USA Today’s “For The Win” blog has a new article that discusses the success of Miz TV and how The Miz’s career has changed since Maryse made her WWE return. Here are some of the quotes from The Miz featured in the article:
The original idea for Miz TV and how it has evolved over time:
“The first idea for Miz TV that came along in like 2011 and my idea was, I want to be on this thing and make fun of people and beat people up,” The Miz said. “All of a sudden, we did the show and I ended up getting beat up and made fun of. I was like, How does this happen?
“It’s changed over time where I have become an antagonist. I would push people’s buttons and see where I could get them for the most interaction. But we’ve also been able to use it as a showcase for (Miz and Maryse) and tell our story and get that across. That’s’ what I want to use it for.”
How Maryse returning to WWE has changed his career:
“I had become this arrogant and egotistical character, but ever since my wife has come back into WWE, I feel like my career has soared,” Miz admitted. “It’s given me a new type of confidence. Whenever you wrestle in Speedos in front of your wife, you want to show off. You don’t want to get your butt kicked in front of your wife. And she helps out where she can. It’s great having her around. She’s a huge part of why I’ve had the success I’ve had.”
The First Episode of Miz TV
Miz TV made it’s debut on September 17th, 2012. Booker T was the first guest on the show and the first episode ended with Ryback storming the ring and destroying the set. Sheamus & Cesaro were the most recent guests on the 58th episode of Miz TV on this past week’s episode of RAW.
