The problem is that since Maven was the first one to be Touch Enough Champion and he beat Nidia to actually making appearances it became his gimmick. At the time "Touch Enough Champion" was marketable...since the first one it hasn't really been all that important so the other were given crappy gimmicks and thrown in the mix...ironically they now have important careers...because which being the first TE winner is a way to get over, for Maven it is the ONLY way...that and he is so injury pron that he can't get a new push....The only time he wasn't pushed as "Mr. Tough Enough" was right after he threw Taker out of the Rumble...then won the Hardcore Title right before X8...then kind of died off...too bad since he seems to have charisma and talent...

I guess that is kind of a round about way of saying...nothing. There is nothing that Maven can do to get passed it until he gets a push for his talent and isn't fed to the big names as a jobber/newbie (ironically he is becomming one of the older guys yet still is treated as a newbie).
