The Miz recently appeared as a guest on “Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss” and spoke about the life of a modern WWE Superstar. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.

On the road schedule in WWE:

“It’s nonstop, all day, every day. I mean, I leave probably L.A. on a Friday, at like 6 am usually on a flight, get in around 2 [pm]. I’ll go work out wherever it could be like, Omaha, you basically find a Gold’s Gym or a L.A. Fitness or whatever gym you can find. Go in there, work out, you go get a meal at the local Outback [Steakhouse] or Texas Roadhouse and then you go to your show. After the show you go either to the hotel or you drive on to the next city, which is usually around 3 hours away. And usually you drive with whoever, whatever Superstars you want to drive with, whoever your friends are.”

On who he travels with in WWE and learning to be humble and being willing to travel with anyone:

“I usually drive with Dolph Ziggler and Zack Ryder. They’re fun guys and Dolph has been trying to do some comedy, so he’s funny. He’s so funny. He’s so quick witted, so it’s definitely something I think he’ll be really good at.” The Miz continued, “I’ll ride with whoever. If a guy needs a ride, I’ll give him a ride. I had so much stuff when I was first coming in with the WWE that I was like, ‘alright, I will never be this. I will always try to be nice to everyone.’ You kind of learn your lesson. Back in the day, I was from [MTV’s] ‘The Real World’ and when you’re from ‘The Real World’, you’re not supposed to have any talent. You’re not supposed to be able to do anything. You’re a reality star. You’re nothing. You’re a nobody, so you have to kind of walk over into the WWE where it’s almost like a fraternity, not just with the Superstars, but with the audience as well. So it was kind of one of those things where I had to elevate myself and prove myself day in and day out and I’m still proving myself to this day.”

On his WWE career being the hardest thing he’s ever done, much more so than acting:

“WWE is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. It’s not only acting, it’s not only athleticism, but it’s traveling, it’s nonstop, it’s eating right, working out. It’s basically a theater. It’s a big theater and you get instant gratification. You know if they’re booing you or cheering you. In a movie, you get a bunch of different takes. You only get one take in WWE.”

On WWE having a much more strict drug testing policy than professional sports:

“We are tested more than an NFL [player], Major League Baseball player, or in the NBA. I mean, we are tested nonstop, all day, every day. We’re not allowed to have Sudafed. [If] you have a Sudafed, you’re out 30 days, so it’s legit. The stuff you maybe got away with back in the day, you don’t get away with now. And kudos to WWE because they took an interest in our health. We get tested. Our hearts get tested. We get tested every six months. We get blood tested, we get our heart monitored, and it’s great.”

On ring rats:

“Back in the day, like, in the 80s, I think there was, like, people would be at the hotels, like, every hotel no matter what, wherever. The only time that people really are at our hotels in full fledged of hundreds of people is in, like, Europe. I’ve never really noticed it, I guess you could say.”
