10 Most ANNOYING Wrestlers Ever
8. ‘Celeb Host’ The Miz
Time for back to back entries that weren't supposed to be as irritating as they were.
The Miz was part of Tough Enough's season four cast in 2004. Given his history on reality TV and in front of the cameras, it was no shocker that Mike Mizanin came pre-armed and ready to show off his personality. That might've worked on the faux-reality show Tough Enough, but things were somewhat different once Miz hit WWE mainline programming in 2006.
His work as a hyped up host for the Diva Search was dreadful. Miz botched his lines, wasted valuable time on flagship show Raw and generally looked like he was out of his depth. Being fair, the guy was dealing with a lot of undue hate behind the scenes for daring to believe in himself. Punted from the locker room, Miz often had to get ready in public bathrooms before doing his thing.
Nobody's defending that backstage bullying culture by any means. Thankfully, it hardened Miz's desire to prove everyone wrong. He'd go on to do that by having actual matches worth seeing and cultivating a persona first introduced to TV on The Real World, but those not-so-humble beginnings on the main roster? Yikes, they were rough.
Fans just didn't want to see The Miz fawning over bikini-clad aspiring Divas or fudging his scripted lines live on air. It's incredible that this unfancied and unlikeable outsider went on to become one of the best all-rounders of his generation. He was so damn annoying when he first showed up on Raw.
