Miz talks 10 years with WWE:

"Ten years later, I'm still here in a WWE ring. You need to be a shark in this business, or you're going to be eaten up, swallowed, and spit out. I've been one of those people who've been eaten up, but I stuck with it, survived, and I'm still here today. I remember the first time I stepped into a WWE ring, and I got critiqued and I was told I'd be gone in three months. Here I sit ten years later, and I'm the Intercontinental champion."
