“When I first came to WWE, not a single person respected me. Not anyone in the WWE Universe and not anyone in the WWE locker room. Everyone wanted to get rid of me. They made my life a living hell. For 6 months, 6 months, I was banned from the WWE locker room. I would have to find a place to change, a place to shower, a place to use the restroom. I would walk down these halls and see Superstar’s like JBL, and everyday that JBL saw me he would say, “Miz, I look forward to your amazing work! Miz, you are a gift from God, Miz!” Everybody berated me. Everyone wanted me to quit. But all that negativity I used as fuel to ignite a wrath against everyone in the WWE to become the star I am today.”
