The Miz

They were both on MTV.

They were both on MTV and they were like, it would be confusing this, that, and the other thing.

So I couldn't do that.

So I had to stick with UPW.

in Los Angeles, continue learning the art of fresh wrestling.

Plus I wasn't sure if I really wanted to be on tough enough because I started hurting rumblings because I was kind of, I guess you'd say in the know of, of wrestling.

Like I would hear stories that if you were on tough enough, you weren't respected.

And I wanted respect, right?

Like I felt like people were going to see me on a reality show and instantly say, he just wants his 15 minutes of fame.

which by the way I did, I'm not going to lie, but I did.

I do love, like, I love the, the, like, I guess being famous or, or doing things that, that get a clap.

If you, a pat on the back, maybe it's because when my childhood growing up, dad never liked,

patted me on the back and said I was doing great.

I don't know what it is, but I kind of always liked that.

Whenever there's a camera around, I always wanted to be in front of it, no matter what.

Even when I was in high school, I remember when news was around us.

I remember watching the Cleveland Guardians play, and we were at some sort of concert venue to watch them play because it was sold out in

in the stadium.

And I remember there was a news and I ran down just to try to get on the news.

And I was like poking my head, you know, and showing my Tommy socks.
