The Times-Picayune out of New Orleans has a new article online featuring quotes from The Miz to promote Sunday’s WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. Below are the highlights:

Ric Flair passing down to him the figure-four leg lock:

Are you kidding me? When I was a kid, I was giving all my friends figure fours all the time. For him to pass it to me, it was incredible. I was so grateful.

Reputation in WWE and trying to get respect despot his “reality star” past:

I’m still trying to earn respect. But I’ve never looked at the reality thing as a negative. It was a positive. It allowed me to realize what I wanted to do with my life. Whenever a veteran says you’ve paid your dues and earned their respect, that’s a great feeling.

He did the Figure Four on his friends all the time as a kid but somehow struggles today to lock it in correctly?
Really, Miz? Really?

  He said he did on it his friends, prob botched it.
Just saying

For someone who claims he use to do it all the time, he sucks at doing the figure four almost as much as “Pluto” sucks at trolling ..
“teacH” BITCH

Whenever a WWE wrestler executes a move incorrectly, the announcers tell us it’s a “variation”. LOL

Gotta love The Miz, I was watching him on the Real World last week from an old VHS and it’s amazing how his dreams came true. Also, I misread the title of this as “The Miz on Flair passing” yikes
