The Miz Looking For Defining Moment To Become Top WWE Star

United States & Unified WWE Tag Team Champion The Miz says he’s looking for that “one defining moment” ala “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s “Austin 3:16″ promo at the 1996 King of the Ring to solidify himself as a top star capable of being the face of the company.

In an interview with Tim Baines of the Ottawa Sun in Canada, Miz referenced his locker room treatment early in WWE when he felt he was tested to see how committed he was. “I want to be remembered as a legend in the WWE. I don’t just want to be world
champion or WWE champion, I want to be the poster child of WWE and wrestling, just like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Austin,” Miz said. “To see those names still in marquees is incredible to me, but I want their spot.”

WWE has an opportunity to put Miz and Steve Austin in the same picture on Raw this coming Monday when Austin guest-hosts Raw. This would follow WWE putting Miz in the ring with Shawn Michaels and Triple H on Raw two weeks ago in a Unified tag title match to continue presenting Miz as a credible star. “I remember when Stone Cold Steve Austin really had that defining moment,” Miz said. “So I guess I’m waiting for that defining moment that sets me apart from everybody else.”

I hope when He is on Raw with Stone Cold, Stone Cold gives him the stunner.

Regardless if ppl hate him, he's one of the top heels right now....interacting with Austin can propel him into the big time.

I too want Austin to give him the stunner. It's nice to see Miz get owned, guess he's not as AWESOME as he claims to be!

The Miz is indeed awesome

Meh, I think he sucks

I think He stinks too, I enjoy seeing him get his butt kicked. Sorry I think Punk and Jericho are better heels then he is.

Those statements show his just how dedicated he is to being the absolute best. He's done nothing but improve since he's come to WWE and with his work ethic, he'l probably succeed.
