OMGZ DA MIZ IS BURID!

[simeon63]

First I want you to know The Miz isn't dead but his wwe career might be. I really don't understand why the wwe is burying the guy alive, I mean come on what is the point? I am left scratching my head, why would the wwe do the whole Calgary Kid angle ? Why change his wardrobe and so called attitude ?
I mean I get it you broke up Miz and Morrison because you wanted to push Morrison, and for a good reason too he has charisma, talent and looks. The Miz brings things to the table that Kofi Kingston lacks, like great mike skills all Kofi has is a fake Jamaican accent,a Charisma character who brings credibility into the ring, Kofi is a high flier and honestly has one of the shallowest characters in the wwe, can anyone really say Kofi is charismatic ? I am not a huge Miz fan but I know a bad deal when I see one, and The Miz has been burnt by bad angles and I think it sucks.

*side note* right off top, there's no such thing as a "Jamaican" accent... it's West Indian! Kofi was born in Ghana, which eventhough it's in Africa, faking a West Indian accent isn't that far off. Miz isn't that good, he never was. The only reason that he's in the WWE in the first place, is because he made so much noise when he was on the Real World, that Vince put him on because he gave him free publicity. He stank when he first debuted and he still stinks. Sure he has mic skills, anyone that talks as much sh*t as he does, he's bound to get good. Cena talks the same amount, if not more. Sorry, Miz isn't that "Awesome", he, like many of the others in the WWE, need to be re-packaged and re-worked if they want to survive. Miz and Morrison was broken up because Morrison was carrying the team. What did Miz do? Started stalking Cena so that he could make a name for himself? Really? You call that a gimmick? He needed an overhaul... it's long overdue...

so wrong, the miz has got the mic skills, admitedly the "im the miz and im awesome!" is rubbish, but in ring, he's improved massively, his match last night was actually very good, and i found my self sigh when he lost to the ******ed kofi kingston. when kofi first came into the wwe his moves were electric, but now, not so much, in fact, not at all, his whole bounce into the ring rope thing is shit, he botches it every time, i think he's only hit it a few times, the rest of his moves aren't as high flying as the likes of john morrison and evan bourne, and his mic skills are crap. i want to see the miz with the U.S. title belt, and kofi doing something else back on ECW.

 

[And I'm Awesome]

OK, first thing's first. Losing your first one-on-one match for a championship does not mean you're buried. Last time I checked, Dolph Ziggler is 0-for-2 in trying to win the IC Title, and I don't hear anyone claiming he got buried. Guys need to lose matches in order to advance stories and characters. Is DX buried because they lost to Legacy last night? No, don't think so.

Now, it is entirely possible (and, knowing WWE Creative, quite likely) that this feud won't get any serious airtime before HIAC. However, this is a golden opportunity to freshen up the entire US Title Division by making it more than just an afterthought on Raw. Despite the fact that Miz is not the greatest in ring worker (though I don't think he's as bad as a lot of you make him out to be), he has excellent work on the stick. Even just hearing about the US Title from someone other than Lilian announcing Kofi as the Champ would be nice. This is also an opportunity to build a real character for Kofi. Who knows how well he can work the mic? He's never really had the opportunity!

So, let's sum this up. The Miz is not buried, but perhaps not quite yet awesome. Some work on his in-ring talents would be appreciated, but he isn't the bottom-feeder that many in the IWC make him out to be. Kofi is just simply an insane in-ring worker; one who needs some time on the stick to develop a character that we can care about more than just caring that the dude is the US Champion.

 

[Kesteral]

Buried? What the hell are you talking about? Seriously guys on these forums throw out words like buried and squashed as if they mean win or lose. The Miz looked absolutely great last night, the two had a decent match and the Miz is the only heel right now who's over enough to get a shot at the US title. This fued is probably going to go on for a while and I'm looking forward to it. The Miz can wrestle as we clearly saw last night and he's improving every week, he's got a bright future ahead.

 

[shafe_41]

Wow. I'm amazed by the utter stupidity of this thread. If the OP actually even watched the PPV, it was the Miz's best 1-on-1 match of all time. Hands down. The match had zero build and was just kind of used for filler for the PPV. It was damn good filler because the match was one of the best... nay... THE best match of the night. The PPV as a whole was actually pretty good and I was surprised by that. But that's neither here nor there. Just because you lose one match doesn't mean you're buried. How long have you been watching the WWE? Like 16 days? ******. Being buried is usually followed by the wonderful "future endevoured" post on WWE.com. Kendrick...buried...FE'd. Ortiz...buried...FE'd. Miz... best match of his career. Look for the Miz to keep going after the US Title because if the ring work he displayed last night is a sign of things to come for the Miz, and a sign of what the Miz is going to improve upon... Miz is destined for great things. He was nothing short of amazing last night.

 

[WrestleWave2009]

Miz did have a good match last night. Would be nice if he had won the United States Title, but I could see him winning it in the future. This feud with Kofi should help The Miz a lot.

I agree that in the loss Miz looked good and made the match great for not having much build up. That was a better match than I had been expecting. That was one of the better US Title Match in quite awhile and that is saying something.

Anyway overall Miz is not buried he is just starting to earn his spot.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

While I didn't see the match at Breaking Point last night, I have to disagree on the Miz being buried. Ever since coming to Raw, he's been getting a huge push. His feud with Cena was entertaining, and now he's had a makeover, and is in the US title picture. The Miz will be US champ, you just have to give it some time.

 

[ZigglerSwaggerFan]

How is The Miz getting buried? He HAS been repackaged, and it's better for him. He was going nowhere before the Calgary Kid. The Miz is getting a decent push, but he doesn't deserve the title right now. See if him and Evan Bourne or Jack Swagger can do something together. I know Swagger is light years beyond Miz in ability, but they have to do something with them.

Ziggler wasn't getting pushed until he started with Rey Mysterio, and now they've had some great matches, so you never know. I want to see Swagger pushed well ahead of Miz, but they really haven't done anything with Swagger before a couple of weeks ago when he announced he was going for the US Title. I hope he gets a push with this angle, and I'm sure he will. He just needs some time to grow in the mid-card.

 

["Cool Guy" Jensen]

I want to start off by saying THE MIZ IS NOT GETTING BUIRIED! It is very silly of you to think he is. Coming off the losing end of a John Cena fued, and still getting decent air time afterwards is not getting buried. WWE allowing you to change your attire and "attitude" with acknowledgement is not getting buried. Losing your first one-on-one United States Championship match with Kofi Kingston (a man who defeats almost everyone) is not getting buried. To be honest... The Miz is getting a lot more attention and air time that he really should get.

If The Miz got little to no offense during his U.S. Championship match at Breaking Point, then maybe he'd be buried a little. Was that the case? I'm fairly sure it wasn't. You can't expect a wrestler to win every single match they're involved in. Sometimes a loss will take you farther than a win. You learn more when you lose than when you win. Especially a title match. The more you lose, the bigger your desire becomes to win the title you're aiming for.

The Miz has improved quite "Tough Enough 2004" and his debut in 2006. That goes with both mic skills and ring skills. He is nowhere near getting buried. He is right where he belongs, if not a bit higher. He will strive to do better and we will see that as time goes by. I see absolutely no reason to worry about how The Miz's career will end up after one match resulting in a loss.

 

[Baller]

The Miz was not buried, he put a good showing at Breaking Point but you couldnt expect him to win basically without a real buildup to the match. This feud will continue on and I expect the Miz to win the title by Survivor Series

 

[Dropkicked]

Wow - is this Obwan guy for real? The Miz is fantastic. The guy has serious heat - he is such a good heel. As much as I like Diggler, Miz should be in his place with the amount of heat he draws. His skills i nthe ring improve every match and his skills on the stick aren't far behind. If he has any major flaw, its the name of his finisher which I can't confirm he even named.

ADefinitely not buried, although I do agree in point that they seems to "burry" his momentem at times. I am sure he is still in it - as I am sure it will come out tonight. Kofi's days are numbers. The guy is just plain stale. Let him sell his merch and do his stupid boom boom boom. The guy can move, no doubt, but he is a one trick pony.

We are slowly seeing the new generation moving in. Miz, Morrison, Diggler, Swagger, Legacy, Hart Dynasty. Give it time - they need to let it simmer. No sense in jamming these guys down our throats and winning championships left and right (i.e. John Cena).

 

[Spitfire]

I can't believe what I'm reading. The Miz is Garbage. The match was only good because of Kingston. Miz isn't great in the ring. He's not even good. He's...decent, like his mic skills.
And not buried!!! He was buried a while ago by Cena. Ziggler and Miz are in the same situation. Ziggler's missing something while Miz is just lame. "I'm Miz and I'm awesome!" didn't Edge say that the night after he cashed in on Cena?! Not only that but his ring attire is like Chris Jericho now. What's next, is he going to start raising his eyebrow?
Enough with this loser already.

Can't you guys see that this guy sucks?
Then again, it's no ones fault for liking someone from Raw who's garbage. Raw itself been garbage for quite a while now.

 

[the troop]

How can someone be buried when you lose a phenomonal match with no build-up to it at all? You didn't really expect him to win in his first one on one match for the title did you? This match did everything but bury the Miz. This is definately a step forward for him to becoming a main-event star. I think this feud has the potential to be great, if the wwe actually let kofi have a character. Im sure the miz will win the us title somewhere along the road. HE DEFINATELY WASNT BURIED.

 

[RatedRmichaelcole]

Definitely not buried. The Miz had a great match with Kofi which surprised me. He has greatly improved his in ring abilities and Kofi was as energetic and electric as you would expect.

A great match which I shall remember for a good long time.

 

[Tully]

The Miz will hopefully get a push soon. He's far more entertaining than the 2nd coming of Koko B. Ware, i.e. Kofi Kingston. Kingston's NADA on the mic and not much more entertaining in-ring. I really don't get Kingston's push at all.

Come to think of it, Kingston oughta ring up B. Ware and see if he can borrow Koko's parrot. The parrot would do a better job on the mic than Kofi.

 

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

First I want you to know The Miz isn't dead but his wwe career might be.

LOL, ok let's see.

I really don't understand why the wwe is burying the guy alive, I mean come on what is the point?

They are not burying the Miz. He looked gold last night in a very good match with Kofi. Both men put on a good show and the champion won, get over it. The Miz is building towards the championship, they are making the story better before giving him the title. It's much better than him winning it straight away, this way when he does win it it will be a great moment.

I am left scratching my head, why would the wwe do the whole Calgary Kid angle ? Why change his wardrobe and so called attitude ?

Last time I checked his attitude is pretty much the same as it always was. Look, WWE are pakaging him as a legit wrestler now hence the attire change. He's a good performer and WWE is recognising it, not burying it.

I mean I get it you broke up Miz and Morrison because you wanted to push Morrison, and for a good reason too he has charisma, talent and looks.

Pretty sure they split them up to push both as singals stars, one as face and one as heel. Morrison has been doing great on SD and Miz is doing great on Raw. The Miz feuded with Cena after first coming to Raw, if you are feuding with Cena then WWE obviously likes what you're doing. Cena made Miz look great, however it could have gone a bit longer but oh well.

The Miz brings things to the table that Kofi Kingston lacks, like great mike skills all Kofi has is a fake Jamaican accent,a Charisma character who brings credibility into the ring, Kofi is a high flier and honestly has one of the shallowest characters in the wwe, can anyone really say Kofi is charismatic ?

How do you know Kofi can't do anything on the mic? He hasn't had the chance. His backstage interviews have been ok and he's been alright on commentry a few times. He needs a bit of work maybe but he's doing fine. He's completely over still so he must have some kind of charisma.

I am not a huge Miz fan but I know a bad deal when I see one, and The Miz has been burnt by bad angles and I think it sucks.

The Miz is in the title picture for the US Championship. What else do you want???!!!

Fuck, I'm sick of reading about people getting shitty because their favourite wrestler isn't winning titles left right and centre. Get over it, not everyone is going to be World Champion just because you like them.

Miz is getting a mid card title push, he is anything but buried.

 

[LFC20]

are you serious?? did you even watch the miz vs kofi match from breaking point last nite??
it was one of, if not THE, best match of the night! It was very evenly matched with kofi as a good face with high-flying excitement, and the miz as a great up-and-coming heel with a more mat-based wrestling style. Kofi has the athletic ability to get the crowd excited, and the miz has mic skills that are getting better and better every week...he has been getting better in the ring every match since he's split with morrison.
you can't say someone is getting buried because he loses ONE match that was scheduled at the last minute and since his character has been revamped...
slowly but surely, the miz has become one of the top heels on raw and i think he will continue to get a push for the US title and eventually he will win it from kofi, because he can wrestle, AND he has the mic skills, something kofi lacks...
but just for the record, while I AM a huge Miz fan because he is awesome (pun intended)
...i still give props where they are due, and I think we should give kofi props for being able to be a crowd favorite based just on his athletic ability and not his mic skills...he has been successful so far by just being one-dimensional....That being said, I still think the Miz is gonna get that push and eventually win the US title from Kofi...and if you look at his path up to this point, he deserves it

 

[byrnside]

The thing about the Miz, is he's good. He isn't great, but he's good. He needs more time and experience to be great, hence his program with Kofi. Tonight on RAW we saw the recycling of one of my all-time favorite heel tactics. If you can't beat the champ for his belt.. Just take it.. Hopefully this ends up in a ladder match, or some kind of cool gimmick match, like in the old days. I'm really excited the WWE has actually started to rebuild the prestige of the mid card titles.

 

[RatedRKO93]

The miz is NOT buried i don't see how you can think that he would be buried after your first 1 on 1 title match with no build up that wasn't even supposed to be on the card in the first place. Plus the US title match last night was awsome 5/5 stars for sure but if you think the miz is going nowhere then your wrong because this is the beginning of the miz heading towards the US Title. Witch i am sure he will win eventually.

 

[XgringolocoX]

First off, I HATED the Miz when he first came into the WWE. I don't think I ever truely hated a character on a wrestling show. I Hated the Miz.
That said, give credit where credit is due. It's due right fckn here. The Miz has greatly improved in all areas. His in ring work is entertaining, and getting better each week. His mic work is fantastic.
The Miz is years away from Main Event level if he even gets there.
So IMO, no he's not being buried. He's being given the time to develop. I like seeing this. Don't throw him to the lions just yet. Has everyone forgotten when guys fought through the ranks, winning and losing, scratching and clawing before they even got a title shot? Relax, smoke if ya got em....enjoy. Give the boy some fckn latitude..

 

[Blade]

First I want you to know The Miz isn't dead but his wwe career might be. I really don't understand why the wwe is burying the guy alive, I mean come on what is the point?

Last time I checked, being the number one contender for a midcard title isn't being buried. Now, losing to a leprachaun, that's being buried. The Miz is not being "BURID".
In fact, if you had watched Raw last night, you'd see that the Kofi/Miz angle is continuing and it could very likely end with a Miz US Title reign. Go find a wrestling dictionary. Look up the workd "buried". Then know what you're talking about, mmmm'kay?

I am left scratching my head, why would the wwe do the whole Calgary Kid angle ? Why change his wardrobe and so called attitude ?

The Calgary Kid angle? You mean that "angle" that was 5 minutes long and was used to get Miz back on Raw and to get him heel heat, both of which it did. Successfully.
They changed his wardrobe and attitude so he could continue cutting his usual promos despite having been beaten by Cena a few times.

I mean I get it you broke up Miz and Morrison because you wanted to push Morrison, and for a good reason too he has charisma, talent and looks.

Miz has all that too. In fact, I'd say Miz has more charisma than Morrison. And he has quite alot of talent and a decent look.

The Miz brings things to the table that Kofi Kingston lacks, like great mike skills all Kofi has is a fake Jamaican accent,a Charisma character who brings credibility into the ring, Kofi is a high flier and honestly has one of the shallowest characters in the wwe, can anyone really say Kofi is charismatic ?

Kofi Kingston doesn't need to be, as you put it, a "charisma character".
He's a very exciting in ring character, and has gotten over on that alone. Just like Morrison. And I'd say Morrison is just as shallow as Kofi.
But to answer your question, yes. Yes, Kofi does have charisma. That's why he can make a whole crowd go "Boom Boom".

I am not a huge Miz fan but I know a bad deal when I see one, and The Miz has been burnt by bad angles and I think it sucks.

Miz has had some great angles. His angle with Cena got him over as a major midcard heel. Sure he lost alot, but he didn't deserve a win over Cena. And now he's got an interesting angle going on now after stealing Kofi's belt last night on Raw.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

The definition of getting buried are having squash matches or losing in the most stupid of manners. Every local jobber that has gone against all the big men of the industry can be considered being buried. Having Chavo Guerrero keep losing matches by Hornswoggle defeating him about 2 straight months is getting buried. Having the Miz dominate a length match for the championship where the title holder has basically defeated everyone whom has challenged him thus far is not getting buried at all. If you watched the match, The Miz's in-ring work was at its highest ever that has ever been seen & was his single most greatest match thus far considering his solo career. People seemed to respect how the match played out by the audience as they usually applaud competitor's at the end instead of cheering. I believe the crowd was applauding the two men for both their great performances.

This is the best thing going for the Miz. He has been replaced back on Raw with a new attitude/attire, he has been getting great exposure, the opponents he goes against make him look like a legit threat to get the win & gives him the chance to prove his in-ring talents. Having these does not constitute someone being buried at all, merely helping their career.

Sporting this logic the original poster has, he/she is saying that Orton got buried during his WWE title match with Cena as he just hit the STF out of nowhere despite the fact that the whole match was dominated by Orton showing how sadistic he can be in the ring.

 

[Razor]

1) Please tell me someone changed the title of the thread. Whomever did, I love you. If no one changed the title, then this is the most unintentionally hilarious naming of a thread ever.

First I want you to know The Miz isn't dead but his wwe career might be.

How so? He's in a program with Kofi over the fucking title.

I really don't understand why the wwe is burying the guy alive, I mean come on what is the point? I am left scratching my head, why would the wwe do the whole Calgary Kid angle ? Why change his wardrobe and so called attitude ?

It's often called Character Development. It's what people on these boards are always whining about, right up until it actually happens. Then they complain about how the specific character developed.

I mean I get it you broke up Miz and Morrison because you wanted to push Morrison, and for a good reason too he has charisma, talent and looks. The Miz brings things to the table that Kofi Kingston lacks, like great mike skills all Kofi has is a fake Jamaican accent,

Kofi lacks mic skills? That's news to me and the numerous fans that repeatedly mark out for and cheer the dude.

Fake Jamaican accent? Jamaicans came from Ghana originally, so I'd hazard a guess that Kofi, being from Ghana, has a legit accent.

a Charisma character who brings credibility into the ring,

I suppose you mean a charismatic character. At any rate, lulz. If Kofi doesn't bring credibility to the ring, then who does? Guerrero? Swoggle?

Kofi is a high flier and honestly has one of the shallowest characters in the wwe, can anyone really say Kofi is charismatic ?

1) So what if Kofi is a high flier? Everyone has a differently style.

2) Shallowest character? and the Miz isn't? Swoggle? Fucking Masters? You've got to be kidding me.

3) The fans that routinely pop for Kofi would definitely say he's charismatic.

I am not a huge Miz fan but I know a bad deal when I see one, and The Miz has been burnt by bad angles and I think it sucks.

To borrow from the thread title, OMGZ GUIZ, DA MIZ IZ BURID!!! He's in a program for the fucking US title, is he not? Then simmer down.
