Anybody see any simularities (besides their oddly similar finishing moves) between Jeff Jarret and The Miz? I sure do.
Back in WCW, if you guys can remember that long ago, Jarret was simply an awful in ring competitor. Watching him wrestle and all the awful booking that surrounded him made WCW just plain bad for me. But, how do all the great ones start? The Mic.
Let's face it: Hogan, Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Jeff Jarret, etc, have the basic movesets. Each had a crappy finisher that wouldn't hurt a four year old. But, what sells a character is their mic skills. Nobody cares if you can wrestle better than anybody else, they simply want to be entertained. The Miz is a comical heel.
But in the ring? Boring.
There's just a lack of good wrestling matches and wrestlers out there today. Miz isn't a good wrestler yet, but give him some time to shine with the vets and he'll mature. Remember, The Rock wasn't a star at first either and he began as a heel. Cena began as a heel. Trend? I think so.
Overall, I hate the Miz and I'm not a big fan of the decision to push him this fast. Just think, he got a major title before John Morrison, Ted DiBiase, and even now-released Matt Hardy.
He's the Miz and....we'll have to wait and see.
