The Miz was recently a guest on Busted Open Radio on SiriusXM Rush 93. During the interview, he explained why he will never be a locker room leader in WWE, even though he has been with the company for over a decade.
Here is what the Miz said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quote below):
“No. I don’t think I will ever be a locker room leader like The Undertaker or John Cena. That is just not my role. I am not someone that sits in the back watching the monitor and observing everyone. I have to get in the ring to feel exactly how you are. That is how I teach. I teach by example, instead of saying to them what they did wrong. I need to get in the ring with them and be able to feel what the are doing, so that is how I am able to teach.
I am not one of those people that people go to and people ask for my advice. I don’t know, it’s tough for me to give a person advice when I wasn’t in the ring with them. I don’t know what their mindset is. I don’t know why they did what they did and when they did it. I have to hear an audience, and feel an audience to know exactly why I am doing something.”
Speaking of the Miz, he recently defended Roman Reigns against criticism from fans. You can read his comments here.
