The Miz talks about playing a heel or as a babyface.
Throughout the course of Miz's career in WWE, he has largely been a heel, with short runs as a babyface spread throughout. At present, Miz is a babyface on RAW, teaming with R-Truth. The pair recently lost the WWE World Tag Team Titles, but remain a team.
While speaking to WrestleRant Radio in a recent interview, Miz was asked about playing a babyface, and if he's gotten used to playing the role yet.
"No, I'm not used to it at all. People are like, what would you rather be? It's like, I love being hated. A lot of people, some bad guys don't like to be hated. They'll go on X or Instagram and look at the comments to see if they're like, 'oh, I don't like him, but man, is he cool'. Or I don't like him, but man, he's got cool moves. I don't like that. I want people to despise me and can't stand me. That's me doing my job to the best of my ability. Now after, I don't know what, 18 years of being a bad guy, all of a sudden you attach yourself to R-Truth and you're going to be beloved because there is no one more beloved in WWE than R-Truth. People always say like, I'm underrated. I don't think people realize how underrated R-Truth is as a talent. He's been here longer than everybody else and has been able to evolve and make amazing content. Like he's taken seriously, but he also can be funny. That's very difficult to do. Very difficult. Funny is usually you're not taken seriously. You're just a goof. Truth is able to find that fine line and I'm loving being along with the rides with him."
Chelsea Green recently noted that she hopes to become the female Miz of the wrestling industry. You can read more about that here.
