The Miz Discusses Enjoying Working Stiff

Despite his penchant and love for comedy-style hijinks in wrestling matches, The Miz, it seems, also has a taste for full contact. He also has absolutely zero hesitation about saying who pulls their punches the least.

Talking with Robbie Fox on My Mom’s Basement, he barely let Fox get the question out as to who his stiffest opponent was before interjecting: “Sheamus.” Fox immediately replied, “That’s what Matt Cardona just told us.”

“Oh, oh, Cardona’s one too!” Miz said, prompting Fox to note that Cardona’s wife, Chelsea Green, had jumped in at that point and named the Miz.

“Holy cow. It’s real, man. It’s still real to me,” said Miz. “You’re in it, and I like wrestling those type of superstars because you can really feel every ounce. You know, you’re selling, and it’s real.”

On that note, he says the move that hurts the most for real is anything involving lifting him up high and slamming him on his back, specifically, “anyone that does a power bomb where you’re up on their shoulders and they power bomb. That’s always bad. Maybe a choke slam’s pretty brutal because when I want to take a choke slam, I’m going as high as I possibly can, and when you come back down, oh, your back feels it. Great Khali would have to be number one.”
