Why I Stopped Talking to Randy Orton

When I was a WWE wrestler, Randy Orton was one of my best friends. However, we eventually stopped talking. In this video, I share how we became friends, share a few backstage stories of Legend, and what led to us going our separate ways.

Who wants to see Maven & Randy reunite in an interview?

YouTube is so cool. Having a former wrestler talking to you like a friend giving you old stories about his career

[landonmiles]

“You never who’s around the corner.”
I immediately thought “Randy’s really about to pop out of nowhere.”

I really think one of the biggest reasons for Maven's success on youtube is his storytelling ability. It's so very approachable and intriguing all at the same time! Loving it.

There's a certain happiness when an old friend does great and even when you're no longer in contact you know they hold a special part in your heart

[Tha.Kid...LL]

Maven turn around, Randy is about to hit you with an RKO

[DonttxPanic]

I hope Randy watches this, very wholesome.

I legitimately want to see Randy pop up on the channel. That'd be such a great moment

I had a similar experience with one of my great (best at the time) friends.
We spent many years hanging out together.
Much experiences.
We no longer speak.
We also went our separate paths.
Perhaps one day our paths will cross again.
In the meantime, I wish him and his family much love and happiness.

You probably won't see this but thank you for your videos. They are very interesting and it's also nice to learn more about who maven is. Keep up the good work!

[mikejefferys]

The respect that Maven shows throughout his videos is why I'm subbed

[streetguru]

I was half expecting the video to end with pulling up to Randy's house and transitioning into a mini podcast/interview.

Dude, you must've been humbled really really hard at one point because very rarely do you meet a person so honest about themself. I hope for nothing but the most success for you. I'm so glad I got to watch your TE season when it was airing and to see how far you've come. You've built quite the legacy.

A lot of people including yourself seem to think that being a WWE superstar for 5-6 years is not a long time, but considering the amount of guys that come and go, that’s substantial and for what it’s worth, I believe you have given back to the fans more so than anyone EVER has from Wrestling by a LONG SHOT!..with this channel, you have been so transparent without ruining the business and given the average fan so much more insight by talking about things that peak generally everyone’s interest. I’d rather have your career with the years in the ring combined with what you’ve done outside the ring than most guys that were in the business even for 20+ years. Sometimes I tap on the screen when I’m watching a video just hoping it’s near the end..but with yours I do it for the opposite reason. Can’t get enough of the content. I make a lot of long drives and listening to your videos keeps me entertained for hours at a clip. Keep it up brother!

Thanks again for one of many happy memories, 2001 Maven was signing autographs and Randy was doing photos at a Fan Frenzy (Global Warning Tour) pre-show. Still have the autograph, still have the photo. Still miss my best mate that went to all those shows with me, who passed long before his time aged 32yrs in Sept 2014. RIP C.J.S.💞

I needed this story. My best friend since daycare went off to college and we naturally grew apart just like you said. He passed away in 2021 and I carried an unspoken guilt for having let so must distance happen to us. But like you said "that's life". He understood and we ended on a high note. Thanx for this video Maven

Somewhere randy is watching this, smiling and thinking about the good ol times

[sheemalmighty]

Hopefully Randy Orton can come on ya channel to show some love

[PJB-lpkd]

Please don’t stop making videos. I can’t stop watching and listening. Easily the best wrestling videos on YouTube. Thank you so much for doing this!

[SWOL]

This has become one of my favorite wrestling channels
