2018's Best-of-the-Best: Top 7 WWE Superstars from the first-half of 2018

#3 The Miz

Ent — Even after 15 years, he is still...AWESOME!

The Miz is truly a once in a lifetime, magical story of someone who had a dream and did everything necessary to achieve that dream.

When he was a cast member on MTV's The Real World, he came across as a pompous, arrogant kid who wanted to be a "pro 'rassler". No one believed in Mike Mizanin...no one except Mike himself.

The Miz is a prime example of what can happen when you believe in yourself, even when the whole world calls you insane.

The Miz not only kicked and clawed his way into a WWE contract, but he also worked his way into title contention and eventually became a Championship Superstar.

Ever since his debut in 2003, The Miz has defied the odds and has remained high atop the main roster as one of the true greats of this era and now at 37 years young, The Miz is still in championship form, with a ton of fuel left in his tank.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
