I just got a pretty funny text from my cousin like 5 minutes ago. He is at Sutton Place in Manhattan. He sends me a text saying "I just met Maven! He's a bouncer here!"
I feel bad saying its funny because it really isn't. A job is a job and people need to make a living... But it is kind of funny in a surreal kind of way. Like here's this once larger than life athlete now working a normal job like you.
I remember hearing about some others but can't really remember too well. What are some of your favorites?

That dropkick defined his career. Man was I a Maven fan when that happened. I don't even remember what happened after that moment though, I was only 10. Did Maven get crushed by Undertaker in the coming weeks? |

He was more than destroyed by Taker. He was annihilated. That drop kick was like his only move. I did love his music too.

He did get beaten up by Undertaker a few weeks in a row, however Maven did win the Hardcore Championship off Undertaker thanks to help of the Rock.

Kinda sad. At least he is doing better wasn't he doing drugs or something? I know he was working for HSN earlier however now it seems he is a bouncer.  |

He was arrested earlier this year for getting prescriptions from different doctors for the same "illness."

My dad has worked as a bouncer/doorman for all of his adult life, and depending on the places you work, it can be a really tough job! My dad is a 6'5" tall biker, covered in tattoos so is usually working for rough pubs/clubs etc where there are a lot of fights etc... He often has to fist fight drunks and gang members and the like when they kick off (at the start of the year he had two ribs broken when a cocaine addict attacked him from behind after the other doorman had took the guys drink off him...

The kid had ton of potential. Shame he couldn't have capitalized more off of that. I think he should have traveled over seas for some additional training. Who knows?

Now that he is an average Joe, the internet fans will love him and say WWE dropped the ball with him.

I don't think this is that kind of place. My cousin usually goes to places that are more trendy. The kinda places where you can't get in if you are dressed sloppy. I'm sure he still has to deal with a few unruly people here and there though. |

I really wish he had gone over to Japan, had he gone he could have improved and would have been pretty good probably

When was Maven "larger than life?"  |

When was Maven "larger than life?" lol. Poor word choice I guess. I kinda meant like you see him on TV and working for a mega company. You wouldn't expect to see him working at a local business. |

Gotta get paid.
Bouncing is not a terrible job either. Can be dangerous, but I think he can probably handle it well.

He had a good drop kick and theme music and that was it.
