Michael Mizanin, better known by his ring name, The Miz, has had one of the most unique rises to prominence in WWE history. Michael made his first on-TV appearance as a cast member on MTV's The Real World: Back to New York in 2001. Later, Mike entered the WWE competition television show, Tough Enough, in its fourth season. The Miz finished runner up but was able to join the brand's developmental subsidiaries. Years later, The Miz was drafted into the ECW branch of the WWE in 2007. Since then, he's become one of the most dominant presences in the modern day era of the WWE.
The Miz has won a total of eight WWE Intercontinental Championships, two WWE United States Championships, all the while earning the WWE Championship belt and defending it against John Cena in Wrestlemania XXVII main event where he surprisingly ended up being the victor. Wrestling fans might not like The Miz for his antics but, he continues to win and work hard. Oh yeah, he's currently the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion alongside Shane McMahon, he's unstoppable.
