10 MORE WWE Wrestlers Who Are Almost Unrecognisable Since Debuting

3. The Miz

It's been said before, and it will be said until he retires: The Miz deserves so much respect for genuinely improving himself and becoming a wrestler. He started his WWE tenure as an MTV reality star who felt entirely out of place in the business but now has an incredibly decorated career.

When he debuted for the company, The Miz looked like all the worst reality TV star tropes rolled into one. He had spiked hair with frosted blonde tips, shorts that looked like a Jersey Shore teenager designed them, and a trilby hat that stank of "m'lady" energy. Overall, it was not the best look, and the fans weren't feeling it.

Despite that disastrous start - as already stated - he worked hard and turned himself into a pro wrestler rather than a crossover star. Nowadays, he sports an over-the-top yet straightforward look, with lavishly detailed short trunks, an excellent entrance jacket, and a far more sensible haircut. Plus, he's in great shape, chucking some definition on and looking like a wrestler, rather than a "celebrity".

If you ever enter a job and feel out of place, just remember how The Miz became a believable and successful wrestler, despite initially looking more dated than Space Jam.
