Former WWE star Maven recently appeared on The False Finish to talk about a number of topics, including his audition tape for the first season of WWE Tough Enough back in 2001.
Maven said, “Oh brother, it’s so cringe-worthy. I have it. It’s so cringey. Here’s what I did — I’m sitting at a table, inside mind you, with sunglasses on. I’m reading, you can’t tell what I’m reading, but I was reading [PWTorch]. I’m reading the Torch, that was my Christmas present my mom got me one year. I put the Torch down, my main goal was to prove that I had wrestling knowledge and explain why the WWE needed me and why I was their next breakout star. That was my goal.”
