The Miz Names the Funniest Wrestlers He’s Ever Met

The Miz, having won every major title in WWE twice, seems to have been having a blast lately, committing to the role of comedic foil to Danhausen. Though he’s currently playing an electrocuted zombie version of himself on TV, the real Mike Mizanin stopped by My Mom’s Basement With Robbie Fox to talk about many topics, including who he thinks have been the best comedy wrestlers.

His top answer may not surprise longtime WWE fans: “Santino Marella. I mean it, every time I would have a match with him, I would be laughing during the match, really, because he would just crack me up. Just some of the things that he would come up with is so funny.”

However, he had to add a second choice, saying, “[R-]Truth is also right up there. And the reason being is Truth is unlike any other superstar I’ve ever met in my life. Yeah. One, he’s able to last as long as he has because of the comedy he brings, the people that he touches.”

“And you know that he touches people because when he sent out a tweet last year about being released, you saw all the superstars pour in there and say, ‘Oh my god, this is this can’t be.’ The fans started chanting, ‘We want Truth.’ Had a whole revolution to basically get his job back. So now he’s still there and still making us laugh, still making us feel. He’s a pretty incredible person. Plus, Awesome Truth, of course, tag team champions with him many times.”

Will Danhausen double-curse him for not naming Danhausen number one? Stay tuned.
