After watching that Undertaker podcast with you starring in it, Its been confirmed, you are hands down the best wrestler turned youtuber ever, you just have that ever present kindness and charisma to spread around, I could genuinely listen to you reacting to your matches and still find it interesting as hell, God bless Maven
I tried the backstabber on a friend before and they sandbagged me on the landing. I ended up squeezing out a fart and my friends didn’t let me live that down for months. So there’s an emotional aspect to the pain you feel doing these moves too.
The fact Kurt Angle made it his thing, especially in TNA, to miss Moonsaults from the top of a cage shows just how much he put himself through for our entertainment.
Thank You so much for your contribution to us WWE fans WrestlingBios. I watch EVERY video you make, every chance I get. I actually need to start watching more of your amazing content my brother. Much Love and Respect. GOD Bless you.
@@BenedictCeven with changing his style he was going to retire years ago, but then he got stem cell treatment on his knees and it gave him a 2nd life in wrestling. Doesn’t work for everyone though, Kurt Angle said stem cells had no effect on him.
@@DigitalNoodleMiss me with that one, lmao. I’m used to taking back bumps but I can’t imagine whiffing a moonsault and crashing chest first onto the mat.
"How many moonsaults connect? Not that many" VERY true. One day I was watching an old Bam Bam Bigelow match, and he busted out his patented BIG boy moonsault, and he obviously whiffed. I tried to find any of his that connected. and 4... I was only able to find 4 of Bammer's moonsaults that connected... Shoot, you'd think with a percentage rate that low, he'd nix that move... In kayfabe though, it's a MAJESTIC sight seeing a man that big do an arching backflip.
The moonsault part reminded me of my cup of coffee wrestling. I did one moonsault, and it punished my knees on the landing, and I was like, "welp, enough of that." LOL
@@BlakeMaddox-ln6uuyeah I agree he’ll probably will but it depends what he’s doing after a match weather he’s having massages or chiropractor or some type of physical therapy to help keep him in shape longer.
@CommanderSuberox all of that stuff is like slapping a bandaid on it, that kind of repetitive trauma to the body will have repercissions no matter how many massages you get
It's not much bro, but I would pay more to have a 5mins video call with you As mentioned big fan from Australia You had the look and physic and nice tattoos as well. Proud of you that you became a great athlete, had a figurine, been in a video game etc Became something of yourself Hope to hear from you bro Take care
Every bit helps! So we THANK YOU for the contribution. It still humbles me knowing people enjoy what we do and are willing to give! We are trying to figure out how to make a “call” possible. When we do, I hope we get to have that chat my friend. Take care down under!! Hahaha (my bad Aussy joke)
Seeing the clip of Maven doing the moonsault was a shame not to see him use it cause it looked perfect, like i have never seen a more perfect moonsault.
you can see he actually underrotated just a tiny bit, which made his chest hit the mat just a bit before his hips hit the mat. No wonder it knocked the wind out of him.
Never saw you wrestle Mave, but seeing these highlights is very impressive. You were a very athletic man. And watching your progression from the early clips adds to my amazement. Also makes me wonder how Jeff Hardy is still alive…
Maven I was actually a fan and f yours in tough enough and when you got to the WWE. I love that your putting these videos out now. So many questions answered that I’ve had since I was a kid
Maven: "The missile dropkick was a pretty easy move to perform." Me, constantly falling on my chest and face every time: "Yeaaaah... right... super easy." 👀
About moonsault and your question! I never saw Iyo Shirai(sky) miss one! In many cases she lands exactly like she needs to, in some cases that would be hips, but newer mises completely when it needs to connect. That's became my little observation game, because I was amazed by her skill and now I pay attention to that even more. That's interesting enough that she liked Mysterio and his style, when he also has such a good skill with that move.
Maven, watching these clips, I gotta give you credit for not only your hops but how natural you looked most of the time. You had your own flair with your spins and such. Not always the cleanest result, but the actual motion catches my eye every time.
It’s been extremely inconsistently called between the two. We always griped about commentators interchanging them back when I was on the wrestling internet 25 years ago.
I always thought that RVD’s Frog Splash/Five Star Splash (I don’t remember what it was called now) seemed to be very painful on his ribs. Every time he did that move he would show a lot of pain on his face and grab his ribs. Of course, that may have just been acting to sell the move, but it really looked hard and painful on the ribcage.
I will tell you I knocked the wind out of myself trying it I literally jumped as high as my body would go to do it on my brother . It does have a damage effect on yourself brother was better off than I was
I see the shooting star press hurting man because youre landing the same way, a front bump, but you flip first adding momentum not to mention the height.
Justin Gabriel's 450 Splash was the 2010s equivalent of that. Everyone who ever took it claims it's the most painful move they ever took in WWE. Plus, Justin Gabriel himself always looked genuinely in pain right after giving it.
Congrats on building a successful YT channel. I am proud of your come back after years of being off the spotlight of wrestling. Your podcast with Taker was great.
You know what, you are a natural salesman. Most advertisements in the middle of the videos feel like they’re just crowbarred in. Yours are smooth and slide in like nobody’s business.
As someone who is struggling with knee pain and ive never jumped off the top rope i can tell you i could barely walk for a month and every step was pain. I cant imagine having to do that every night
Hey Maven Guys here. It sounds like based off your experience, there's almost no good/great finishers that doesn't hurt to do night in and night out. There are two moves that I can think that would be great, the problem is that you have never taken them at any point in your career. One is what was formally known as The Steenilizer which was formally used by Kevin Steen (aka Kevin Owens), which was a bridging package piledriver or powerbomb whatever you want to call it. Might be painful to take, but doesn't hurt to do, and looks incredible. The other is known as The Dragon Screw Neck Whip. Possibly the scariest move to take based solely on it's apperence. Essentially a twisting ddt /neckbreaker given to someone drapping from the top rope. Would love to hear your reaction to these moves Maven.
@@dtester That one is one of the worst in my opinon. I'm always thinking "just bite his hand, that's how you escape it" But regardless a great comment.
@@lewismaclean8849 It's a nerve pinch! 😆 Just came to mind that the "striking" finishers are usually painless. Maybe a running drop kick would have been good for Maven since he had a good drop kick.
I only watched wrestling as a teenager for about two years. It was so much fun but I eventually drifted away from it. But watching this stuff has brought back some of the magic of being a teenager again. I still don’t care about watching actual wrestling but it’s neat seeing the curtain lifted now that the kayfabe isn’t so strong.
Hey Maven and team! Thank yall for all the amazing content, able to watch for hours. Non wrestling fan friends who've caught me watching also get interested within 30 seconds 😂 Cheers! P.s. was watching the ECW one night stand paperview from 2004 the other night and saw you on the RAW TEAM! Could you do a video of your experience around that fan base? Maybe a video comparing the fans in different parts of the world as a second video too. Here for the ride 🏍
💡💡👍🏽 love that idea. And thank you for sharing with non wrestling fans. Zach and I both think that is the biggest compliment we can get. When NON FANS watch! 🙏🏽
I’m thinking knowing how Taz is he probably chuckled at you while pulling you up asking”you good kid?”😂 Absolutely love your style of storytelling and breakdowns sir
The spinning heel kick surprised me. Looks like such a textbook move but I never thought about landing differently every time and how that takes a toll on your body.
Question for you maven... Have you ever had to take a brain buster ? If so how devastating is that move? Also if not do you know guys that used it and got hurt by it ?
@@MavenKHuffman that's awesome man! I really appreciate the reply Maven! God bless you man! When you get a chance if you didn't watch backlash this year... check out Kevin owens brain buster to toma Tonga that was nasty and on top of chairs!
iirc the move wasn’t designed to make direct contact. it was landing next to the guy so close it sold it.. but the margin of error was so thin and the move was brutal on the neck and spine sub-concussive hits and chair shots ruined his brain more than anything
@@juiceekay7428allegedly, and new jack sure as hell wasn't one to talk, intentionally hurting people he was working with on more than a couple occasions.
@@kamenanew9867 New Jack was crazy AF & nearly killed Mass Transit & the guy he chucked off 40 ft. But at least these were guys he beefed with & NOT his wife & kids.
Hey Maven! Your videos are always so well written, paced, and performed. But I think you and your talented team foibled a little at 14:00 xD! You're supposed to be helping us imagine what it was like as non-wrestlers, but then you just describe climbing up on the top rope and slamming your knee on the mat. Maybe an analogy about jumping from your kitchen counter onto a thin mattress? I'm sure you guys could come up with something better :)!
This has nothing to do with wrestling, but I figure I let someone know that my favorite pair of Kit-Kat socks have holes in them, and I am very upset about this.
10:52 yeah eventually doing the moonsault as a finisher for years totally ruined Keiji Mutoh/Great Muta's knees and its why he started doing the Shining Wizard
This channel is such a great way as an introduction to professional wrestling. I have no interest in the sport but this is amazing. Maven you are great for the art.
Maven you may have been a mid card guy, but at the end of it all you might go down as the GOAT wrestling RUclipsr. You deserve it man. Keep entertaining the masses brother.
Man another Great Vid its crazy to see that you only did the Moon Sault once in the game Shut Your Mouth it's actually a Finisher of yours CRAZY to think. An now knowing that you had the BackStabber First in WWE in the Words of Carlito That's Cool as I've been loving the work you have been doing an recently saw the stuff with you an Undertaker on his Channel. AWESOME Content Would Be so sick to see you return to WWE in some way ❤❤❤❤
At 11:55 the way ref Nick Patrick sells the missed Moonsault is gold too! Or was he selling at all? Maybe he thought "Oh daaaayum. This kid fucked up! That must've hurt!" hehe You should do a video about how everyone in the ring interacts with each other Mav. Like how the ref always squeezes the Wrestlers hands after a good bump...
It’s interesting you mention the backstabber, because Carlito has said before about regretting it being his finishing and it has caused him a lot of pain and injury of the years

Not up for debate

Lol😂
This is the greatest comment ever
Nah the fartstabber is crazy 💨🗡️
@YuckFouTubeX I used to backyard wrestle with kids half my age and I always end up hurting them for real… lol
The fart was the real finisher
I don't know man, Santino Marella had a pretty deadly move involving a cobra. Hard to beat.
How anyone survived it was simply a miracle😂
@chrisstanley1360 Honestly uncomfortable to watch at times - my prayers go out to those victimised by such a manoeuvre.
I think the cobra hurts emotionally more than physically. Can’t let this man win with a PG move!
Mr socko would like a word
I saw Santino paralyze a man with it!! He was twitching and everything.
Devastating.
13:13
Loved seeing Randy Ortons nod of approval after you readjusted your balance off the top rope!
I never noticed that! Good eye!!!
@@MavenKHuffmanYou should invite Randy Orton one day.
The fact Kurt Angle made it his thing, especially in TNA, to miss Moonsaults from the top of a cage shows just how much he put himself through for our entertainment.
Dude had the prettiest moonsault in the biz.
I have a hard time watching that in light of his addiction issues.
WITH A BROKEN FRICKIN NECK
wrestling was so soulless during the early 2000s-present
To be fair,he was fully doped up at the time and was barely human.
Undertaker podcast was awesome Maven.
Keep up that great work!
Maven is a jam up guy
I didn't thought I'm gonna spend my Friday with uncle Mave and Taker, but it was a blast. Hat off to both of them.
Oh shit wrestling bios is here, aka Not a complete tit. Love the content wb!

@@JesusIsKing-ge7hc dude is indeed the legend.
And suddenly Rey Mysterio sticking to a very routine set of high flying moves for much of his WWE career makes a lot more sense.😅
He changed his WWE style up from his WCW routine.
@@nicotoscani1707 But if Rey didn't switch it up he would have retired years ago.
@@BenedictCeven with changing his style he was going to retire years ago, but then he got stem cell treatment on his knees and it gave him a 2nd life in wrestling. Doesn’t work for everyone though, Kurt Angle said stem cells had no effect on him.
Same with Cena's "5 moves of doom"
when you're the company's top guy it makes sense to take as few risks and be as safe as possible
@@nicotoscani1707True
My family and I all love wrestling. "Maven posted a new video" has become a regular phrase at our weekly dinners. Thank you for this channel!
I love it!!!!! That just made me laugh
I never envy a wrestler who has to jump off a ladder or cage, always looks so painful.
Especially when Shane McMahon jumped off from the cell; one of the recent WrestleManias of the modern era
Just look at Edge breaking his tibia from jumping off a cage recently
@@whitetigerrr458at his age,he got some balls 😅
When Kurt Angle did a back flip off the steel cage.
@@DigitalNoodleMiss me with that one, lmao. I’m used to taking back bumps but I can’t imagine whiffing a moonsault and crashing chest first onto the mat.

You should invite Randy Orton for a video in the future since he was a road buddy of yours during your time.
Honestly, they should. Seeing him talk to Booker T, D-Von, Taker, and make a tribute to Test is like seeing a great high school reunion happening.
I second this! Hearing old road stories with Randy would be dope
Holy fuck yes
It's coming... he's just looking for the perfect material I bet.
🎉That would be awesome actually!
Its definitely the top rope moves. Like the splash elbow drop those types. You're landing on you're opponent which hurts you aswell.
The moonsault part reminded me of my cup of coffee wrestling. I did one moonsault, and it punished my knees on the landing, and I was like, "welp, enough of that." LOL
I said the exact same!!!!
Go San Francisco 49ers Bang Bang niner gang
Now I wonder how ricochet performs like this nearly the entire match without having long term repercussions
sadly, he probably WILL have repercussions that we either don't see or he hasn't experienced yet
He will, all high flyers will eventually
@@BlakeMaddox-ln6uuyeah I agree he’ll probably will but it depends what he’s doing after a match weather he’s having massages or chiropractor or some type of physical therapy to help keep him in shape longer.

True, that moonsault looked so smooth
Iyo Sky has a really good moonsault also
Even Mavens sponsor reads are entertaining. He's just so charismatic, makes everything so authentic.
Glad to see you survived your reunion with Taker. Keep up the good work
One of the things I actually believe when the Hulkster told us. That the leg drop really hurt his hips and spine throughout the years.
Never saw you wrestle Mave, but seeing these highlights is very impressive. You were a very athletic man. And watching your progression from the early clips adds to my amazement.
Also makes me wonder how Jeff Hardy is still alive…
I have been watching these videos featuring you and taker and im hooked i love these so much.
Maven is so bad ass, he doesn’t need oxygen to survive. oxygen needs Maven.
😂😂😂😂 DYIN!!! 😂😂😂😂
Maven I was actually a fan and f yours in tough enough and when you got to the WWE. I love that your putting these videos out now. So many questions answered that I’ve had since I was a kid
I'd love to have a drink with maven and a conversation, he seems so laid back
Right, seems like a genuinely good dude who just gets the vibe
It wouldn't be mutual. You'd bring nothing to the conversation and you'd just fangirl over wrestling and he'd be bored with you within 10 seconds.
You don't have to talk about just professional wrestling. There's lots of other things to discuss in the world@@jarlwhiterun7478
Yep
Same, honestly wouldn't even want to talk about wrestling
This has become my favorite channel on the Tube. Really enjoy watching and listening. TY you Maven.

"and I was coming from the rope to Mark on the floor"
out of context this is fucking hilarious
The way u explain this moves is so easy to understand! Keep it up Maven
The bump Chris Nowitzki took for you on the spinning heel kick was sick. Shame his career got cut short. He had an interesting gimmick.
Yeah, his gimmick was so easy to hate.. GREAT HEAT!
Just watched all your vids man. I even rewatched your past lives. Pls keep making this great content 🙏
Mave, can you do a video about your tattoos ? What they symbolize, what they mean to you, and if there's a specific reason behind any of them ?
Maven, watching these clips, I gotta give you credit for not only your hops but how natural you looked most of the time. You had your own flair with your spins and such. Not always the cleanest result, but the actual motion catches my eye every time.
I'm sure the spinning heel kick used to be called spinning wheel kick instead. Anyone else remember that?
Heel makes more sense because ur hitting them with your heel it's called both just depends who says it
It’s been extremely inconsistently called between the two. We always griped about commentators interchanging them back when I was on the wrestling internet 25 years ago.
I love your vids Maven. Just the insight you give into career is awesome.
Hope you continue making these vids.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 we are always thinking of ideas and other videos we feel are good to share
I always thought that RVD’s Frog Splash/Five Star Splash (I don’t remember what it was called now) seemed to be very painful on his ribs.

Thanks @MavenKHuffman, You're always very interesting in your videos. Keep going sir and i always look forward for the next one.
With the high flying moves being on top of the list, it's amazing how long of a career Rey Mysterio has had. He's had a lot of knee issues

Your vids are amazing you deserve like over one million subscribers
I love your videos and you haye a such a nice, deep and calm voice, perfect storyteller 10/10
Usually you see a compilation video of a wrestler's moves.
Its nice to see a wrestler analyse their use of moves.
Always a good day when Maven uploads a video!
Another great educational video Maven
Big fan.
Man another Great Vid its crazy to see that you only did the Moon Sault once in the game Shut Your Mouth it's actually a Finisher of yours CRAZY to think. An now knowing that you had the BackStabber First in WWE in the Words of Carlito That's Cool as I've been loving the work you have been doing an recently saw the stuff with you an Undertaker on his Channel. AWESOME Content Would Be so sick to see you return to WWE in some way ❤❤❤❤
At 11:55 the way ref Nick Patrick sells the missed Moonsault is gold too! Or was he selling at all? Maybe he thought "Oh daaaayum. This kid fucked up! That must've hurt!" hehe
You should do a video about how everyone in the ring interacts with each other Mav. Like how the ref always squeezes the Wrestlers hands after a good bump...
Loved hearing you on the Taker podcast. Much love Maven!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 just wait, next week he will be on HERE!
Great point about the moonsault it's hell on one's knees (Ask Great Muta) that's a move you bust out for big event not an every match move
It’s interesting you mention the backstabber, because Carlito has said before about regretting it being his finishing and it has caused him a lot of pain and injury of the years
Fantastic, really enjoyed, thanks
You singlehandedly got me back into wrestling! Love your videos thank you sir!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
