Raw LD 11/22 - Cena's out, Beth Phoenix is in, and Cole is still the man.

[Marky-Marc]

Miz is not great in the ring at all but hes got the charisma and mic skills to get by

 

[Baller]

Thank you Freddy Prinze Jr.

 

[Starchild]

Let this be a lesson to you: NEVER write off a guy that comes in looking like a joke. You never know what could happen.

I admit, I did it with Cena when he debuted to challenge Kurt Angle pre-rap gimmick. And I did it with Miz several years ago.

Never again.

 

[Stormtrooper]

The fucking guy who used to go "Hoo-RAH!!" is now WWE champion. Wow. (In a good way)

MIZ IS THA CHAMP!

HOOO-RAH!

Let this be a lesson to you: NEVER write off a guy that comes in looking like a joke. You never know what could happen.

EXACTLY. This is a man who looked like he was going to be unemployed a few years ago. And to see Miz's evolution from curtain jerker feuding with the Boogeyman to tag team champion to United States Champion to Money in the Bank to World Champion is nothing short of amazing and inspiring in a way (not to get too sentimental). 2010 has been the year of The Miz, and we are all living in it.

Again, I can't say this enough, good job WWE. Tonight was truly epic.

 

[Marky-Marc]

I like the idea of Miz v Morrison at the Rumble

 

[Father Uncle Oscar]

MIZ IS THA CHAMP!

HOOO-RAH!

HOOO-RAH!

I won't be able to sleep tonight! THIS IS AWESOME! *CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP*

 

[Vincent Michaels]

So about any argument that WWE doesn't push young guys....yeah you're wrong.

In the past year we've gotten Sheamus, Swagger, and now Miz. Yeah I'd have to agree.

 

[J-Dogg]

Miz has everything, great mic skills, charisma and good in ring ability, fuck anyone who disputes that, and lucky aint working when next week's RAW is on.

 

[The Doctor]

this week just made that look like an episode of impact.

Two A+ RAWs in a row. And here we were all worried that today would suck. You know what we got? We got STORIES. We got TALENT. We got MATCHES. We got SURPRISES. We got ENTERTAINMENT.

I was telling people this afternoon - Last week and yesterday were perfect examples of why I love wrestling. Unpredictability, stories, not knowing what's going to happen next, and moments like this.

Incredible.

 

[hello]

best raw ever, hats off to the miz

 

[Turd Ferguson]

This is the first full episode of Raw I've watched in months.

Between Punk on commentary and Miz winning the title, I picked a good episode.

 

[Marky-Marc]

I love it lately, never know whats gonna happen, this is great

 

[bigdogstalfos]

I know I was standing the whole time during the main event and yelled "HOLY SHIT HE'S CASHING IT IN" followed by "HOLY SHIT MIZ IS CHAMPION." Now I need to cool down. So much for going to bed early tonight.

 

[Tequila Dave]

I can't remember the last time I was so excited for the future of a superstar or the WWE in general. In a weeks time most of the people on these forums will be bitching about something or other in the WWE (I'll most likely be one of these), but tonight reminded be why I love wrestling and why I still watch. Best Raw of the year.

 

[Alastor]

Just look at how WWE pushed Miz and how TNA pushed Morgan and we can tell the difference in the quality of the booking.

 

[Marky-Marc]

So glad i watched this live tn, I normally go out for MNF but my friends had work if I wouldve read this tomorrow before watching DVR i wouldve been pissed

 

[J-Dogg]

I really can't wait till next week now.

 

[Stormtrooper]

This is the first full episode of Raw I've watched in months.

Between Punk on commentary and Miz winning the title, I picked a good episode.

and it was a good enough show to draw you into watching next weeks show, correct?

 

[Y-2-Jay]

And look at this LD from the RAW Draft in 09. (The link is at the part of Miz's draft so no need to look for that part)

Most laughed, joked and even said well see ya in you're future endeavor's Miz. Check it out for a look back in WZ LD history.

 

[srchmast]

This is the first time i've ever jumped out of my seat since Austin beat taker on raw back in 99. The Miz wins the gold before JMo . So glad I gave Miz a chance back when he was pimping expose in the wwecw. The guy loves the business and worked his butt off to get here. Thank god my teacher got sick (jk) and dismissed class in time for me to witness my 2nd favorite wwe star (Punk is #1) win the belt.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh snap and Raw is in Louisiville in like two weeks!

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Miz has done something no other heel MITB winner has done. He won an actual match, against an opponent that was at least capable of beating him. That puts him above the Championship cash-ins of Edge, Swagger & Punk.

Yes, Orton was hurt (ish) and yeah he just finished a match, albeit not half as bad as the likes of Taker, Cena or Jeff Hardy. Miz's win wasn't just a typical cash-in, it was a statement that he's for real as a Champion! Great ending, now they can't shit on him as Champion with DQ/Countout endings to keep the belt. Let him keep winning.

 

[Y-2-Jay]

Another thread about how Miz would fail and get fired. Some more history for you.

[Ferreira]

Yeah right, good one, more like his journey to the land of future endovers begins

Who's laughing now?

btw, I quoted this from WWE 2009 Draft when Miz was drafted to RAW.
