Former WWE star Maven took to his YouTube channel to discuss various topics, including his 2004 RAW main event match with Triple H.
Maven said, “The only thing I wanted for this night was to not make him look stupid. I wanted to raise my game to his level. I wanted to look like I belonged. He shouldn’t have had to call the entire match move for move, that’s just proof that I wasn’t ready to be in the position that I was in. So it comes to no surprise that this would be the last time I would be in the main event. I wasn’t ready.”
On being able to work with Triple H:
“Hunter’s good. Hunter has the ability to turn it on and off. He can go from character mode to back to being just Hunter. He’s an easy one to do any pre-tapes or any promos or anything with. I wish I would have had an opportunity to do much more with him during my career.”
On possibily making his return to WWE:
“I would like to think that a return is a slight possibility, but I also have to recognize my age, and I have to recognize just how different the company is now, as opposed to when I left 20 years ago. Yeah, that’s right, it’s been 20 years since I was not only in a WWE ring but working for the WWE under any capacity. If they were planning on doing something with me, a seed would have taken hold, taken root, and an idea would have sprouted up already. Although, if they called, I’d answer the phone.”
On potentially joining AEW:
“Just like my answer with WWE, I would answer if they called. They have not called, so I have no plans on going to AEW. I also think that at this point in my life, being 48 years old. My in-ring days, they’re behind me. So that would mean going to, whether it be WWE or AEW, I would be more of a commentary or a managerial role. Those jobs are hard to come by, and I know a lot of the talking heads that are currently on both programs. They do a great job. They would have to see an opening, an opening that they thought I fit, and at the moment, they just don’t see it. Does it bother me? Not really. Actually, I kind of understand.”
