The Miz isn’t just creating wrestling history—he’s meticulously preserving it. The WWE veteran revealed he’s kept virtually every piece of gear from his 20-year career, organizing an impressive personal archive that documents his journey through sports entertainment.
“All of them. I have everything. I literally just found it all and was putting it in storage,” The Miz told “Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez.” “I’m kind of documenting it now, putting it all through. Like I have a Miz versus Cena kind of bin that has the WrestleMania gear. It has the gear I won the tag team titles with him with. It has my first match ever with him where I went up against him at The Bash. I have the fedora that I wore out. Like I have all that stuff.”
The Battle With Trading Card Companies
The Miz’s collection has attracted interest from Topps and Fanatics, who constantly request pieces for trading cards. “Topps wants all that stuff. Fanatics, they want all that stuff. Like Topps is always like, ‘We want to put it in the card,\'” The Miz explained. “And I’m like, ‘Look, I get that that’s a cool thing for the fans, but this is kind of a cool thing for me.\'”
He does strategically donate special items, like a headband from his second WWE Championship reign. “I gave them that headband that they’re going to cut up and put into a card. So I think that’s pretty special,” he said.
The Calgary Kid Gear That Got Away
One regret in The Miz’s otherwise complete collection is his Calgary Kid persona gear. “You know what I don’t have that I was a little upset about? Calgary Kid. I don’t have that mask or the gear and I was like ‘darn, I wonder what happened to that.’ Like I’ve never seen it again,” he admitted. WWE requested it back, and it disappeared from his collection.
John Morrison: The Favorite Partnership
When asked about his favorite tag team partner, The Miz immediately named John Morrison. “John Morrison was kind of my first intro to WWE tag team. It’s my first tag team title. We literally made The Dirt Sheet, which now WWE’s YouTube channel is number one,” The Miz said. “We started the YouTube channel for WWE. We had a show on there when it wasn’t popular, when it wasn’t the thing to do.”
