What happened to Maven?

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

I wasn't watching wrestling around this time but I read somewhere he along with Orton was poised to be the top dudes in 2003/2004 and I knew he won Tough Enough. He had everything, solid work, look, theme, athleticism. Why didn't it pan out for him? Was it because ? Help me understand why this dude wasn't more successful.

From 1wrestling, by way of 411.com:

WWE management is currently very high on Maven and feels that he and Randy Orton are RAW's top two young guys. The general feeling is that Maven came in very green but has learned a lot. Therefore, WWE management will likely continue to push him hard.

I can see my fantasy I'm so consumed in bed.
What I see takes over me I'm blind beyond repair.
It takes a hold of me so tight a grip that does not give.
And when she's done she throws me out like junk left in a shelf.​

.... Dude works as a bouncer in NYC I think if I recall... But I could be pulling a Meltzer

He was a solid worker? Jesus fukking Christ, the revisionist history up in TSC the last few weeks

Edit: I'm the biggest only Maven stan on TSC the internet but there's no fukking way you can call him a solid worker, dude had one of the GOAT dropkicks but that's it

Why'd they release his contract though? Sounds like he could have been another Rock. Maybe not as good but he could have been booked like Rocky 2.0.

I feel like he could have been a good wrestler if they gave him time to mature his skills. Like what they're doing with Reigns now.

Ain't he on HSN?

Last I saw him he was flirting with a tranny on that celebrity reality show years ago.

But why would they care to do that if they also had Orton cena Brock Batista and Kennedy on the new roster

i dont think he could do anything about his voice/accent. it just never sounded cool. he always just came off as a good hearted momma's boy..which is ok in real life but not so much in the ring.

I’m a firm believer that every wrestler has Stans.
