Maven Responds To Claim He Didn't Pay His Dues In WWE

Today at 03:23 AM

During a recent interview with “Wrestling Shoot Interviews,” Maven responded to the notion that he didn’t pay his dues in wrestling. He said,

“Still hear it about, ‘Ah, well you guys just didn’t pay your dues.’ 20 years in the business and I still have to hear how we didn’t pay our dues. Which, okay … the one thing I ask is show me the wrestler who if given that opportunity says, ‘Nah, I’d rather be wrestling down at the VFW for $10 this weekend in a Ford Focus filled with 5 other sweaty wrestlers.’ Ain’t nobody.”

Maven joined WWE in 2001 by winning the first-ever season of Tough Enough by outlasting Josh Matthews and Chris Nowinski in the finals.

In the interview, Maven shared that while he is friendly with WWE today, he believes his unlikely arrival in the company is still an issue for some. He said,

“If I pass Hunter today and shake hands and we see each other, we’re cordial, ‘Hey man, it’s good to see,’ I guarantee you in his mind he still hates the way I got in the business. Hates it.”

Maven recently recalled being considered for the Evolution stable before plans changed. Click here to find out more.
