MJF has responded to Miz' praise.
Miz made an appearance on The Ringer wrestling podcast and had praise for MJF, saying he's ding a great job and being an original.
"I don't think he wants to be The Miz, to be honest. I don't think any superstar, no matter what company you're in, wants to be the next 'this person.' You want to be an original. There are comparisons. I've always been compared to, I was compared to Jericho for a while, I was compared to Ric Flair for a while. I don't want to be compared. I want to be an originator. You take things. When you're learning and coming up, you see things that you like out of certain superstars and are like, 'Oh, I'll use that, sprinkle of that, sprinkle of this' as an homage. In a sense, you want to be an original. I don't think he wants to be the next Miz, I think he wants to be the first him. Honestly, he's doing a great job at it. 25 years old. When I was 25 years old, I was still in developmental and Deep South Wrestling and still learning the trade. I wasn't putting on matches on national television and putting together memorable promos that people talk about. I wasn't doing that. Applaud to him," said Miz.
MJF saw Miz' praise and lobbed it back to him.
Miz is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.
