Ric Flair has been very, very hands on with me since day one. Ric Flair has always been person that I've looked up to, that I've respected in this business. He's done it all. He always takes me aside and says, 'listen, here's an easier way to get into the figure 4, here's a way to make it work better for you,' and the greatest thing about Ric Flair is he still wants me to be me. He doesn't want me to say, 'the Ric Flair Woo, I'm going to Woo. Ric Flair does struts, I'm going to strut.' He's like, 'be your own superstar. This is what worked for me. What is going to work for you as a WWE superstar?' That's something that I've taken and really put out there. I'm going to be The Miz and I'm going to do things the way Miz would do.
