WWE Superstar The Miz recently responded to a fan question on TikTok and revealed that he prefers getting booed and that he thrives on it. The Miz said that it’s something he gets from his father.
When a fan asked how he handles being booed, The Miz answered with the following,
“Honestly? I thrive on it. Like, I live for the boos. Like, I love it. Some people like to be booed or chanted ‘you suck’; I’m a button pusher. I’ve gotten it from my dad. I realized I got it from my dad when we were in San Francisco at WrestleMania. And my dad said something to me, and I said ‘Don’t worry about it.’ And then he said it again, and again. And I looked at him in the eye and went, ‘Oh my god, I do this. I do this to everyone. He’s being really annoying right now.’ And I went in my head, ‘Oh my god, maybe I got this from him.'”
Miz continued, “I enjoy the booing. So if you’re going to boo me, boo me louder. And if you start cheering me, I’m probably gonna’ turn it to make sure that you’re booing me, because I just like it more. I live by this quote: ‘I’d rather you hate me for everything I am, then love me for something I’m not.’ So that’s what I go by.”
