The fans were not too happy about the announcement and wrote some harsh comments. They mentioned that legendary superstars with the likes of The Rock, Evolution and The Undertaker should have been inducted instead.

What complete bs. Miz going into the hall before the Hardy’s, brothers of destruction, undertaker , triple h, evolution, cena, the rock and more. Love miz but he can’t wait till the others get in

I REALLY hope this is NOT TRUE. I NEVER want to see @mikethemiz in the WWE Hall of Fame. I can’t stand The Miz. I have been watching him since he debuted on WWE TV in 2006 and I have HATED him since then.

Undertaker? Triple H? Rock? Victoria? King Kong bundy? Not in the HOF but @mikethemiz is?! What a joke honestly.

The hall of fame is already a joke, unfortunately, no structure at all its disappointing for the legends of the past. The only way to save the hall of fame is an immortal section, with the first being Undertaker

However, some of them defended the induction citing his hard work as the reason.

Anybody that is hating on this man either did not take 10 minutes to research how hard this guy work and how generous he is or they just really do like to see people fail.

we all know the stories about him being hazed heavily.The guy worked great,sold and put over many. Deserved
