My first introduction to The Miz was back in 2001 when he appeared as a cast member on MTV's hit reality television series "The Real World." I must admit, my first impressions of this guy were not very favourable. In fact, I loathed Mike Mizanin. However, I was hooked on the show, which was due to his addictively entertaining persona. Little did I know, I was already on my way to becoming a Miz fan, even before he ever hit the ropes.

The Miz has certainly risen to the top of the WWE food chain and has become one of the top Superstars on any current roster. Not only has The Miz accumulated a plethora of WWE accolades, which include Triple Crown and Grand Slam wins, but he has also done pretty well for himself on the big screen, with leading roles in a number of feature films.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
