WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz recently spoke with local news outlet WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to promote WWE television and live events in the area this week.

During the interview, The Miz was informed that two-time WWE Hall Of Famer “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair gave him high praise recently, calling him the best heel in the pro wrestling business today.

“Ha! Is that what he said? Coming from him that’s an honor,” said The Miz during the interview. “Ric Flair – in my opinion – is the greatest of all-time. I mean he is absolutely incredible, I mean, he gave me his figure-four, how can I say a bad thing about him? You know what I mean?”

The reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion continued, “He’s just an incredible human being and incredible in-ring performer. And still, his legend lives on, no matter if he’s in the ring or outside the ring people still do ‘The Strut,’ give the ‘Woo!’ It’s amazing.”
