The Miz Exclusive Interview: 'Cannonball', Reality TV Roots, WWE Without Crowds & More

The Miz Real World
MTV

When you first joined 'The Real World', was there any way you imagined a scenario where you are where you are right now in life doing all these cool things?

Miz: No absolutely not. When I was on The Real World, Bunim/Murray was the production company. Now, with 'Miz & Mrs.', I had a choice for what production company I wanted to use for that show and I chose Bunim/Murray because of the relationship I had with them on The Real World. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for MTV's The Real World. If I wasn't on that show, I wouldn't have had the confidence to leave college, move to L.A. and pursue my dreams. My life, if I didn't get on The Real World, probably would have been dropping out of college, moving back to Cleveland, and working for my dad flipping burgers for the rest of my life.
