#2. The Miz

The Miz, just like Kofi Kingston, is a classic case of an overachiever in WWE. Brought into the company in 2006, he had a stigma about him due to his past as a reality TV star. Given that he was new around the time, he crossed paths with many locker room veterans with large egos, famously being thrown out of the locker room for eating chicken over Chris Benoit's bag.
However, The Miz is an example of hard work and dedication to the craft, remaining one of WWE's most hated figures for the good part of a decade. Fans loved to hate him and Cody Rhodes even praised The Miz, once saying that he works just as hard as John Cena outside the ring.
The Miz was just a fan who turned into a Grand Slam Champion, having won almost everything there is to in the company. He remains a relevant figure who wins and competes for Championships.
The reality star-turned wrestler will one day cement his place in the WWE Hall of Fame.
