The Miz Spoke to SI Now ahead of WrestleMania. During the interview he addressed John Oliver's statements on WWE and defended the company, saying that they had given him everything he'd ever wanted:
"Who doesn't take shots at WWE, especially when WrestleMania is around? All the news is about that," Miz said. "The way I look at what he said, and I don't know all of it verbatim... I've been there for 13+ years. I met my wife in WWE, and we now have a child together and trust me, I live a pretty incredible life.
"It's not every day where you get to go out in front of 80,000 people and either have them boo or cheer you, but be interactive. We get to create moments that last a lifetime. And the way I'm treated, I've got to perform in movies with WWE Studios, I have my own reality show 'Miz & Mrs.' on the USA Network, which you can see every Tuesday. I've been so fortunate of everything that WWE has given to me. H/T: WrestlingInc
The Miz also pointed out that every company had disgruntled employees:
"Now, are there people that are going to be disgruntled and upset? I imagine you have people here at SI Now that are disgruntled and upset... 'Oh, I should get this, I should get that...' But the thing is, it's like, what are you doing to get it? And I feel like I've gotten everything I've ever wanted from WWE, and more." H/T: WrestlingInc
