For all of you fans who lived in the NYC area before 2003…

[fg]

…when you think of the Miz, do you sometimes think of the retail store chain called: The Wiz? (Especially during its days when the store was called: Nobody Beats The Wiz?)

Yeah, I know I may be splitting hairs here but when Vince was in charge, with out-of-touch he is, I can totally see him force the Miz to say: “Nobody beats the Miz.” He would think everyone (or at least NYC area fans) would get the reference not realizing that the reference is 20 years old.

[fw91]

Love the reference, but no.

[BlackoutCreature]

I won't say it never crossed my mind.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

Not really no.

[MiLB Fan]

I saw the thread title and thought this would be about WWF New York/The World.

Now that I have been to.

No, but whenever I hear someone refer to the Performance Center as the PC I immediately think of a whistling robot

That’s how I know The Wiz.

I CAME TO PLAY...all these awesome video games that I got from The Wiz on 86th Street in Brooklyn.

Seinfeld, one of the characters dates the commerical spokesman who plays "The Wiz" in the commerical

[Slingshot Suplay]

I liked the Wiz.... I don't really care for the Miz.

Thanks. I knew that that store was referenced in that sitcom. I just didn’t see Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine.

[Duke Cameron]

No.

[Hulk With A Mustache]

Fun fact: The guy who plays The Wiz on Seinfeld was also the voice of Cotton and Kahn on King Of The Hill.

[darbus alan]

If he ever went on a winning streak and declared "Nobody Beats The Miz!" maybe. Otherwise, nah.

[Squirrel Master]

Haha The Wiz! I wore out 10 giant box radios I bought there. But no, I don’t think of The Miz.

[jason1980s]

I thought for sure Miz stole the "Wiz" gimmick just with a different letter. I sincerely do believe if Seinfeld hadn't done it first, there would be no "Miz" in WWE. Miz is a super smart guy and smart enough to copy off of Seinfeld.
