Ya know what? I don't think its The Miz's fault that his credibility is being questioned.
I think that creative mishandled this entire WM lead up in every way possible. There were several missteps Vince and creative took leading up to last night's PPV that drastically undermined Miz's progress such as...
1. The Rock being guest host. Sorry to disappoint all you new PG fans but The Rock overshadowed all the performers on the card with the exception of Taker/HHH. Dead or not, the Attitude Era is always going to overshadow everything being done today.
Consider this, Stone Cold is guest referee in what was a throwaway match to begin with just to give it some credibility....The Rock is guest host....HHH/Taker which was already done before at WM was redone to give the card that interesting quality match. The Rock ends up not only deciding the main event but also beats down both the contender AND the champion...
2. This match was supposed to be billed as John Cena vs. The Miz period The End. Built up properly this could've been a legitimate main event in today's wrestling world.
Problem: The Rock/Cena feud was built up way too fast and poorly timed. This became Rock/Cena oh yeah the Miz too...
3. Cena losing his huge fan base. Before the Rock came out Cena was undoubtedly "THE" face of the company. His popularity took a massive hit turning him semi heel before the PPV. I mean he couldn't even speak at the WM Press Conference because he was booed out of the building. He paused several times because you could see it visibly bothered him. He has no choice but to go heel now unless they make the Rock do something so underhanded as to make the fans have no choice but to hate him,
Problem: Majority of adult fans are bored with SuperCena and can't think of any reason to really wanna cheer him combined with the fact that I don't think The Rock can do anything right now to make him a heel short of telling the fans to go screw themselves...
Vince jumped the gun on a Rock/Cena feud and completely buried his champion to third billing in his own main event. Bottom line was that the way this feud was going fans weren't interested in the match, they were waiting for The Rock to interfere. I think it speaks volumes when the Guest Host of WrestleMania overshadows the two guys actually competing in the ring.
You know how it should've been handled imho? I'll give ya a short gen description...
Rock is announced as guest host of WM....he comes out and makes much more subtle jabs at Cena...not so in your face like he did...something subtle...
Allow Miz/Cena proper buildup without the Hosts involvement...on the go home show you have Miz cut a promo similar to the one that he did without mentioning Cena/Rock...
Cena comes out in superface (yawn) and promos about winning the belt and yadda yadda yadda...
Rock comes out and interupts cutting promos on both participants in the ME and more subtle shots but have him more as an inbetweener...leave him vague...he says he plans to kick someone's ass at some point but you don't really know who he is after...
WM comes Cena vs Miz and follow the same format...Rock shocks everyone by costing Cena the belt without any sort of reason. Rock does his thing with the fans followed by Cena shoving him and asking why he did what he did while Miz is recovering on the outside...Rock/Cena staredown interrupted by Miz blindsiding Cena with the belt and Riley hitting the Rock.
You accomplish several things....you leave mystery as to why the Rock cost Cena the belt and building up an epic feud...The Miz lays out everyone making him a credible heel and you KEEP HIM RELEVANT!
I repeat...this should've been Miz/Cena... not Rock/Cena and other guy who happens to be there by default...
Vince overshooting his load ruined the ME of WM by burying his own champion in the top feud...That was the perception and regardless of how it played out he jerked Miz over...nothing he could've done would've helped him looked better because he was facing a loaded deck.
Heels should look weak yes...but not to the point where they get beat up by hosts not even wrestling on the card whether it be The Rock or anyone else...he should've been handled as a legitimate threat and not third billing on a one on one match...
