"WWE Wrestlers get paid more for performing high risk stunts during matches: TRUE", Mick Foley should be living in a house made of solid gold

Hey Maven, Bradley here. So from 2001 to 2005 I had the opportunity to be a WWE fan

The entrance music question reminds me of something i heard about Triple H's theme "The Game" at first, Jim Johnston, WWEs misic guy at the time, made the song, demoed it for Hunter and he asked "Can you make it sound like MötorHead?" Jim replied "I can hire MötorHead." And Triple H pretty much fangirled when he heard that.

Love Maven. Genuine bloke who doesn’t shy away from any hard questions and takes accountability for any mistakes he’s made. Legend.

On the "planted fans" thing -- I've been a seat-filler at a WWE event before, so they kinda "plant fans, " but we weren't given any special instructions beyond "don't be stupid."

[BrettJ]

That's transition into the ad was smooth as hell 😂

[omolara]

"You didnt see me lose. You saw me get paid." 😂😂😂

I really like this guy man, he´s so humble, so quick to tell you he´s wrong and blaming himself even when it ain´t really his fault. Massive respect for you Maven.

[SamRoberts-tokg]

I could listen to this guy talk about his wrestling experiences all day such a good guy maven

2019: WWE piping in crowd noise because the crowd is dead

2024: WWE piping in crowd noise because the crowd’s chanting holy sh*t

Hey Maven, Sway here. From 2001-2005 I was definitely a fan of yours. Now that I found your channel a couple months ago I am a fan again.

My favourite crowd editing was when they edited out people cheering for Sid eliminating Hogan at the 1992 Rumble lmao. They even redid the COMMENTARY to try to make out that Sid was "cowardly" for... checks notes... cleanly eliminating someone from a Royal Rumble. And then Hogan pulled him out! Such a classic case of "we'll TELL YOU who you like!" even when the designated face was so clearly in the wrong.

That winning and losing "myth" even got people who became quite famous wrestlers, even close before they started to become a wrestler. Like Chirs Jericho said that he figured out that it's scripted who gets over, but if it comes to the championship matches he thought they are legit. So a pro wrestler had to tell him, when Jericho was the greenest greenhorn, that also the outcome of a championship match is scripted. And he was like "WTF?!" 🤣

[AzureRoxe]

During the "does WWE pipe in crowd noise?" section, i was reminded of a time they did it but the sound byte they used HAD THE COMMENTARY TALKING, so out of nowhere, you could hear the commentary from God-knows what episode of Raw or Smackdown talking in the background.

Maven, I'm a truck driver and a fan from way back. I discovered your channel this morning and have been binging your videos.
I just wanted to say THANKS a lot man although I can't watch a lot of the times while I'm driving listening is still a good time actually a great time!
I hope you keep it up and achieve great success.
May God always bless you and yours.
PS that was really clever and fun how you transitioned with the commercial! Never seen anyone do it that way before haha

The canned heat goes the other way too. They control all crowd noise. I once tried to shout as loud as I could "HEY!!!" at a live Raw during a particularly quiet match because I wanted to see if I could catch myself on the live broadcast I was recording at home. When I say as loud as I could, I mean my voice rang out through the entire arena, and the match was a tag match with MNM, and Melina at ringside actually turned to look when I did it.

I watched the replay, found the point where Melina turned away from the ring to look, and no shout. It was just the same standard generic audience noise droning on like always during the live broadcast. They'd dubbed me out.

I always heard face sells shirts, heels sell tickets.

"Wrestlers need permission for tattoos - true"

Undertaker said on his podcast he never told Vince and got his tatt's done and the only result was a five minute yelling fit from Vince.

[Pesciano]

“Not gonna get into because I am nooot a tattletale…… but it’s true” with your expression 🤣🤣 fucking hilarious. Respect and support outta BMORE 💯
