So I was watchign the survivor series 2004 and I can't believe that maven was in the main event, I mean gimme a break when was he ever in a big feud? He wasn't feuding with any of the heels who were snitsky/hhh/batista/ or edge so why is he in the match? Anyone remember the story behidn this?

He was kinda fueding with Batista after getting a win over him. But it wasn't a fued beyond that sole match and was sloppy booking in an attempt to get someone new over without much work

I think he main evented against HHH on Raw too.
They were gonna win a shot at becoming GM for a month and Maven was the rookie of the team or something

I remember Snitsky wanting to get a title shot provided that HHH's team wins. What could have been.

All I remember is one night Maven was on Raw against... somebody. Then later, the main event(whatever it was) had interference and then all the faces came down and Maven, Jericho, Benoit, and Orton beat down Triple H, setting up the match. I wanna know why Snitsky was in the match.

Yeah Triple H was trying to recruit him to Evolution. But he picked a title shot instead.

I think Maven was in the match because Snitsky was as well. You know, to even out the rookie factor on each team.

How many of the guys from Tough Enough actually had successful careers? Nowinski did, but his success was more related to medical expertise than the wrestling career itself.

It's been pretty good so far. True, I was curious because Maven got a lot of hype from Tough Enough, but it never actually seemed to get him over as a character. |

I remember really disliking it. He didn't fit well at all. You know you suck when Randy Orton during his face run is more interesting than you.

I sometimes wonder if writing him to take the Evolution offer would have done something more for his career. They made him a heel afterward anyway.
Besides...the dropkick!

I think it had something to do with his unusual popularity in the Taboo Tuesday voting. At least, that's what I heard.

I wanna know why Snitsky was in the match. I admit I was marking hard for that ending to Raw. The locker room finally stood up to Evolution, and Bischoff the next week refusing to help Evolution, just continued good booking on that part. The Raw locker room vs Evolution was a nice feud. Too bad they can't keep up that type of booking all year. |

Then Triple H's music hits but Tajiri came out dressed like Triple H. I marked out so hard I pooped a little bit. |

Ugh, Snitsky and Maven just stuck out like sore thumbs in that match. Would have much preferred Flair and Regal in their places respectively.

I wouldn't have minded Snitsky so much if Eugene had been on Team Orton instead of Maven. At least that would have made sense, considering Eugene's angle with Evolution and Bischoff having Snitsky destroy Eugene on Raw 3 weeks in a row. Also, Regal could have been in Team Orton's corner to counter Flair. |

Anyone else remember when The Heels were in the ring & surrounded by angry faces. Then Triple H's music hits but Tajiri came out dressed like Triple H. I marked out so hard I pooped a little bit. That was the following week. Bischoff put Flair, Trips and Batista in a 6 man tag against Orton and 2 of the other guys. Flair told Bischoff that Trips wasn't there, and that Bischoff should change the match. Bischoff refused to help Evolution because they didn't help him when he got his head shaved. During the match that's when Tajiri made the appearance as Triple H. One thing that made the feud better was that the faces actually got along and were united. And the heels weren't united, they all wanted a shot at Triple H's title. They even had the moment of Batista looking at the title. It was excellently booked. The only thing that would have made it better is if Kane would have taken Maven's place after Snitsky's attack, and eliminated Snitsky. |
