The Miz Reminisces On His MTV Real World Casting

WWE Superstar The Miz has posted the following photo to his Instagram account from Palm Springs, CA alongside his wife Maryse. In the comments section he shares the story of being cast on The Real World 10 and how it helped launch his career:

In December 2000 I flew to Palm Springs, CA to film The Real World/ Road Rules Casting Special w/ 25 other hopefuls. After a week I was chosen to be on The Real World 10: Back to New York. My entertainment career started in Palm Springs. Tonight w/ my beautiful wife @therealmaryseouellet by my side I performed in front of a sold out @wwe crowd on #Day182 of The Miz Never Ending Intercontinental Championship World Tour IN PALM SPRINGS. I truly believe that if I didn’t get casted on The Real World my life would be completely different. Real World gave me the confidence to believe I can do anything with my life. So thank you to Jon Murray, Mary-Ellis Bunim, and the entire casting crew for giving a 20 year old kid a shot.
