8. Maven - Wall Street

Maiden Tough Enough winner Maven has recently rediscovered a modicum of pro wrestling fame thanks in part to the Major Wrestling Figures Podcast involving him in their live shows, but it was during a chat with another prominent figure associated with the industry that he revealed what he does today.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet about life after running the ropes (h/t to Ewrestling for transcribing), he said;

“Crazily enough I work in the weirdest industry you can work in right now. I work in finance at Wall Street. I travel in and I work for a company that is right there on Wall Street. I have never worked in this industry before. I found out that a lot of people in finance are really into music. Everyone I work with has a CD coming out or a video coming out. I live in New Jersey and I commute.”

As affable-sounding now as he was two decades ago, the former Hardcore Champion may be hearing a different kind of bell in his new life, but nobody on Wall Street has ever entered the trading floor to a banger that hits as hard as this.
