The Miz (@MizGolf) is a professional wrestler in WWE. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Washington, DC to discuss his unlikely journey from reality TV to WWE by entering Tough Enough, getting kicked out of the locker room and how he was let back in, winning the WWE Championship and defending it against John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 27, finally getting his flowers, whether he feels respected from the fans, that iconic Talking Smack segment with Daniel Bryan, how he met his wife Maryse in WWE, a possible babyface run, and much more!
