked to other guys who I’d be in the car with, and we were big, silly kids. We just didn’t feel like we were at the top of our profession, but we were. I think everybody, when you get to a specific level, has a little bit of imposter syndrome. That’s just self-doubt creeping in. WWE wrestlers are certainly no different.”
