Maven Huffman: Survivor Series is here and you know that that means, The Royal Rumble is right around the corner. For those of you that don't know what that means, 30 men will enter the ring for the right to face the World Champion at Wrestlemania. And as big as Wrestlemania is, for me as a kid? It was all about the Royal Rumble man. You start off with two men in the ring and every couple of minutes a new man enters. Competitors are thrown over the top rope for elimination, until one man remains.

[Maven exits his Subaru with his cup of coffee in his hand and puts his credit card inside of the pump.]

Maven Huffman: And me? Well, I don't need to tell you about the time I eliminated the Undertaker, for a young guy just getting his start in the industry it's a huge opportunity to brush shoulders with the great ones. And for the fans? It's one of the premier events in the industry. A chance to get to see all of your favorites in one match. It's a surefire hit isn't it? You're probably thinking how could anyone screw that up?

[Maven removes the gas pump, putting it into his car and clicking it filling up his vehicle before turning to the camera.]

Maven Huffman: And when Rich Harden Oakland brought the concept to WWFG, I'm sure many people in G-Feds were thinking the same thing. Now me, I don't really follow G-Feds, it's not that I don't like them I just don't have the time these days. Personally? On the rare occasion that I do I prefer to watch the Real companies, you know, your CWF's, or maybe even pop in some old school TNWF.

[Maven unclicks the gas pump, putting it back in the slot thing and gets back into his car looking back in the rear view mirror to speak to the viewer.]

Maven Huffman: But hey, you've got to admit there was a time when WWFG was a pretty respectable promotion. And during that time? All people could ever talk about was the Royal Rumble. But not for the reasons you'd think...... Yes, for as long as I can remember The WWFG Royal Rumble has always just come up a little short of peoples expectation. When asked on social media about it, many of you, and I'm not using my words here, called it a "filler PPV." And honestly? It's not hard to see why.

[Maven shifts his car into gear and starts backing out carefully, stopping to allow an older lady with her grandson cross the street.]

Maven Huffman: But hey, no one said this was supposed to be easy. In WWE? We had the benefit of everyone being mostly on the same page. If there was a disagreement? You take it up with Vince. But in WWFG? Let's just say, whether it's former SWA comissioner Mick Foley, Cartwright, Boxer Anarchy, and yes, even Jed himself, every iteration of ownership has struggled to deliver on the many promises of this hallowed event. Now, I know what you're saying...

[Maven waves to the old lady as he finishes backing out. Shifting into drive he stops at the stop sign before the intersection to get onto the highway.]

Maven Huffman: "But Maven, there's been a few good Royal Rumbles, what about the one from whenever it is." And hey, I totally get it. Personally, the last WWFG Royal Rumble I saw was the one in 2016 and the only reason I remember that? Because I was watching with my old friend D-Von. After Bad Boy won it, D-Von turned to me and he said something I'll never forget.

[Maven looks back in his blind spot as he merges into the next lane making sure that no one was there as he flips his turn signal.]

Maven Huffman doing a D-Von impersonation: Maven, you know the problem with the WWFG Royal Rumble is that it's too political. There's too many egos. To have a match that's inherently unfair in such a shark pool? It's not going to work. You know what they should do instead? They should get everyone in the ring at the same time for a regular over the top rope battle royal. That way no one gets bent out of shape over preferential treatment. You can get rid of the Royal Rumble, replace it, or maybe even do both of them with the non-political Royal Rumble as a consolation prize? Maybe offer cash to the winner or something.

[Maven is cracking up as he pulls into a suburban neighborhood, smiling as he recalls fond memories with D-Von who was one of his first friends in the business.]

Maven Huffman: And at the time, I thought he'd completely lost his mind. What would be the consolation prize? $500 dollars and a handshake? But hey, with the advent of the NBA regular season tournament and WWFG's recent creation of a women's division we've seen that networks are willing to do ANYTHING to move the needle just a little bit.
