WWE Bio

The Miz’s mouth is the reason duct tape was invented—and even that won’t do the trick. First introduced to TV audiences as one of the seven strangers on “The Real World: Back to New York,” The Miz parlayed his reality TV fame into a legitimate WWE career. And, for those who think he’s a fluke, just ask him. He’ll tell you he’s not…and he’s right. Miz’s first taste of WWE cred came alongside John Morrison, as the duo won the WWE Tag Team Championship and the attention of WWE fans on their WWE.com web series, “The Dirt Sheet.” The team was split up thanks to the 2009 WWE Draft and many expected Miz to fade into obscurity. He proved everyone wrong, though, by winning the United States Championship, the Unified Tag Team Championship and several high-profile matches. Then, in July 2010, Miz’s career hit a turning point. By winning the Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the Ohio native guaranteed himself a chance to capture his ultimate goal—the WWE Championship. And, on the Nov. 22, 2010 edition of Monday Night Raw, The Miz finally made good on his persistent threats, successfully cashing in his WWE Title opportunity on a vulnerable Randy Orton to capture the most prestigious prize in sports-entertainment. Following the win, The Miz went on a blistering championship reign, backing up every caustic proclamation of his awesomeness by holding onto the title for an astounding 160 days. After losing the title to John Cena at Extreme Rules, The Awesome One continued to hover around the main event scene before aligning himself with R-Truth, who shared Miz’s beliefs that the powers that be in WWE were conspiring to keep them down. Their affiliation was short lived, which, honestly, is the best thing for The Miz. He does better on his own, when he doesn’t have to share the spotlight…or the mic. The Awesome One proved that on the historic 1,000th episode of Raw when he captured the Intercontinental Championship by defeating Christian.

Breakdown

It’s awesome! Well…sometimes. Although The Miz can be a little bit one-dimensional, we found some really cool groggy grapples in his move-set to make the experience even more awesome. When your opponent is groggy, use the left stick left with the grapple button to execute a dramatic Snapmare & Big Boot, or hold up on the left stick and grapple to rip off the new Reverse Shoulderbreaker. Our favorite was definitely the Mizard of Oz however (right and grapple) if only for the name. The Miz is good at a lot of things, but it’s only fitting that one of his two 90 ratings happens to be in Charisma—even if he is the only one that believes it!
