@onthisdayinwwe: He had only won the contest a week earlier - but had been training for months for this moment. He needed to be Tough Enough to take those Tazz chops! Think the WWF massively overdid it with the crowd cheering sound effects but by being on SmackDown, they could edit out any issues (which they did do) On his successful YouTube channel, Maven explained how he had heat with the boys for, in their eyes, “fast-tracking” his way to the WWF (a familiar opinion for many of those who got contracts through the reality show) He detailed how Tazz helped him so much on the day, from the moment he arrived at the arena to the end of their match - playing up to being a rookie and making him shine with his great dropkicks Maven taps out to the Tazzmission here - but he'd soon get that victory over his former trainer, with help from his fellow winner, Nidia! #OnThisDayInWWE
