Former Hardcore Champion Maven confessed to being attracted to Hall of Famer Trish Stratus during his WWE stint.
Maven joined the Stamford-based company in 2001. Over the next four years, he worked with several female superstars, including Torrie Wilson, whom he later confessed to having a massive crush on. However, Wilson was not the only female co-worker to whom the former Hardcore Champion was attracted to.
In a new YouTube video posted on his channel, Maven opened up about having a "little mini crush" on Trish Stratus. He recalled once sitting next to her on a plane.
"Trish is I would say an icon when it comes to just gorgeous women that enter this business. And I remember I had a little mini crush on Trish. I found myself sitting next to her on a plane. Completely harmless. But for probably the better part of 10 hours I was, you know, in that nervous anticipation you're getting ready to go on a date. She was probably thinking of everything but that," he said.
The 46-year-old added:
"But Trish is a sweetheart. And what she has meant to women's wrestling can never be understated. I know that every female wrestler that enters this business owes her a debt. The two women that I think of when wrestling, Trish and Lita. Trish, I thank you for what you've meant for the world of professional wrestling and what you've brought to the women's division."
