Tonight's attack on Cena did make Miz look good,mainly because of how brutal the attack was,BUT he's still not a legit champion and he's still not a very good talker on the mic,regardless of how many people claim otherwise.It doesn't make sense for people to buy into Miz's scripted drivel but not Cena's scripted drivel.Miz's promos are the equivalent of Cena's 5 moves of doom.
From what I see,he gets his ass kicked for most of the match,then Alex Riley or Michael Cole interfere and he sneaks in a Skull Crushing Finale.It does not make him legit by any means.
Maybe it's the WWE's fault for not giving him a clean win,but Jesus,he got his ass kicked by The Great Khali before Riley interfered.All the kids think of Khali as that joke character who hosts the Kiss Cam,and everyone in the IWC has established the fact that Khali sucks as a wrestler,so it doesn't make Miz legitimate at all.It didn't make him a legit WWE champion when he's been fighting mid-carders every week prior to the Elimination Chamber.It didn't make him legit when he needed Cole to interfere twice in his title matches against Jerry Lawler.Miz is on the same level as Cole in my opinion.2 loudmouths who get cheap shots in and the only reason they're heels is because everyone wants to see them get their ass kicked.You can put anyone in Miz's position and they'll get the same heat.For example,Michael Cole.
Granted,Miz has shown a mean streak in him since Cena won the Chamber match,but it doesn't legitimize him as a main eventer in my eyes.Not when he's unwilling to confront Cena face-to-face.Not when Cena and The Rock look like they can beat The Miz into butternut squash soup in a one-on-one situation.I mean,what's he going to do at Wrestlemania?Pretend not to show up,then run in from the crowd and sneak attack Cena,hit him with a chair or the title belt before the bell rings,hit the Skull Crushing Finale after the bell rings and then pin him?How's that for a Wrestlemania main event?Rough up Cena if you must,but make it seem like he's weakening Cena before Wrestlemania.Sneaking up on Cena for 3 weeks in a row really doesn't prove anything except that Miz is a rat.
Miz would be a great champion if the WWE were transitioning mid-carders like Morrison and Ziggler to main eventers.Don't put the title belt on him and make him face Orton and Cena,because he is nowhere near their level yet.It just makes the title look cheap.You mean to tell me that The Miz is the best wrestler in a locker room filled with Orton and Cena and Punk,hell,even Sheamus,Ziggler and Morrison?You mean to tell me he's better than Triple H?Because that's what being WWE Champion means,it means you're the best in the business.With Miz,the title belt is just an accessory to make him relevant.His gimmick is that of someone who has something that nobody thinks he deserves.Get the title away from him and he becomes irrelevant.The bad thing about him is that he can't win a match cleanly because nobody thinks he's better than anyone.It's not because he's smaller than the other wrestlers.I can totally buy CM Punk and John Morrison as WWE Champions,because they have the skill to actually beat a guy.Miz doesn't have the skill and his "intensity" stems from being pissed off that he's not in the spotlight.Lame.I think anyone can look good when they're slamming a steel chair into another guy's back,but for someone to be taken seriously he needs to look like he can go toe to toe with anyone and come out victorious.Until Miz does that,he won't be legit in a lot of people's eyes.
Funnily enough,I just summed up The Miz's whole gimmick.He can't win matches cleanly and he doesn't look like a champion,so nobody gives him any respect.He's pissed off that nobody respects him even though he's a champion,so he whines about it every week and then sneak attacks his opponents,then goes on next week to brag about the sneak attack and how it makes him better than his opponent,which makes everyone respect him less.Then the cycle continues.
