Miz says the reason why that lunatic targeted him was because of his mind. Not some Hannibal Lecture but his knowledge and resume is unparalleled. When he chose to give a selfless act and share his expertise with an up and coming superstar, he who shall not be named, could not stand that he chose Tommaso Ciampa, he sat at home jobless and thought that Tommaso stole the opportunity he thought he deserves.
