During a recent appearance on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast, Darren Young talked about working with The Miz and losing planned Intercontinental Title match due to backstage politics.
On working with The Miz:
“When I first met the Miz years ago I couldn’t stand him. He was the loudest person in the room but fast forward to working with him helped me so much in that storyline. The promo segments, the wrestling matches and he was such a great guy. He was actually for me beating him for the Intercontinental Title at Battleground and of course, like all heels, he could take it back the next day or a couple weeks from now. It is all like giving a dog a bone and Miz was all about saying to give the Title to Darren and then I’ll take it back from him.”
On losing Intercontinental Title match to The Miz due to backstage politics:
“We are storytellers and I don’t take it seriously, but it is unfortunate the people that are under Vince McMahon I guess didn’t have my back and so I guess you’ve got some favorites and not so favorites. I guess I wasn’t a favorite to someone under Vince and eventually it got kiboshed.”
