The Miz is known to be a genuinely good person, at least in the eyes of Ethan Page, also known as “All Ego.” In a recent interview with Jackson Bragman of the Bragman Breakdown, Page shared a story about an interaction he had with the WWE star several years ago that left a lasting impression on him.
Page recounted a time when he was doing extra work in the wrestling industry at a young age, around 22 or 23 years old. This was before his time in IMPACT Wrestling and EVOLVE, when he was still involved in independent wrestling. While waiting to sign in for his extra work, Page saw The Miz walking down the hallway. Despite being new to the backstage experience, Page was struck by the larger-than-life atmosphere and the presence of the wrestlers he had only seen on TV.
What stood out to Page was how The Miz took the time to greet every extra and staff member he encountered. It didn’t matter who they were – whether they were wrestlers or simply people filing papers, The Miz made sure to stop and say hello to everyone. Page vividly remembers The Miz even pausing to check on his charity appearances, and when asked to do more for charity, he readily agreed without hesitation.
The way The Miz conducted himself backstage left a lasting impact on Page. He saw firsthand how a true professional behaves and how important it is to not only excel in the ring but also be a positive presence behind the scenes. The Miz’s willingness to engage with everyone, regardless of their role, showcased his genuine kindness and dedication to his craft.
For Page, The Miz became a role model – someone he aspired to be like, not just as a performer in the ring but as a person outside of it. The experience of seeing The Miz’s kindness and professionalism left a lasting impression on Page and shaped his own approach to his career in wrestling.
