The Miz Shares What Makes His Wrestling Opponents Special (Easy Explainer)

Meet The Miz and the Show He’s In

Imagine a big, fun TV show where athletes dress up and do cool, pretend fighting moves in a ring. That show is called WWE (a company that puts on these shows). A man named The Miz has been in this show for a long time. He has done over 2,000 official pretend fights (called matches) for the company! Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses, and sometimes he gets a special belt (called a title). He has fought many different people.

Recently, The Miz visited a chat show on the internet (a podcast) called "My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox." He looked back at the people he fought and talked about what each is really good at.

The Strongest Fighters

When asked who was the strongest, The Miz said:

• Brock Lesnar
• Oba Femi

But he made sure to explain that Brock Lesnar is the strongest of the two. Think of them like the biggest, most muscular kids on the playground.

The Funniest Fighters

Some wrestlers make you laugh instead of scared! Miz said the funniest was:

• Santino Marella

Miz said: "Every time I would have a match with him, I would be laughing during the match. Because he would just crack me up… Just some of the things that he would come up with are so funny!"

He also said:

• R-Truth is right up there too!
  Miz said Truth is "unlike any other superstar I’ve ever met in my life."

Why R-Truth Has Stayed So Long

R-Truth was actually The Miz’s old buddy when they fought as a team (tag team partner). Miz explained why Truth has kept his job for so long:

• He brings comedy (makes people laugh).
• He touches people’s hearts.
• When Truth sent a message last year saying he was let go (released) from the company, lots of other wrestlers and fans showed love. Fans even shouted "We Want Truth!" at shows.

Important Point:
The Miz really believes that being funny and kind to fans is why R-Truth is still around after all these years.

The "Stiffest" Wrestlers (What Does Stiff Mean?)

In wrestling talk, "stiff" means the person hits hard and you can feel every bump. It’s like getting a big hug that’s a little too strong!

Miz said the stiffest are:

• Sheamus
• Matt Cardona

Miz said: "I like wrestling those type of superstars, because you can feel every ounce." That means he knows they are really there!

The Best Technical Performers

"Technical" means doing smart, skillful moves like a careful dancer. The Miz named:

• Alex Shelly
• Bryan Danielson

These two are like the math whizzes of wrestling—they know all the tricky moves.
