Maven Discusses Starting His YouTube Channel, If He’s Ever Gotten Heat Over His Videos

Former WWE Superstar Maven has been doing great with YouTube channel, which currently has over 735,000 subscribers. The Tough Enough winner spoke about the topic during a recent interview with Insight With Chris Van Vliet. Below are some highlights from Insight:

Maven on starting his YouTube channel: “The biggest thing to me is doing your interview led to the YouTube channel. I know you’re not going to take credit for it, but my partner, Zach, you’re the one that put me in his mind. And maybe if he doesn’t see the interview with me, he thinks of just someone else. But I always say it on my channel, out of sight, out of mind, and I think him seeing me on your channel helped tremendously. He’s admitted it to me.”

On if he’s ever gotten heat from anyone over his videos: “So one question we get almost every video we put out, shockingly, no. None I can think of. I’m looking at my partner, Zach over there. We did the AEW video, we were obviously backstage, and I told anybody we walked up to you don’t have to do anything with us. And there were a few people that were nah, kayfabe. But it wasn’t like heat, it was just I preferred not to do it, and our answer is no problem, we’ll cut the footage. But as far as hearing from anybody that Maven needs to stop what he’s doing, no, not one person.”

On the most painful move he took in his recent video: “Power Bomb, the Power Bomb still hurts, and the choke slam. You can’t fake gravity. You can’t fake the impact. Now, we had some submissions, some easy stuff. What’s Charlotte’s move? Figure eight? That hurt. Because, you know, we’re trying to knock two out at once. Brian [Myers] put the figure four on me, and then figure eight, and when he bridged back, it was immediate pain and I was like, Okay, enough. We got it.”

On potentially taking his YouTube gig full-time: “I will always hold a little bit of just loyalty, and I might get to that point where I go, yeah, you’re not gonna see me anymore, but if you need me, I’ll be there. Like a few weeks ago, every year in New York they have what’s called the Broker Fair. That one, the owner called me up, and he’s like, Hey, he’s like, Listen. He’s like, I need you. I need you to represent and 100%.”
