WWE's 2017 All-Stars: Top 7 Superstars of the year

#2 The Miz

Enter captio — The Miz is WWE's true showman!

When his career is over, fans and critics alike will look back at his career with the utmost reverence, realizing that The Miz is someone who had a dream as a child and never allowed anything, nor anyone to detour him from achieving that very goal. That goal was to become a WWE Superstar and Mike Mizanin is a perfect example of a true self-made WWE Superstar.

Early in his career, there was a lot of doubt, understandably so. After all, the only thing fans knew about him was that he was some loud-mouthed jerk from an MTV reality television show. But as his career progressed, The Miz began to improve his in-ring work and his persona became increasingly entertaining. When the dust finally settled, the fans discovered that there was a legitimate star emerging from that inflated ego.

Fast forward to 2017, The Miz has accomplished way more than anyone, including himself, could have ever anticipated. The Miz is now a 7-time Intercontinental Champion, 6-time tag team champion, former WWE Champion, 2-time United States Champion and so on. Not to mention The Miz is also WWE Triple Crown winner, as well as a WWE Grand Slam winner.
