WWE legend JBL has praised former world champion The Miz, saying he had one of the most impressive careers in the business.

The fact that they’re sending him around the world because he’s so talented,” the Hall of Famer said. “I’ve always thought The Miz had one of the best careers in the history of this business because he didn’t learn on the premises.”
JBL then explained his reasoning for putting Miz on such a high pedestal, noting that he hasn’t gone through the same territory as JBL and his peers. Rather, The Miz came up through the reality show Tough Enough, which meant he had to learn how to wrestle after becoming a wrestler.
“You know, he came in when we had a Quite a loaded list 20 odd years agoand he didn’t have the benefit of having a thousand matches before he got there, like us. She went on the reality show ‘Tough Enough’ and all of a sudden she’s now learning on TV,” she said. “The Miz learned a lot on world television and still built a Hall of Fame career. There are very few people in the history of the business, I don’t think I could have done it, that could have had the trajectory that Miz had.”
