Maven says his comments about how no one trusted Triple H backstage during his time drew some gratitude from former talent. As you may recall, Maven drew some attention when he made the comments while watching and reacting to WWE: Unreal and saying that no one beyond Shawn Michaels trusted Triple H during the period that Maven was in WWE. He was asked about the comments during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, and you can see the highlights below (per Fightful):
On former talent reaching out to him about the comments: “I’m not going to say who, but I had at least five wrestlers reach out to me and thank me for what I said. Non-active [wrestlers].”
On Triple H’s mind for wrestling: “Everybody knew backstage — I didn’t mean to break news or whatever, but people knew Hunter and what he was positioning himself for, which is what he’s got now. But, I don’t want to act like he didn’t deserve it or he didn’t earn it. He does. You’re never going to find a better or more intelligent mind when it comes to professional wrestling than Triple H. He’s earned every right that he has. But, if people want to act like guys backstage felt different, okay, that’s their opinion. I see it differently.”
