The Miz (real name - Michael Gregory Mizanian) is an American professional wrestler and actor currently signed to WWE. Standing 6 ft 2 inches tall and weighing in at 221 pounds, The Miz has always been a good fit for the squared circle and his accolades in the ring are proof of his greatness.


The A-Lister holds some really crazy records in WWE. For the record, he is the first-ever double Grand Slam Champion in the history of WWE. This means that he was the first person to win the tag titles, Intercontinental Championship, US Championship, and the World Championship twice. The Miz has also held the Money in the Bank briefcase twice. And, of course, he has beaten John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania.


While The Miz is famous mostly for his work with WWE, not many remember that he rose to prominence for his work in reality television. He appeared in Real World: Back to New York in 2001. Then, he made his way to the show’s spinoff Real World/Road Rules Challenge where he worked from 2002 to 2005. Once he settled into reality television and became a familiar face, The Miz made his way to WWE’s Tough Enough and the rest is history. Even after becoming a full-time wrestler, The Miz has worked in many movies and TV shows.
