• The Miz Reveals Which New WWE Star Can Be “Something Really Special”
NXT’s Je’Von Evans has joined the WWE main roster and many people think he has a bright future in the company.
During an interview on the Insight podcast, The Miz said the following about Je’Von:
“He’s special. He truly is. If you’ve watched him and you feel his energy, the kid has an infectious smile. He’s got charisma, he’s got the ability, and he’s young. I was like, man, this kid’s 21. Imagine what he’s going to be like when he’s 25. He might be bored because he’s so good at this age.
If this kid can keep elevating himself, keep getting bigger, keep focusing, locking in, don’t mess up, don’t get injured, this kid can be something really special in this business.”
Je’Von Evans defeated The Miz on a recent episode of SmackDown.
• CM Punk Reveals His Estimated WWE Retirement Age
CM Punk is 47 years old and is still at the top of his game as he’s the current World Heavyweight Champion.
He retained his title by defeating Bron Breakker on the January 5th edition of RAW. His next title defense will be against Finn Balor on next week’s RAW in Ireland.
During an interview with Cinema Blend, Punk said he might retire at the age of 50:
“When I was 15, if you asked me if I’d be wrestling when I was 40, I would tell you, ‘No, that’s crazy. 40 is so old.’ I’m 47, and I don’t feel old yet.
Terry Funk wrestled for a long time, Ric Flair wrestled for a long time. I mean, there’s luchadors that are like in their 70s that are still doing it. Do I want to be doing that? Probably not.
I would estimate probably the big 50 is when I should maybe gracefully bow out. Knock on wood, if nothing else horrible happens.”
• “John Cena gets the flowers. I don’t get the flowers” – WWE Veteran On Fans’ Respect
The Miz made his WWE main roster debut in 2006. He has accomplished everything in his 20-year run in the company.
On Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast, Miz was asked if he feels people respect him now.
Here’s what the former WrestleMania main eventer said:
“Yes, I feel the respect. I feel it in the locker room. I feel it in the crowd, but I’ll hear you say it. ‘Oh, Miz has gotten his flowers.’ You know what kind of flowers I get? I get the ones that are half dead, that you give to me and they’re gonna die the next day.
You don’t give me a full bouquet of flowers that are like, here are your flowers. John Cena gets the flowers. I don’t get the flowers. I get the half-dead flowers that are like, here you go, here’s your flowers. We’re giving you your flowers. It’s the half-a$$ed flowers.”
