[1996-11-17-WWF-Survivor Series] Interview: Rocky Maivia

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Rock is interviewed in an empty MSG by Kevin Kelly. Total humble babyface promo.

[Zenjo]

Normally they'd have a clip of the babyface signing autographs for kids but nobody knew who Rocky was yet.

[PeteF3]

An almost literally babyfaced Rocky Maivia does not yet have the pull to be abusing Kevin Kelly just yet. You really *can* see flashes of presence and charisma with this guy, but this cliched babyface material does him no favors.

[Exposer]

WWE Network makes odd cuts & they seemed to have removed this from Survivor Series 96. I found the interview with him from RAW the week before the show instead. It's amazing the transformation this guy had from late 96 through the summer of 99.

I thought this was a good interview. He is certainly unpolished but he has some glimpses like when Kevin asks him if the pressure is increased wrestling in MSG and he shoots that down right away.
