WWE superstar The Miz likes it when fans boo him, stating how he takes the negative reactions from the crowd as a compliment.
Throughout his WWE career, the A-Lister has spent most of his time as one of the most hated superstars on the roster. With his arrogant attitude and underhanded tactics in the ring, The Awesome One is very easy for fans to despise.
Speaking to NFL anchor Rich Eisen on The Rich Eisen Show, the two-time WWE Champion spoke of how fans feel towards him and how he finds their reactions endearing.
“The WWE Universe, our fans would not call me a gentleman. They would say I’m arrogant, egotistical and the worst person in the world. Like when I walk out into the ring, people are booing me, chanting ‘you suck.’ And that’s a compliment to me.” H/T EWrestling News
