Mike "The Miz" Mizanin will always be the best product the WWE ever discovered through its reality tv show programs, and the Miz is an expert on reality TV. Getting his break on The Real World in 2001, The Miz would join the $1,000,000 season of Tough Enough, which also featured John Morrison and Ryback. The Miz would make it to the final 2, against eventual winner Daniel Puder. While Puder would have a short run in the company, The Miz would be signed to a developmental contract and sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling.

The Miz would later debut on Smackdown in 2006, mainly playing the role as a host, interviewer and hype man before he transitioned to an in-ring competitor. Since then, The Miz has gone through some fantastic patches in his career, having won the WWE Championship and even having headlined a Wrestlemania against John Cena. The Miz is also a 7 time Tag Team Champion and 8-time Intercontinental Champion. The Miz has had a career resurgent in his recent Intercontinental Championship reigns as well as his feud with Daniel Bryan.
