Whether it was Andy Kaufman or insulting Bret Hart’s mom, people were listening. Miz says that he has patterned his career after Jerry.

Miz agrees and says that Jerry is an original cheap shot artist and he has footage to support it. We see what Jerry did to Ted DiBiase last week on Raw.
Miz says that is equivalent to a sucker punch.
Lawler says that was like a sucker punch because he thinks that Miz is a sucker. Lawler says that everyone thinks that Miz sucks too. Lawler tells Miz that he is right. Not everything that comes out of his mouth is like poop, manure, or compost. He has never been the WWE Champion and he has never competed at Wrestlemania. He tells Miz and everyone else that they have no idea what it would be like for him to be WWE Champion and compete at Wrestlemania. Jerry says that he has been in Sports Entertainment for 40 years and he is not going to let it pass him by. He says that after he wins the title at the Elimination Chamber pay per view, he is going to say that he is going to Wrestlemania.
Miz says that is where Jerry is wrong. After the match in two weeks, the only thing that the WWE Universe will hear is ‘I’m the Miz . . . and I’m ‘ . . .
