The title says it all. Four years ago today The Miz (also known as Mike Mizanin) made his WWE in-ring debut. Vintage Miz! The customized pants which seemed to get longer over the years, the blonde mohawk and the white long socks was his style back then! Boy has he changed now. This was the era when it wasn’t ‘IM AWESOME!‘, it was ‘HOO-RAH!‘. Here is WWE.com’s write up of the match.

Last week during an interview with 2006 Diva Search Winner Layla, The Miz told the world that he would be making his in-ring debut this week on SmackDown. The former reality TV star took on Tatanka in his debut, and surprised everyone when he picked up an impressive victory. The enthusiastic newcomer took advantage of a distracted Tatanka, who for the third week in a row spent more time arguing with the referee than focusing on his opponent. Mizanin’s victory however, was not without controversy, as he mocked the Native American’s culture throughout the match, and then used the ropes for leverage on the pin. After the match, the Miz celebrated his first victory like he had just won the World Championship. Nonetheless, despite what some people predicted for the Miz, he wasn’t exactly a flop in his big debut.

And who would of thought 4 years later Miz would of achieved this?

• World Tag Team Championship (2 times) – with John Morrison (1) and The Big Show (1)

• WWE Tag Team Championship (2 times) – with John Morrison (1) and The Big Show (1)

• WWE United States Championship (2 times, current)

• Mr. Money in the Bank (July 2010)

• Slammy Award for Best WWE.com Exclusive (2008) – with John Morrison

• Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year (2008) – with John Morrison

Digitals and screencaptures have been put up in the gallery awhile back so if you haven’t already, check them out! Well done Mike! Here’s to many more years to come.

WWE United States champion The Miz (With Alex Riley) pinned Evan Bourne. Riley did some good mic work before the match putting himself and Miz over and ripping on Kaval since Tuesday is the NXT finale. Miz then ripped on Newark and tore down the fans when they tried to do his catch phrase. Miz worked over Bourne early but Bourne nailed him with knee strikes during a suplex attempt. Bourne went for a shooting star but Riley tried to interfere. Bourne fought him off and nailed a dive to the floor. Miz and Bourne went into a series of near falls. Bourne went for the shooting star press but Miz got his knees up and scored the pin. Real entertaining on the mic and in the ring.

The Miz over Evan Bourne to retain the United States Championship. The match of the night maybe. A lot of heat for Miz. Nice pop for Bourne. They tried the huracanrana from the second rope, but Bourne couldn’t get high enough. Bad looking. Evan Bourne went for the Airbourne finisher, but Miz put his knees up and got the win. The ending was nasty looking.
