Maven Recalls Experience as Raw GM For a Night In 2004

Maven had a one-night stint as the General Manager of Raw back in 2004, and he recently looked back at the experience. The then-WWE star earned a night as the GM as the stipulation for the 2004 Survivor Series elimination match where he, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit defeated Triple H, Batista, Edge and Gene Snitsky. Maven spoke about the night as GM in his latest YouTube video and you can see highlights below (h/t to Wrestling Inc):

On being heavily featured on the episode: “I’m more nervous than I had ever been in my entire life, including my first match on Smackdown against Taz and the reason being, a normal Monday Night Raw for me consisted of about a six-minute match and maybe a small promo … on this night it would be different, we split our shows up into segments and it’s usually 14 to maybe 16 segments make up an entire Monday Night Raw … I found myself in I think it was 11 of the segments.”

On what he was told backstage: “Did I truly have any input? The answer is no. I was given a promo sheet, I was given all the matches, they definitely weren’t listening to who I thought should be in matches. In fact, I had no clue what the matches were going to be until they handed me the piece of paper.”
