Miz Speaks on Being Banned for 6 Months from the Locker Room

Posted by Marc Middleton on Friday, February 12th, 2010

Unified Tag champion The Miz was interviewed by Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun this week and told a story about getting kicked out of the WWE locker room for 6 months shortly after he joined the company. Miz said:

“I got kicked out for eating a piece of chicken over a guy’s bag in the locker room, and I got kicked out for six months. I had to find a place to shower, to use the restroom, to change. I’ve had it pretty rough in the WWE just because I’m an outsider, and WWE is kind of like a close-knit family or like a fraternity. Once you’re an outsider trying to lurk in, they will haze you and haze you and try to see if you’re up for the task or if you’re just going to quit. I’m not a quitter. I’m more of a person that says bring it on.”

Miz also talks about older guys like Hogan and Flair still wrestling, how the business
has evolved in recent years, his goals and more. To read the full interview, visit BaltimoreSun.com.

    to be fair, did anyone think he would have a job now? Never mind the US champion. He has done very well for himself

    I’ve liked the Miz since he was on Tough Enough. Now look at him,I bet his real world and road rules buddies never thought they’d see him become a huge star in WWE. He sure is hell is a better wrestler than the popular guys that the kiddies and girlies scream for. I hope he comes here this year when WWE rolls in to town.

    everything was handed to Cena after ’05 but up to that he was beat down week after week by top stars in order to prove himself

    He’s a hard working go-getter who has given it all to improve as a worker and has gone from initially being an embaressment to the business to becoming one of the most valuable and entertaining mid-carders the company has.
