- WWE's United States Champion The Miz recently spoke with The Orlando Sentinel. Here are some of the highlights:
You got to interact with him (Ozzy Osbourne) but can you flex your pecs to “Crazy Train” like Chris Masters’ did?
(laughs) I think that actually stole the entire show. It’s what
everyone is talking about! A man that can flex his pecs to “Crazy
Train”. I mean, did that really happen? Chris Masters isn’t the type of
person to go out there and start shaking his boobs but then all of a
sudden he just starting doing it. It was absolutely incredible.
What was your first reaction when you heard that Shane McMahon was leaving the company?
My first reaction – I thought maybe he wanted to do something else
that wasn’t wrestling-related. Maybe he wanted to venture off on his
own which I wish him the best of luck with whatever he does. I’m not
sure exactly what he’s going to do but if I was a son growing up with a
father as powerful as Vince McMahon, and always kind of doing what my
daddy did and that kind of stuff. I think it’s very noble of him to say
you know what, I want to venture out. I want to do something different.
So, hopefully he’ll do great and I imagine he will.
Next year at WrestleMania, you’ll probably be in your first
singles match for that event. Where do you expect to be when it comes
to that show?
For WrestleMania 26 - which tickets go on sale this Saturday,
November 7th - I plan on doing something very big. WrestleMania is our
Superbowl. WrestleMania is the biggest event that we all wait for, that
we all look forward to. So when that moment comes, I plan to be ready.
I’m hoping to have a singles match. If not, I’ll hopefully be in the
Money in the Bank where I can win an opportunity to go up for the World
Championship or the WWE Championship. So I look forward to
WrestleMania. There’s always something that’s unpredictable, that
shocks and awes audiences, that people will talk about for years to
come. Last year, if you remember, Mickey Rourke came on who is an Oscar
nominated actor and actually knocked out Chris Jericho. You had that
amazing, amazing match with Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker that was
an instant classic. So I’m looking forward to this WrestleMania where
I’ll actually get to be into it and hopefully make a classic match and
memorable memories for everyone.
