Why hadn't WWE utilize Tough Enough winner Maven better enough throughout his time there?

Question

Maven co-won the first Tough Enough contest and is famously remembered for eliminating the Undertaker in the Royal Rumble of 2002 but while he obviously had great in-ring skills such as his dropkicks, WWE never gave him a real gimmick that would make him unique as well as more championships beside winning the Hardcore Championship three time via the 24/7 rules. His big push came when he upset pre-big star Batista whom he challenged and helped Jericho, Benoit and, mainly, Orton take down Evolution. After his team won against Triple H's at Survivor Series, Maven was the first to be RAW GM for the night and challenged HHH for the World Heavyweight Championship. Despite interference from Jericho and Benoit, he lost the match. Afterward, he became a heel by attacking Eugene for eliminating him from a Battle Royal and feuded with him but it never caught on as he challenged Shelton Benjamin for the latter's Intercontinental Title but he lost... twice after 1) he spent the entire time ripping on the crowd in which he was pinned after he was done and 2) he demand the match to restart which was granted until he was pinned again. His last roles before being let go by the WWE were both forming a tag team with Simon Dean and being part of the Anti-ECW Crusaders led by Eric Bischoff and both didn't go well for Maven.

Answer 1

Not sure. He did have a pretty big push in 2004 when his Survivor Series team won the chance to run Raw for one night . I remember on his night HHH was trying to get Maven to join Evolution since HHH didn't want Maven to face him for the World Title. Then as soon as that ended I don't remember seeing much from him, I do remember not long after he won Tough Enough he eliminated Taker from the RR. Not many of the Tough Enough winners had much of a push at least for very long, only one from the series who did was The Miz and he didn't even win it. Not sure why since the guy sucks. He had the look and I do think he could of at least been a good mid carder .

Answer 2

some months after his launch from WWE, it became introduced by VH1 that Maven could be a participant in Season Six of The Surreal existence. on the 1st episode, he became picked by the present castmates because of the fact the seventh and intensely final forged member in a "15 extra minutes of popularity reality Hunk opposition," beating 4 different reality hunks, inclusive of infamous American Idol contestant Corey Clark. hence, Maven became various for a convention on guess Jazz. He maintains to paintings the self sustaining circuit after almost retiring, many times for Hermie Sadler's United Wrestling Federation.
