As most of you know, WWE Superstar The Miz got his start in the professional wrestling business during season four of Tough Enough.
During a recent appearance on The Ringer’s “Death, Taxes, and Bananas” podcast, The Miz recalled Simon Dean convincing him to try out for the show and why he was initially uncertain as to whether he should participate. He said,
“I knew who Simon Dean was because he was on television at the time on SmackDown. I called him, and I said, ‘Hey, I’m just looking for a little bit of advice. Do you think that this is a good move if I want, you know, respect in the business?’ And he said, ‘Dude, this is called the million-dollar Tough Enough. You could be a millionaire if you win this. You will have a WWE contract. Do it. Do the show. This is your opportunity. This is your moment’. And I don’t know, if I didn’t get that kind of advice, if I would’ve taken that advice and done it.”
