Maven Huffman - Definition and Overview

Maven Huffman (usually simply Maven) is a former primary school teacher who is now a professional wrestler on World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand.

Maven was awarded a year's contract with the company after he won the first series of Tough Enough, a reality television show used to find new WWE stars, in 2001.

Maven eliminated the legendary Undertaker from the 2002 Royal Rumble, sparking a feud between the two, leading to his Hardcore Title win over the Undertaker (with assistance from The Rock).

Maven has been somewhat successful in the business for he has already competed with some of the best and greatest competitors in history. Maven was thought to follow the footsteps of the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.

Recently, Maven turned heel after participating in the Survivor Series Elimination Match at Survivor Series 2004. A few weeks after the match, Maven assaulted Eugene after Eugene eliminated him in a Battle Royal on RAW.
