Walking in 2023 like….
The Miz had competed on the fourth season of WWE Tough Enough. Though Daniel Puder ultimately defeated him, he earned a developmental contract with the company. Since signing with WWE following Tough Enough, Miz has become one of the company’s most decorated and reliable wrestlers.
Speaking to Brian Baumgartner on Off The Beat, Miz recalled WWE originally seeing him as an announcer coming out of Tough Enough.
“I’ll never forget, they were like, ‘You impressed us so much that maybe there is something for you here.’ They brought me up to Connecticut to commentate. Joey Styles brought me up with Todd Grisham and Michael Cole, they brought me up and I had to do a take of commentating. They told me, ‘we might bring you in as a commentator or interviewer.’ It was the first time I said, ‘but I want to be a WWE Superstar.’ They didn’t look at me like a WWE Superstar, they looked at me as a personality. I saw something different, ‘I love what you guys do and you do a great job, but I want to be bigger than The Rock and bigger than (Hulk) Hogan. I want to be a Superstar.’ ‘Alright, okay,’“Miz recalled.
