Hello all,
I have a cool little story that I would like to share. I was headed to a rooftop bar with a big group of friends late Saturday afternoon in mid-town Manhattan. As we entered the bar, we were taken upstairs to the rooftop. As I finished climbing the steps, two very large men were headed in our direction. One of the men looked insanely familiar to me - he was bald and had a goatee - but I couldn't put my finger on who it was. After another couple of seconds of awkwardly staring at this man, I realized who it was.
It was former WWE superstar and first ever winner of Tough Enough, Maven!
I immediately went up to him and asked "Excuse me, are you Maven?" to which he responded "Yes I am, man. What's your name?" After I gave him my name he said "welcome to [name of rooftop bar], if there's anything I can do for you let me know, Anthony."
A few hours went by and we decided to leave. On our way out I noticed Maven was working the door, checking ID's and the like. I asked for a picture and he said "absolutely, man, let's get a couple of good ones."
After we took the picture we chatted a bit about wrestling. I said I'll always remember when he drop kicked the Undertaker at the Royal Rumble to which he laughed and said "
you, man, you're making me feel old!" We shook hands yet again and he wished us all a great night.
He was a class act all the way. Tremendous guy.
So have any of you happened to run into wrestlers who have new jobs?
