The Miz Says His Daughters Love Danhausen, Think He’s ‘So Funny’

The Miz is fighting his own household’s perceptions of Danhausen, noting that his daughters are big fans of his WWE Backlash opponent. The A-Lister has been feuding with Danhausen as of late and has been cursed by the Very Nice, Very Evil One, though Miz refuses to accept that fact.

Miz and Kit Wilson will face Danhausen and a mystery partner at WWE Backlash, and Miz appeared on The Rich Eisen Show to promote the PLE. He ran down the travails that he’s had dealing with Danhausen and noted that even his daughters love his opponent. You can see the highlights below:

On Being Cursed By Danhausen:

“We’re taking on a guy named Danhausen who curses people, and people believe in this curse. People believe so much in this curse that I’m in a tag team match for the Tag Team Championships. I hit a guy with the Skull Crushing Finale, I go to cover him. One, two, the referee gets a cramp in his shoulder. Could you imagine an NFL referee saying, ‘Sorry guys, I got a cramp. I missed that play. I cost you the game.’ What do you think would happen to that person? Because in WWE, he said, ‘Oh, it’s okay. It’s no problem. It happens.’ No, it doesn’t happen. What happens is, ‘One, two, three, I’m the Tag Team Champion.’ I’m no longer Tag Team Champion.

“Not only that, by the way, Danhausen has blown me up. Two weeks ago, pyro just blows up in the ring. People are saying, ‘Oh, it’s a curse.’ No, it’s not. It’s the pyro guy doing the pyro wrong at the wrong time, and hitting me in the face and cost me a match. These are the type of things that happened. Danhausen has also ruined my vow renewal with my wife. I was going to renew my vows with my wife. We were doing it. We were doing a special thing at at WrestleMania where I would basically officiate weddings, which I thought was beautiful. I remember when I married my wife for the first time and then my wife surprised me. She says, ‘You know what? We’re going to renew our vows right now.’ I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is amazing.’ In front of our daughters, who have never seen us get married. This is crazy. We got married before they were boring. And so then what happens? Danhausen shows up and ruins everything. My wife gets cake in her face. I get cake in my face. And so he ruined my my vow reveal. Not only that, he stole my daughter’s bike. Danhausen stole my daughter’s bike.”

On Danhausen’s Popularity:

‘People are cheering him. They love him. My daughters, Rich? My daughters love him, think he’s so funny. I was like, ‘He stole your bike!’ And she’s like, ‘That’s okay. You’ll just buy me a new one.’ I’m like, ‘What are we doing here? It’s your first bike. Like, that has sentimental value to me to you, too.

‘This is not a guy that we should be looking at going, ‘Oh my god, he should be going up against a person that’s been in WWE for 20 years, has main evented WrestleMania. Two-time WWE Champion and I’m going up against this guy, and people think this guy’s going to beat me? I don’t think so.’
