    While wrestling, you might accidentally hit a wrestler a little too hard. If that happens, you'll probably get hit back with what we call a receipt. I earned myself my fair share of receipts during my WWE career, and in this video, I rank them from least painful to most.

      You have to remember this was before the days of CTE or to at least having the knowledge they do now. Only the strong survive and paying dues is weeding out the weak from the strong. At the end of the day you being on that card is taking away a payday from another perhaps more deserving worker and testing them is a way of finding out whether or not they deserve that spot and if they can hang in the big leagues.

      Yeah, that's exactly the way I feel about it. This is just physical assault.
      Wrestling is about NOT hurting someone and making it look real. Not actually hurting someone. Anyone can do that.
      Accidentally hurting someone (and getting back a receipt for it, so that you are more focused) can be understood.
      But, I have no tolerance for these low-lifes that INTENTIONALLY hurt someone, just cause they are senior.

    I admire Maven's approach in his videos, especially how he reflects on his past with genuine fondness. It's refreshing to see someone from the wrestling world who isn't harboring bitterness or resentment towards the industry or his colleagues. Maven's positive outlook is truly a breath of fresh air amidst a landscape often marked by rivalry and jealousy among former wrestlers.
    Keep up the great work, Maven! Wishing you continued success and fulfillment in all your endeavors.
