The Miz

I know, what a surprise.

And I ended up having to put ointment on my skin because it was burnt.

But you got to be on TV.

But I got to be on TV.

And so then when I tried out for The Real World that next August, they almost didn't want me on the show because they thought I just...

Like, I just wanted to be famous, right?

And so, but luckily for me, I went through all the interviews and made it on the show.

And once I made it onto that show, yeah, back to Tough Enough.

So I wanted to try out for Tough Enough.

They wouldn't let me do Tough Enough.

So I started doing that.

And then I got a call from WWE saying, Hey, would you like to try out for tough enough?

We're doing it in Venice.

There's 50 people that will show up and you have to just try out.

And I said, absolutely.

Well, actually,

think I said yes, or I might've said, let me think about it.

And I called Rick Bassman, who got me in touch with Simon Dean, who was also from UPW and was on the show at the time.

And I asked, I remember asking Simon Dean, I was like, dude, or Mike Bucci, I was like,

do, would you do this?
