Tough Enough History: Season Four runner up. If you have been following the career of The Miz then you know that he didn't have it easy after signing a developmental deal with WWE. He worked hard to get out of developmental and when he made it on the main roster he had to endure some rookie hazing too, so to speak. When he was on Tough Enough he already had a lot of reality TV experience because he was part of MTV's Real World series, so he was very comfortable on camera from the start. He ended up finishing second in season four of Tough Enough because they chose Daniel Puder, who definitely had more of the look of a wrestler, but lacked the charisma that Miz had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1SeXziXY70 The Miz is the only Tough Enough contestant that can say that he main evented a WrestleMania and that's been the WWE Champion. Whether you think he deserved it or not (CM Punk, how you doing?) will never erase the fact that he was in the main event of WrestleMania 27 against John Cena. It seems unlikely that he will ever get to the top again, but he did deserve it and earned the right to be there. It would be smart for WWE to involve The Miz in the new Tough Enough in some way just because of his history as part of the show although as a heel character they might want to keep him away from it. Give Miz a lot of credit for showing that somebody can go from being a reality TV star to being a top guy that is the most successful Tough Enough star that there's ever been.
