10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 21)

9. George Mizanin Ribs The Miz

George Mizanin = big money player.

The Miz likes to call himself an "A Lister" on WWE TV, but it's really his dad who is causing waves as a celebrity after his appearances in the company. According to Miz in an interview with Fatherly (which was mainly about the balancing act between pro wrestling and raising his baby daughter), George is now entrenched in celeb life.

For a laugh, George likes to phone his son and remind him that he's just spent an hour or so signing autographs for his many fans. This is a minor rib, obviously. Miz made it clear in the chat that his dad isn't actually some big shot who believes his own hype. He simply enjoys trolling his boy and gets a kick out of his reactions.

Things are about to get more hectic for George though. Miz also said in the interview that his dad will play a bigger role in the Miz & Mrs reality TV show going forward. Maybe we will get that WWE match with Shane McMahon at some point...
