Ex-WWE Star Maven Recalls The Rock AND The Undertaker Ribbing Him
Both The Rock and The Undertaker had some fun with WWE rookie Maven in 2002.
Imagine being ribbed by two WWE legends during your rookie year in the business.
Ex-WWE star Maven doesn't need to imagine it - he lived it. Both The Rock and The Undertaker had some fun at the Tough Enough winner's expense back in 2002. 'Taker beat Rock to the punch by approaching Maven with Shane McMahon backstage at the Royal Rumble and winding the newbie up.
Maven told Chris Van Vliet's 'Insight' show that Shane laid out the way he'd eliminate 'The Deadman' later that night. The rook was stunned, and almost felt apologetic when 'Taker rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you f*cking kidding me?".
He then winked at Maven to let him know he was joking.
A few months later, it was Rocky's turn. He pulled Maven to one side at WrestleMania X-8 and said, "Hey, no-one is really expecting much out of you, so just do the best you can". Just like that, Rock walked away and left Maven puzzled; he'd been expecting something more.
Again, much like 'Taker, The Rock turned back around and winked. This was apparently the way locker room veterans had their fun with the new kids.
