Ex ‘Real World’ Star Becomes WWE Champion

You might remember Mike Mizanin from The Real World: Back to New York and Real World/Road Rules Challenge. What you might not have known is that, since then, Mizanin has been in the professional wrestling circuit. He’s spent the past 6 years gaining momentum in the WWE as “The Miz,” and recently won a contract to contend for the WWE Championship during the “Money in the Bank” Pay-Per-View.

His rising fame in the WWE has earned him nicknames like “The Awesome One,” “The Chick Magnet,” “The Grand Mizard of Lust,” and “The Monk of Mojo.” Seriously? Who came up with these nicknames? And I thought the WWE was running out of ideas years ago when I stopped watching…

On November 22nd, The Miz made good on that contract by challenging Randy Orton to a championship match. The Miz won in a suprise upset, and now a reality TV star has risen to the top of the professional wrestling world. Fake it ’til you make it, Miz!
