Michael Gregory Mizanin, better known by his WWE alias “The Miz,” is reveling in the glory of his latest WWE Championship win this past weekend.

The Miz feels this latest victory earns him a spot on WWE's Mount Rushmore alongside Hollywood Hulk Hogan and John Cena:

“I am the first-ever 2-time Grand Slam champion,” Miz said, via TMZ. “That means I've held [the WWE Championship] title twice. The Intercontinental more than twice. The United States champion twice and Tag Team Championships twice.”
“I am the only one in the history of this business to be a 2-time Grand Slam champion. So in my opinion, I'm on the Mount Rushmore of WWE.”
