Jose, you do realize that part of the conversation is about what Nash said, not me, right?
Norcal, its Kevin Nash, I'd guess he doesn't care about the push aspect, he cares about Miz's size/look.
You can get on my nerves habs but I have to say I like discussing stuff with you because you are willing to actually evolve a conversation instead of resorting to dumb crap like nick did there. There are certainly some good things here as well as negatives. I can't necessarily fault the nothing ventured nothing gained ideology here (although I wonder if you sang that same tune after TNA tried mondays). WWE absolutely needed something fresh.
All I am saying is that it is fair for people to look at the total Miz package and be skeptical of what happens going forward. They just saw someone who wasn't quite there yet cash in a MITB and be booked as a weak heel until it became a wasted lost cause. That did some damage to the championship credibility. If it happens again it would only amplify the failures. Maybe Miz can step up his mic game and succeed where Swagger failed. About the only interesting things I see going forward would be Bryan and Morrison matches. Problem is that looks a lot more like a midcard title than the big belt to me. The 3D situation is just a midcard thing and it is not even over a title. You dislike it based on judgments you have made about them as performers. I am hardly the only one questioning various things about Miz.
I can get on
your nerves? That's a pot/kettle statement if I ever heard one, but that's fine, you're not the first person I have annoyed and I doubt you'll be the last.
The "nothing ventured nothing gained ideology" is very pertinent to the Miz, but really doesn't apply to the Monday Night War experiment. The push of the Miz has the potential to succeed, and in fact I am confident that it will succeed, it's only a question of to what extent. Even with Jack Swagger, the potential for success was there, it just didn't pan out (yet). But TNA on Mondays, head to head against RAW, had no potential whatsoever. This was doomed to failure, too bad the egos of the guys involved didn't allow them to realize it.
Sure, RAW needed something fresh, every company does from time to time. I cannot understand the people who come on here complaining about the stagnant main event scene with the same collection of guys over and over again, yet as soon as someone new is injected into the scene, the same people say thy're "not ready." Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
I don't agree that the Miz came across like a weak heel, no more than Edge, or Punk, or any other opportunistic MITB winner has looked in the past. If anything, he looked a little stronger; at least he had to participate in a match, whereas some guys in the past have only had to come out and pin an already incapacitated guy. I don't agree that the Miz isn't there yet; he's definitely there, and he isn't going away anytime soon.
Let's give the guy a chance and not doom him to failure or limit him to transitional champion stature until he has had the title for more than 24 hours. This guy has definitely earned his shot, let's see if he can run with it. It could be worse. They could give the main title to a guy who rants incoherently in a coffee shop while his brother sits next to him stuffing his face with french fries. Talk about making the major title look like a midcard.
