The Miz recounts great advice from Billy Kidman

The Miz is one of the most accomplished WWE Superstars currently competing in the promotion.

However, it wasn't always smooth sailing when it comes to the career of The Miz in WWE. Prior to becoming a WWE Superstar, The Miz found fame on reality television shows such as 'The Real World'. But, this would lead to friction once being signed to a WWE contract as many old-school wrestlers saw The Miz as an "outsider".

During a recent interview on Booker T's Hall of Fame podcast, The Miz recalled a story about receiving some inspirational advice from former WWE Superstar Billy Kidman. At the time The Miz was still a cast member on The Real World but bumped into Kidman at an event at the Playboy Mansion:

"I was on The Real World and I met him at the Playboy Mansion because Torrie Wilson's cover was coming out," "I saw Billy and I ask him, 'what's your best advice?' and he goes, 'Honestly, I could tell you all these different things, but stick with it.' The reason it was the best advice is, it sounds so simple, but so many people find different excuses on why they never made it; family, friends, you have to sacrifice everything to get there and you have to find all the tools and pieces you need to get there and you have to figure out a way to get there. 'Stick with it' was very small, but it meant the most to me at that time." ( h/t Fightful)
