The Miz Talks About WrestleMania Next Year, McMahon Leaving & More

- 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.

agree man, WWE got the talent but obviously they don't want to use them because is all about HHH,Cena,Orton,etc. I'm a HHH fan but even myself is tired to see him in a main event WWE Title Match. For those who say that HBK is in the Championship Picture everytime let me ask this question:

When was the last time HBK was a World Champion?

I Believe it was 7 years ago from Survivor Series 2002 to Armageddon 2002.  I Hope he wins the WWE Title at Survivor Series but obviously is not gonna happen sadly. At least HBK has put over the young guys even DAIVARI OF ALL PEOPLE 5 years ago in a Handicap Match that also feature Muhammad Hassan.

When is the last time Kane got a WWE Title run? Lets see.... Hmmmm..... ummmm.....

.......

Hold on still trying to think of it.....


........


Oh YEAH!

23 hour reign in 1998 when he won the title from Stone Cold Steve Austin at KOTR in a First Blood Match, then lost it to Stone Cold the next night on RAW. Someone whos been this loyal to WWE for so long deserves one good World Heavyweight Championship run. The ECW title doesnt count for those of you who will throw that out there. The collective wrestling world wipes its a$$ with the ECW title, thats how little it means.

Now would be the perfect time to give Kane one good title run. Feud with Taker and bring us some Attitude Era electricty to a freakin storyline for once! Have Taker drop the title to Kane at Armageddon (Or TLC as its now called) and then have Taker take the strap back at Wrestlemania. Or, for those of you who can't sit well with Kane being in the WM Main Event, have him lose the strap at No Way Out (Now called Elimination Chamber).

Love him or hate him, Kane deserves one good run with the big strap. JBL got his for being a loyal employee, now Kane should too.

RiseFromTheAshes i agree with you:
Is a travesty that Kane has not get another World Championship Run, is been 11 years since his last World Title Run which as you said it lasted 23 hours and that's it. Kane as loyal has he been he's not gonna get another World Title Run and that's a shame, but i hope i'm wrong on this one though.

im probbaly the biggest Kane mark on this site... i love the guy.... he always pushes new talent.... never has a problem jobbing to someone... i have never once read an article or "news" report that hes unhappy with the way hes being portrayed and sumtimes made to look real weak.... Kane has bent over backwards for WWE... taken some massive losses and made to look really stupid at times.... he continues to get a never ending top midcard-push because he will follow the scripts to the letter never making a fuss about them...

out of everyone on the entire WWE roster he deserve a good title run more than anyone...

his ECW title run was pathetic he looked so weak and crap... just like AJ Styles... it was so sad to watch....

even Ray Mysterio has had a longer title run than Kane....

Man, I havent seen Kane in a Looooooong time! 

 All I see is a muscle-lossed tall guy who is jobbing to mid-carders! 

Remember? he used to be a monster! he tore off the cell door and tombstoned The Undertaker on his debut!! that was the real kane! he beat the crap out of bear barrel!          I hope he will get elevated to main event status for the start and eventually get the strap.     It would also be cool to have him beaten to the pulp for a few weeks, back-to-back losses then  he leaves the find something thats missing and returns as the last entry in Royal Rumble!! with his mask on! The big red machine!
