During a recent interview with WrestleBinge, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long lavished praise on The Miz and John Morrison, and hailed the two-time WWE Grand Slam Champion as a “great guy to work with.” Teddy said,
“Oh yeah, man, I had a great time with both of them. In fact, I had the chance to meet The Miz way before I met John Morrison. The Miz came up through Tough Enough, and also he went to the school of Deep South (Wrestling). So basically, that’s where he got all of his training. And then he got up to the big card on RAW and SmackDown. So The Miz was always a great guy to work with.”
