The Miz first appeared on WWE programming as a contender on the 2004 season of Tough Enough. Even though he was the runner-up in the competition, his charismatic personality shone through. Not long afterwards, he was signed full time to the Smackdown brand.

It wasn’t the best of starts for the Chick Magnet however; he had a few hiccups as the host of the 2006 Diva Search as well as some issues with the locker room and backstage staff.

Despite these setbacks, The Miz has grown into one of the most accomplished and must-see superstars in WWE history. Throughout his tenure, he has won multiple tag team championships with a variety of partners including John Morrison, The Big Show and Damien Sandow. As a singles star he is a two-time United States champion, a Money in the Bank winner and of course a former WWE Champion.

Arguably, his biggest professional achievement to date is being the second longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in history over a combined eight reigns! The current record is nine reigns, so there’s every possibility he can break that record. Recently, he has gone back to his reality TV roots with his new show ‘Miz and Mrs’ along with wife, Maryse and their ever-growing family.

David H and the panel take a look at the career progression of The Awesome One. From his early days transitioning from reality TV to WWE, his continuous progression over the last 15 years and where we’d like to see him in years to come.
