Maven discusses his 'Dark Side Of The Ring' appearance.
On May 27, a 'Dark Side Of The Ring' episode about Muhammad Hassan aired. The episode featured commentary from Chris Masters, Jim Cornette, Maven Huffman, Michael Lombardi, and many other names.
In his latest YouTube video, Maven broke down the process of getting hired for the show, jokingly that he happily agreed when he learned that the episode wasn't about him.
“In 2024, an associate from VICE Television reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in filming a Dark Side Of The Ring episode. Once I heard it wasn’t about me and I heard it would be about Muhammad Hassan and his whirlwind WWE career, I happily agreed knowing how great of a guy Mark is. Now, the contract I had to sign was by far the most extensive to date, and that was due to confidentiality of the project. I was not allowed to tell anyone anything about that day, including the fact that we were filming an episode on Muhammad Hassan or share any pictures or videos. I had to agree not to talk about anything discussed during that entire filming session.”
Maven went on to reveal that he was paid $2,500 to appear in the episode.
“The people at VICE TV were very serious about keeping their project hush hush and completely under wraps. But, how much did I get paid? Well, it was a good day. $2,500 to do the Vice episode and I didn’t even have to pay for parking, they had parking waiting for me when I arrived.”
Season six of 'Dark Side Of The Ring' also featured episodes on Vader, 'Superstar' Billy Graham, Daffney, Tony Atlas, and Undertaker vs. Mick Foley.
