Early into my WWE career, I got put into a storyline with The Undertaker. In this video, I pull back the curtain and reveal what was happening in the ring and what was going on backstage.

Maven you were and still are underrated in WWE history.
Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you!
not gonna Lie maven that chair is probably in the wwe showroom or whatever it's called you should call about it
Maven if you wrote a book, not only would I buy it, but I would want you to narrate the audio book. You just have that voice.
Can u please tell us more secrets maven I can listen to you all day
For real some voice acting or something
Maven-382K Subs
Undertaker-312K Subs
Maven giving Taker a rub, such a class act
It's nice to see Maven put the new talent over like that, eh? 😂
@@Totally-Not-A-RobotI could see this Taker guy getting over one day…
@@MjDudz99Taker has so much talent but he only started picking up when he got older.
2 hours after you post your comment and Mave is now at 383k subs lol
This is the best comment ever
Who wants the undertaker on Maven's Channel?
I'm sure Teddy Long can make that official 😂
😂@@ogodisengselokela8571
Rest in peace
@@ogodisengselokela8571Tonight, you will go one-on-one... with The Undertaker.
Make it a tag team match
Working with Taker, Rock, Angle, Triple H and Earl Hebner in their primes.
You're so lucky dude, it's an incredible story.
💯
@@MavenKHuffmanhey Maven, I wrote this in under another comment, but any other Mr Perfect stories? I didn't realize he was still alive when you started. Imo #2 all time behind Bret Hart.
Nah they lucky to work wit maven
In an alternate timeline this feud continued and Maven ended the streak at wrestle mania
Multi Verse
Honestly that would have been amazing
“Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. And I am the advocate for the Tough Enough Incarnate. The Conquerer of the Undertaker’s Streak:
MMMMMMMMMMMAVEN… HUFFMAN”
Into the Mavenverse
I would still take it over Brock Lesnar
You and Taker should definitely have a podcast episode or something if there's ever a chance of that happening! love the content man!
I’m in if he is. I would love that
Hit him up man! He'd definitely want to fill some content on his podcast!
For sure ! It'd be really cool.
@@MavenKHuffman why don't u ask him?
Yes please!!!🙏🏽
Maven looks like he's about to tell you the three keys to be successful
Maybe he will? 🤷♂️
😂 I will one day!
I hope so
1. Dropkick
2.
3. Profit
Very Dave Ramsey like😂😂😂
i will forever always be appreciative of how maven immediately gets straight to the point once the video starts
I try to end em without much filler too! I try to NOT do the things I dislike other videos
@@MavenKHuffman much like how the video is presented and the content you provide, it all feels genuine so its very pleasing to watch as a viewer. if i could subscribe to you twice, i would because your youtube channel is *genuinely* fantastic, sir
Maven should be hired by WWE commentary. Pre-show, post-show, backroom interviews, guest announcer.. just hire him and get him involved. This guy is good!
I wouldn’t mind if he replace Pat McAfee
Taker really stood on business by falling over the top ropes from that dropkick. Props.
...huh?
@@chase5298he is talking about when Maven kicks Taker over the ropes and doing it all like a pro and not being a weiner.
@@chase5298yeah as in taker did it to help promote tough enough and maven to help elevate the business.
That’s the difference between Hogan and Taker. Taker is a true company man and Hogan is something else
A rare moment where two Wrestlers put each other over outside the ring.
I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid but kinda grew out of it, Maven is 100% responsible for me even being remotely interested in it again. WWE needs to start throwing money at this man and quick
RUclips and sponsors are. He's doing well
Same here, Maven's vids have brought me back into the fold after 20 years away.
Now that you say that it got me thinking, I was watching it all these Maven videos. Then decided to watch Raw, just to see the Rocks return, then wrestlemania 40. I probably wouldn't have even cared if it wasn't for maven relaunching stored memories from the past
Totally agreed. I love this channel
I stopped watching it in 2006
Man, my mom ordered this Royal rumble for my birthday. I'm January baby, so between 98-03. My mother would order each Royal rumble for me, and I would invite all the neighborhood friends and kids over to watch. I will never forget the reaction in the room when you eliminated undertaker.😂😂😂 BROTHER THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES. I cannot wait to see what the future brings to you.
Of course, so what is your take ? Maven could not be eliminated by the other taker since technically undertaker was eliminated first correct
The fact that Taker was so willing to run a program with you fresh off Tough Enough really speaks to how much he cares about this business and elevating the young guys… it must be so cool to say that you feuded with the best to ever lace em up!
Keep it coming Mave, your vids are getting better and better!
He was offered a feud where he wouldn't have to bump or put someone over clean. It was hardly some sacrifice.
@@alphanerd7221 I disagree. Taker was a marquis main eventer and had zero to benefit from starting a feud with Maven- he did it to bring up Tough Enough and to Maven as a legit wrestler. Not only did he let Maven eliminate him from the Rumble, but he also let Maven pin him 123 for the hardcore title (even if Rock intervened, so what? Maven winning clean over taker would be completely not believable). Undertaker was taking all the risk, because one bad booking decision in their feud could’ve seriously damaged his own credibility.
@@MattMiz554 I clearly irrefutably laid out two absolute benefits from feuding with Maven.
Maven winning over Undertaker clean would have been believable if they did it. It's much more believable than him losing to Mysterio. Undertaker was a rookie that came in and beat the world champ. They could have pushed Maven. He was one of the top 5 athletes in the company at the time.
Undertaker had no risk. Not physically, not to the rep of his character.
Bro you just need someone to hire you to be a storyteller or narrator.
Yea, he should hire himself. Totally agree
He is just fine. Its better this way because he is telling it like he sees it
dude, they need to put him up there at the desk with Big-E.
@@nocheckmarkgames Need to have him pulling Raw commentary with Pat Mcafee.
👌
Just another example of Taker giving back to the business by building credibility for the younger guys. This is why his spot as an all time great will never be challenged and will never be questioned. He is the standard
💯
6:02-6:18 watching Maven’s genuine happiness with that moment is a big time vibe!!
He looks so proud of that moment and justifiably so! That dropkick was perfect! I popped so hard watching that live, so I can only imagine how great he was feeling that night.
“Cool as a cucumber”…pretty funny considering Taker 🤣
Surely we get a six feet under podcast featuring maven
🤞🏽
It would be gold having Maven and Taker one a podcast.
@@nuduce123 be a dream podcast
I love that maven said taker was cool as a cucumber 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Dude, don’t say cucumber around Taker. He hates those. 😋
the Rock coming out to help Maven win over Undertaker must’ve been such a moment, seeing as the Rock was his favorite wrestler.
"I'm laying there in a pool of my own blood just relieved." This terrific quote could only be born from professional wrestling and be completely true.
Who knew feuding with a legend could also come with a hair loss treatment sponsorship?
😂😂😂
For a bald guy too! Lol
😂😂😂😂
He wants to bring the Deadman's hair back to life 🤣
@MavenKHuffman I love your channel I always watch your videos
I really appreciate the 30 - 40 mn format. Thank you Maven.
Love from France.
❤🇫🇷
@@MavenKHuffmanno one loves France
Maven shouting taker out at the end is classy and full of respect gotta love it
The look of pure joy Maven gets when he watches that drop kick, is priceless.
Waiting for Maven to talk about losing his shoe at the ROW battle royal 😂
Same😂 was looking for this comment to make sure I wasn’t the only one who seen it
He never gonna trust that shoes again.
😂😂😂
Wow yeah, that would be interesting
Maybe that was part of that drop kick spot. Jump so high he jumped out of his shoes!
Aye! This day is 100x better since Maven uploaded
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good story about the color.
I remember an interview with Bret, where Bret said he had to gig Austin at WM13 because Austin didn't know how.
Bret and Taker seem like the only two exceptions to give you color if you don't know how to yourself.
I'll never forget this storyline as young wrestling fan and youth athlete at the time I was so excited and concerned for you Maven. Thanks for letting us in on a great time!
6:05 Maven activated inner child excitement....and I'm here for it
Me too!!!! My smile is genuine as I watch this spot I have seen 10 BAZILLION TIMES
@@MavenKHuffman not gonna lie man, same....The spot, J.R. on the call, Takers sell, everything was perfect.
This face, this smile. You Can see how Maven is proud of this moment of his life. Awesome
@@badstrock835 💯 for real
I know Maven Is considered a midcarder, but man havin a feud with the Undertaker, being part of a tag match with Triple H, Kurt Angle AND the Deadman himself, three of the greatest of all time, all while being Hardcore Champion. What a great midcard career if yo ask me.
Agreed but if WWE brings him back now I believe he can add to that legacy be it a manager or an every now and then in ring competitor
If Maven rejoins WWE at this point he would get such a massive push that it would totally change his life
@@Mobro_3904 I think Maven has made it clear he’s done with the ring. I would LOVE to see him as a manager or a commentator though.
@@regancorbett1562 Fr Maven on Tv in anyway is good enough for me actually being a general Manager would be probably the most perfect role for him
Another hit by Maven. Disecting such a career defining moment and showing his respect to "Taker. Funny story- I was at an unusually empty Newark airport one morning in 2012 waiting for my flight home when I caught a climpse of the Dead Man himself walking by dressed as you would have seen him on TV in the American Bad ass era- in black biker attire; sleeveless black shirt, black jeans, etc. I looked at him with that suprised "Oh I know you!" look and as cool as he could be just gave me 'the stare'. His head turning ever so slowly, those unblinking eyes locked on to mine as his body glided by on his way to the concourse. Any words that might have come from my mouth was instantly frozen in place. Just one of those cool memories.
27:04 “We touched tips…”
I’m dyin over here 🤣
Whoever edits these videos is professional, It's enjoyable Also kanes reaction on that choke slam lmao
I do!!!! Hahahah… nah, these would suck on a level you can’t imagine if it w as me. I HAVE A GREAT TEAM! So talented
@@MavenKHuffman We can imagine it. We've seen other wrestlers RUclips shows. Lonely girl 57 looking rumor mill complaining shows.
You're tops man.
You heard the man, internet. Do your thing and find the chair.
Im 29 years old from Ecuador and i had the honor to see your feud with the undertaker as a kid. Now as a man i have nothing but respect for you Maven. You did it! You achieved the dream of every wrestling fan. Congratulations for everything you have achieved so far and im pretty sure that in the coming years life has some uncut gems waiting for you.
After watching a few of these videos, Maven sounds like a nice and down to earth guy. Humble, real, talkative and charismatic. Nice to see people who don't let the fame hit their head and can speak of their career without ego and admit their mistakes. Not many of those today.
Man if you missed that drop kick….😂
OMGOODNESS!!!!! I know!!! I can’t even imagine what I would have done
@@MavenKHuffman January 21st 2002: "WWF wishes Maven all the best in his future endeavors" 😅
@@DoodlesGaming😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did you ever see where Shaggy 2 Dope from ICP went to drop kick Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit at one of their shows and missed lol
You knocked it out of the park @@MavenKHuffman
Maven really explained it greatly. He really deserves to be remembered
Maven is a legend, im 36 now don't watch the current product, but man i watched every single show from late 90's until 2006/7 ish, im from the UK so it was always recorded on VHS for when i was home from school as was always on early hours here, all i can say is thanks for been a massive part of my growing up! got me threw some hard times in my life.
The product is better than ever now. Should revisit
Maven trynna sell that keeps sponsorship is legendary lamao. Cracks me up everytime, I usually skip sponsors but i always watch his 😂.
The mythical God of the WWE= The Undertaker. He blessed you with a career. I am a simple person. I see your video, I immediately like it. 😊
🙏🏽🙏🏽 I like the way you do business!
Really hoping that WWE finds a way to utilize Maven behind the scenes in the near future. He belongs in the business and while idk where he’d want to fit in, he could add so much
Thank you Taker! And big props to you for shouting out his pod. Love your content man.. honestly some of the best wrestling content out rn
Maven, I know you wanted the chair as a memento but damn the popcorn machine spot was the most memorable part of Taker’s attack to me. Imagine the shattered popcorn machine in the backdrop of your videos.
I'm pretty sure people forgot that The Undertaker took you back to the ring to eliminate you. In Royal Rumble you can be eliminated in any way possible. You can eliminate yourself (like Drew Carey did in 2001 Rumble or Andre the Giant did in 1989 Rumble), you can be eliminated by someone who is already eliminated (like you being eliminated by The Undertaker, who was already eliminated by you), you can be eliminated by someone who is not in the match (like The Undertaker was eliminated by Giant Gonzalez in 1993 Rumble or John Cena was eliminated by The Miz in 2011 Rumble (and it wasn't even planned, it was an audible called after Alex Riley was eliminated before he could eliminate John Cena from the match), you can be even eliminated by multiple people (like Viscera in 2007 Rumble, it took 9 people to work together for an elimination, it's still a record to this very day for the men's rumble, because it took 11 girls to work together to eliminate Nia Jax from 2023 Rumble, that's the rumble record for sure.).
Thank you for your reply. Look like you did some research. 🙏🏽
@@MavenKHuffman I remembered most of the facts that I wrote about, with some I just was making sure that I remember the year (like with Andre, I wasn't sure if it was 1989 or 1988).
There was an exception to the rule "you can't eliminate yourself". In 1992 Macho Man eliminated Jake and then jumped over the ropes to deliver more of a beating and then Macho Man got back in the Rumble afterwards. The commentators even acknowledged it and said "You have to be thrown over the top rope."
@@j.p.walkman9671 not necessarily, Mil Mascaras and Ahmad Johnson both eliminated themselves in the 1997 Royal Rumble
Edit: I originally stated 1996, but it was 97 when Stone Cold won after being originally eliminated by Bret Hart
@@jaybird455 yep they kept changing the rules. lol.
Mr. Maven, I am so glad I ran across your channel big man. I grew up in the 80s with wrestling and kept on watching until 96. I got married and we had a baby, so my playing days were over.
The one thing that always bothered me about wrestling. The WWF and WCW were making tons of money. Yet the wrestlers that make in possible didn't get very much. Well, unless your name was Hogan or Andre The Giant. I remember watching Ron Simmons win the World Title and that was a great day for wrestling.
Ron Simmons was huge man. The man looked like Michael Angelo CARVED him from marble. Yeah, Hogan was large, but Ron had the definition that some people only dream of.
I really love your RUclips channel man and now I'm trying to go back and watch what all has happened since I quit watching. Thank you for that. Take care and I wish you and everyone else the very best.
I love the genuine excitement you showed when you landed that kick. Good job. I'm binging your content. So good!
The moment Maven eliminated The Undertaker is a literally asking for a beating. Maven eliminating The Undertaker was amazing and the reaction of The Undertaker was priceless 😂
A feud between the greatest wrestler of all time and the undertaker.
6:13 mavens face says it all
The sense of pride
You are such a gifted storyteller Maven. It's always such a treat getting these insights into your career, thanks for sharing!
And for that playa, you’re going one on one with the UNDATAKA!
🤣🤣
The dropkick to The Undertaker was a moment that will forever be engraved in my memory. Thank you Maven for a literal unforgettable memory! ❤
Absolutely impossible to dislike this man, such a great storyteller and every video he does is quality. Great content keep it coming maven💪👍
Maven, thank you for bringing positive and fun stories from the ring! You should definitely do your own show called Light Side of the Ring!
That fan calling out the color to his buddy was a great catch...by the fan and by you for catching that in the breakdown. I love and appreciate the commitment to teaching the audience. Youre great
🙏🏽 I had someone bring that to my attention a few years back. A fan showed me
@MavenKHuffman thats awesome. Thank you for bringing that to our attention as well. I enjoyed the detail. Also, I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me!
Dude you're my favorite wrestling channel, I appreciate your genuine love of everything and respect for the industry
🙏🏽 thank you so much. I do love the business, and love sharing my experiences
Ma dude, I enjoy your videos. It's si cool seeing you going through your great moments and your bad moments. Thank you for this channel.
Maven is starting to become one of my favorite wrestling and or sports entertainers of all time. Been happily subscribed and loving the content. Well spoken and a positive attitude. I learn a lot too I believe. Thanks buddy you're rocking it😎💪🏻
Wish you had that chair still too dang. I'd say have someone specially make and duplicate it but I know it wouldn't be the same!
This rivalry began with an iconic spot.
So much respect for the Undertaker for helping a noob get his strips. It shows such great character 🤙🏼
I remember when I watched maven debut and the first thing I thought was “damn, them eyebrows just don’t quit” 😭 love the channel
FACTS!!!!😂
One of my favourite moments from the Rumble 03 spot was Kane's reactions in the corner. The little head shake, the arm swing. As much as the moment was closure for you and Taker, it still showed the history of Taker and Kane.
That chair finisher taker did ended up making Shut Your Mouth later that year lol. Didn’t know this was the origin of it.
Love that chair gulletine. Recreated it in the backyard back in the day
I Hope whoever took it survived it😂@@jimmyrolls37
Most of my CAWs used that move.
Maven's videos
50% memories
50% saying the Word "NOW".
Love your content
He keeps me hooked up.. I didn’t watched his WWE.. didn’t even know him but these contents are better than fake WWE. I love these
Hey Maven, there have been instances where an eliminated person eliminated someone from the Royal Rumble. The one that comes to mind for me is the '97 Rumble where Austin eliminated Bret Hart, Undertaker, and Vader even Stone Cold was eliminated by Bret before that.
One of the things that contributed heavily to the disaster that was the ECW Mass Transit incident was that Eric Kulas asked New Jack to give him his colour as, much like Maven, he’d never done it before. New Jack screwed up, bit too deep, and severed two arteries in the kid’s head, causing him to pass out momentarily. New Jack asked if he was ok and Kulas said yes, leading to The Gangstas beating the heck out of him more and worsening the cut, nearly killing him. Which is a very good reason for why you want to be in control of your own blade job.
New Jack was a psycho though
I’d trust the dead man over new jack any day of the year
saying Taker is "Cool as a cucumber" is a bold thing to say hahahaha
"up to this point, im having a blast" immediately into the chair shot🤣🤣
Honestly I would like more videos with in depth talk about a lot of the main feuds you had in WWE
Maven you had me dying at the part, "but maven I don't want people to know I use keeps" 😂 love your content keep it up brother.
Love the end of the video... MAVEN helping TAKER with his YT channel... Full circle
Love the video Maven , was waiting for this one!
Love ur content and the way u pull back the curtain and discuss WWE like not too many people can do… also loved ur surprise rumble appearance in ROW… hell of a drop kick and losing the shoe was just the icing on the cake 😂 keep up the great videos tho brotha much respect
That’s pretty much the dropkick that made time stand still for a second. I remember that rivalry and it was a decent one too. Definitely brought you out your shell maven.
Stopped watching WWE around 2013 but your content is genuinely so entertaining i can't stop watching
Theirs many wrestlers with longer careers and maybe more accolades.. but very few can say they had an iconic "Moment"... and for that Maven is a Legend.
I do miss you in the wrestling world. But so glad that you are doing the RUclips thing. I cant wait for the next video
Really enjoying these videos breaking down feuds. Would love to see more! Especially some stuff on your heel run!
Maven, my man. You’ve got to be doing audio book readings. You have an awesome voice for the job.
Thanks for the recap. I'm reliving my teen years. This was the best time and this Rumble was infamous and will live on forever! You guys had me good when it happened.
I was at the smackdown show where you defeated the Undertaker. It was my very first live WWF show, I was 16, feels so long ago.. Thanks for the memories
Always loved the callback spot in the 2003 rumble where you thought you had him again
You're a Legend Maven
That look Undertaker gives when Maven comes out is like "you gotta be kidding, this'll be easy peazy".
Another great video! This is definitely one of my favorite wrestling channels. Love the inside look at these moments during that era...keep the content coming!
And we gotta get WWE Most Wanted Treasures to find that chair and bring it home to Maven!
That chairshot became an iconic part of Undertaker’s titantron too
It did? I love learning new things cause I had no clue
@@MavenKHuffman Sure is. I used him all the time in Smackdown Shut Your Mouth and it’s one of the opening clips when the beat drops
Liked how you eliminated the undertaker in the royal rumble one of the greatest maven moments of all time
Maven you always bring the CHILL VIBES! 👍 thanks for the RUclips videos keep up the great work! ❤❤❤
Thanks maven these videos make me feel like I’m right there with ya ! And it’s nice feels like a friend in presence lol… I’ve been really alone these past couple of years and your videos definitely make me feel better and love listening to your interesting and very detailed stories ! Thank you maven
Taker was a true professional. He never needed to hurt another performers career to maintain his position. Unlike Hogan who made a career of not doing jobs and stealing the spotlight. That's why Taker will always remain a legend and Hogan became a disgrace.
lol hogan became a disgrace for racist rants and home made porn videos 😂
I watched the chair to the throat spot live and I remember being totally in shock. I knew the outcomes were predetermined but for the life of me I had no idea how this spot was done without tremendous amounts of pain. I'm super greatful for Mavens channel!!
I wanna see Maven make a WWE comeback and start a feud with Damian Priest
Maven, never stop making these videos. They are interesting and it is also a great thing to have on, listening to when eating or even working out. You have a great storytelling voice for sure. All the respect to you!
Ohhh yeah, this is the one we’ve been waiting for. “What am I gonna do? I’m not gonna be able to dye this” definitely got a chuckle out of me too. Mavens so real, sometimes I feel like I know him. Plus that little smile when he saw the spot, you know it meant so much to him.
You forget Undertaker is 6'10, He's a behemoth
I cannot believe he was able to look up the ramp with those eyebrows
😂😂😂
man that little smile he does right after watching his dropkick at 6:04 is so genuine I love it
