#4 Liked: The Miz's trunks (instead of shorts)
The Miz was fired from WWE by RAW guest host Jeremy Piven in August 2009, so he turned up on the next week’s episode of RAW under a mask and with a new ‘Calgary Kid’ gimmick.

This also involved a change in attire, with Miz ditching his shorts to wear red trunks as part of his ‘Calgary Kid’ disguise.
As the man himself recalled on Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss in 2016, Vince McMahon liked Miz’s new ring gear and told him to wear trunks instead of shorts in the future.
“When I got [backstage], one of the talent relations guys goes, 'Vince loves you in trunks. You are wearing trunks from now on.' I was like, 'I don't want to wear trunks! I don't want to wear trunks!' And it's like, if Vince McMahon says, 'you're going to wear trunks from now on,' you're going to wear trunks from now on, so I started wearing trunks and I haven't gone back.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
Over a decade later, Miz has gone on to become one of the most decorated Superstars of his generation, and he still wears trunks to this day.
