OK, so before I get into this, I suppose I should point out that I am a huge Miz mark. If the icon and the name didn't tell you that, then...
but what my point is is that Raw is stale.. Why put in Sheamus? He had absolutely no time to develop!! He just got here June 09 had a short fued with Goldust then a quick little fued with Shelton Benjamin, he beat up some local people and retired Jamie Noble and beat up lawler and a camera guy.. Then he got a title shot.. Wtf! way to soon... I think that he should have atleast had more time to develop as his gimmick... He put Cena through a table and here we are now...
With this particular statement, I can semi-concur. However, Sheamus has been on WWE's radar for quite some time, working dark matches and in developmental. Is it a little fast for him to be getting a title shot? Probably, as he hasn't had much time to build up a character. However, there are a ton of threads out there about Sheamus and why he is the number one contender...so for this point, I direct you to search the forum for them.
Oh...and as another poster pointed out...guys who are rushed into the title scene tend to fall off quickly. I'd rather see that happen to Sheamus than Miz.
So you mean to tell me now that Raw is stale with Cena hbk hhh Orton and the world title is between them, you think that the miz shouldnt be thrown in there for the sake of making things a bit fresh... Having a guy with that much talent should be thrown in.. Not a guy who has been here for 5 months retiring a guy who is half his size and wrestles once in a blue moon...
In particular, let's look at the wording here. ...the miz shouldnt be thrown in there for the sake of making things a bit fresh... NO! No one should be thrown in anything for the sake of making things fresh (which is why I fear for Sheamus' long term career). We as fans don't get emotionally involved in "fresh." We get involved in storylines and characters. While I grant you that Miz has a well established (albeit somewhat generic) heel character, he is not ready for the Main Event. The character is there, but the story isn't. Right now, he's the US Champion. That was his stated goal when he came "back" after being "fired," so he is were he should be. Look at the guy, he's in love with that title. Would the WWE title be nicer? Yeah, but it isn't were Miz is at yet. He's moving that way, at least I think he is. By giving him more intimidating and impressive competition (Mark Henry, for example), WWE is putting him over as a legit champion, not a flash in the barrel guy.
The Miz has had plenty of time as a US champ he should have dropped it to Swagger last month in a match or something... He is the most rounded newest superstar to come... To say that he isnt ready for a world title upper card status is just insane... Seeing a man we hardly know vs cena isnt very entertaining.. no offense to sheamus because i like him but he rushed the title scene......
I don't think he's had the title long enough. He won it in October, this is December. That's TWO MONTHS. Knowing I'm going to sound old (even though I'm only 23), two months is not a particularly long reign...certainly not long enough if you're trying to actually build the guy up. John Cena's first US title reign was 4 months...and he had the belt stripped by Angle. MVP had the belt for just shy of one year, and he was a big star when he came to RAW. (Yeah, the 'E' dropped the ball with him after that move, but he was going strong until then.) Holding onto a midcard title for an extended period helps give the title some prestige and the holder some credibility.
As to the him being ready for the main event thing...unfortunately, the only face to go one on one with is Cena. Yeah, Miz has improved greatly, but not enough to be considered a true threat to Cena after the squash match defeats he was dealt in the summer. Is his character ready? Almost. He needs to make his character more personal. Right now, I feel he's mostly a generic, cocky heel (although he plays the part extremely well). He needs to introduce something else to that equation to really push his character over the top (no, not in a cartoonish way).
The miz will hopefully get in the wwe title scene 2010 Hes had plenty of time to develop.. Cena won his first wwe title just under 3 years of him debuting, look at how successful hes been(as much as i hate to say it -_-)....
OK. Cena has the look, and Vinnie Mac saw dollar signs the moment he laid eyes on the guy. Am I saying three years is too early? No, not really. But think about this. Bret "The Hitman" Hart was with WWF for, if I'm not mistaken, Bret was in the WWF for 8 years before he won the big one. HBK was with the WWE for...7 years before winning the big one. HHH? 4 years. Edge? 8 years. Waiting a bit, building a character people care about (whether they love you or hate you) is more important for longevity than winning championships early in your career. Cena is the guy who had the look on coming in. HBK, HHH, Hart, and Edge are all guys who did NOT have that look coming in (seriously, go look up some photos of HHH from '95)...but thanks to time and character development, they are (or were) at the top of the business because of their in ring accomplishments, not their looks. (Well, banging the boss' daughter doesn't hurt, either
)
Why cant Miz win one now, he debuted 06 now its 09... Im not saying everyone is cena but still he is one of the most developed in mic skills charisma and in ring ability... I dont understand why!
Try to sound a little less whiny...I've outlined above why I think it's great that Miz is where he is. It speaks well to longevity and being a guy who will entertain us for many years to come. Ultimately, I'm willing to be a little less than thrilled with the current situation when I look at the prospect of being entertained for years to come.
