The Miz appeared on several reality television shows in the early 2000s, including MTV’s The Real World. Although he showed potential on WWE’s own reality series, Tough Enough, many superstars questioned whether he was serious about becoming a wrestler.
Flair still performed as an in-ring competitor when The Miz signed his first contract with WWE in 2005. Speaking on his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, the 16-time world champion confirmed that many people disliked the rookie superstar:
The Miz won his first WWE Championship in 2010 and headlined WrestleMania 27 in 2011. The 41-year-old has been tipped by many people to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame one day.
Ric Flair prefers The Miz as a bad guy
The Miz has worked as both a babyface and a heel during his 17 years in WWE. He currently performs as a bad guy alongside his wife Maryse on RAW.
Ric Flair believes the two-time WWE Champion is more suited to portraying a heel, even though he is a nice person in real life:
The Miz and Maryse will join forces to face another WWE married couple, Edge and Beth Phoenix, at the 2022 Royal Rumble on January 29.
