#2 The Miz
One half of the current WWE tag team champions and a former WWE champion, The Miz has enjoyed success in Hollywood, starring in Marine 3: Homefront, and has also headlined WrestleMania – a dream that most of the wrestlers fail to live. Miz has also hosted the WWE Diva Search back in 2006, and has since won numerous titles in the WWE.

But before he could work the crowd in the company, The Miz started his career as a TV personality on the MTV hit series, The Real World. He then also starred in its spinoff series, Real World – Road Rules Challenge.
After gaining fame because of the MTV reality shows, he entered the fourth season of WWE Tough Enough challenge but finished as the runner-up. He then made appearances on various television shows, before finally making his mind up to seriously pursue professional wrestling as a career.
Due to his previous stints as a TV personality, the WWE offered him a contract with the company, and the rest as they say, is history.
