Some good conversation on here guys. Now I didn't expect the Miz haters to all of a sudden love him by any means but I'm hearing some really, REALLY, (Really!? haha) stupid reasons for not liking him that I'd like to address.
He doesn't have the "look" of a champion.
Look not everyone out there can look like Batista. Miz is roughly the same size as Bret Hart and HBK, if not bigger, and nobody complained that they were too small. This is just a cliche IWC stupid excuse to dis a guy. His HAIR for christ's sake is brought up several times. What are we, a bunch of women in a coffee shop talking about every other woman we see? Come on. And no you or your wife cannot beat up the Miz...by normal standards this guy is a beast so stop kidding yourself.
He can't win on his own.
He's a HEEL. He's supposed to have help. This kind of stuff happens with heel champs all the time. HHH always had help when he was a heel champ. Whether it was from DX, Stephanie, Evolution etc. Same goes for The Rock when he was with the Corporation. And almost any other heel champ over the last 20 years. This one needs to get a rest.
His mic skills are terrible.
Why because he's a cocky asshole and kind of irritating? THATS EXACTLY WHAT HE"S TRYING TO DO. He doesn't want you to like him or what he's saying. He comes off as an arrogant hypocrite and that's the point! He is top 5 in the WWE in terms of mic skill right now whether you like it or not. He's no Rocky, but no one is. But he's certaintly no Jeff Hardy either.
He can't wrestle.
Now this one is just funny. He's put on some good matches lately and he gets better everytime. Even his matches with Lawler, where he had to carry a 60 yr old man, watchable and pretty enjoyable. Just go back and watch his recent matches with Morrison and Daniel Bryan (two matches he won cleanly btw). He's much improved in the ring and he's better and more creative than Cena and Orton combined.
Theres more but this is pretty much the gist of the arguments against the Miz in this thread (not going to even address the Real World stuff because you're just stupid if you think that has any relevance). Now all I've heard are the same tired, IWC complaints from all the Miz haters without any real reasoning behind them. Its pretty funny actually.
From reading you comment I can tell you pretty much miss the point that alot of ppl where making about the Miz. So here let me try & explain it to so you can maybe better understand that ppl are not hating on him just to be hating on him.
He doesn't have the "look" of a champion.
When ppl say this there talking about the way he carries himself, it's the way he walks & talks sometime. He is getting better, but its so obvious that he is out of place. His like a fish on land cause WWE put the belt on him to fast. It doesn't have anything to do w/his size HBK proved years ago that you don't have to be The Rock's size to win the belt. Ric Flair is small, but he had the look, he carry himself w/a certain kind of Confidence that made you feel like he was worthy of being a champion.
He can't win on his own.
Yes every1 is not stupid we all know that heel 101 states that heels are cowards & they cheat, but heels don't cheat all the time, & they don't sneak around & attack from behind w/every opponent. The Miz hasn't proved that he can really beat Cena cause he has just been attacking him from behind, shit any of us can do that. Now if WWE had it where Miz went heads up w/Cena once at least & got the best of Cena then that would make Miz look better. Oh, but you say Miz has beat King & John M. w/out any help!!! Sure we suppose to believe that Miz can beat Cena at Mania cause he had a successful title defense against a legend that's twice his is age & retired from the ring most of the time & a midcarder in John. Now if they would have had him beat Orton clean at least once then that would have made him look good, but no he has to cheat to beat the real Main Eventers which makes him seem less like one.
His mic skills are terrible.
Now the only problem I have w/his mic skills is that sometimes he overacts so he doesn't seem believeable, he doesn't sound competely confident in what he is saying so he overacts to get his point across, which is hurting him more then helping. He is improving, so at least you can tell he is tryn to get better.
He can't wrestle.
Now what ppl mean is he can't wrestle at the main event level. When you are a main eventer damn near every match you put on should be great no matter how many moves you use. Rock, Austin, Taker, & others put on high level matches most of the time when there at the top level. Cena has shown us many of times that he can perform at a Main Event level, his problem now is just that he is Hogan 2.0 so all his matches pretty much start & end the same smh. Miz has only showed he has enough skill to put on a great midcard match, which is fine, but the problem is that a midcarder shouldn't be in the M.E. at Mania. It just bad business
To end this I'm no Miz hater I believe the guy can be a real Main Eventer one day, but right now he doesn't show that. BTW I don't give a damn about what tv show he was on before being in the WWE that doesn't have anything to do w/him being the champ & main eventing Mania before he should.
