Today's superstar of the week is WWE's The Miz. The reality star who became the WWE world champion.
I understand some people don't like the
Miz because of his reality star past. But think about it, he is an entertainer.
It is what he is paid to do and a damn good one at that. I mean in wrestling it
is important to have your good guys (babyfaces) to love and bad guys (heels)
for fans to hate. And The Miz gets the fans to boo. Sometimes it's because of
what he says and sometimes it's because of his face alone makes fans boo. Not a lot of people can get that reaction out
of the fans in the modern day of wrestling. But no matter how you feel about
him you have to give him respect because he has given us a lot of good stuff
over the past few years. He hasn't done it alone. With John Morrison, we got
"The greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century *Insert head tilts here* we got
a great tag team when new tag teams weren't really there.
I mean you had the
Hardys and DX with whom Miz and Morrison had great matches with but we also got
something that wasn't done before but since has grown to be one of WWE's main
features. I am talking about web shows and yes I'm talking about The Dirt
Sheet. That show complimented both Miz and Morrison in a great way and it did
it without having them on TV which sometimes isn't always a bad thing. I mean
on the show they got to showcase their creativity and develop their characters.
After the greatest tag team of the 21 century was forced to disband, he joined
Big Show which was a great tag team as well for that time. And I know the theme
song wasn't the best... (Jeri Show) was much better but what can you do). After
this, we got to see The Miz get the spotlight as he won the WWE Championship. That moment was great because people hated him
it was great. I mean if you watch the video you can see the first row of people
in shock over what happened. And you can also see one little girl not very happy about the outcome.
But this moment was a dream come true for the kid who grew up running around his house like the Ultimate Warrior. You can read his lips as he says "I told you so" to all of his critics. In the later months, he was a great variable to make even the hardcore fans like John Cena because the fans hated the Miz so much. He was one of the if not the top heel during that time. With Alex Riley as his rookie, it was a great pairing. Then following the end of Miz and Riley and his reign as WWE champion came The Awesome Truth = Miz and R-Truth. On paper, it doesn't sound like the best team but just watch the aftermath of Hell in a Cell 2011 to see how much hate they had by the fans as they interrupted the main event and attacked all participates in the match. They had so much potential, but they lost to The Rock and John Cena and nothing really came from them after that (was that really need it). Next came a Intercontinental Title Run which made him the 25th Triple Crown Champion in WWE history and spending time with Ric Flair and stuff. Which wasn't memorable because The Miz we are used to the heel Miz who will make fun of the crowd and tells them to shut up. But lets pretend like it never happened.
Now we are at the aftermath of Miz and Mizdow pairing which was one of most raved thing on television. People love Mizdow and that Niagara commercial with The Miz's facial reactions simply gold. We have a Miz who still makes people hate him whenever he comes out, but he has found a way to make the crowd boo loud and it is amazing. I hope the WWE gives him another opportunity to shine because I know he can take the ball and run with it. With his skills on the microphone, his wrestling but most importantly his reactions
This is why WWE’s
The Miz is Dragon Suplex Blog's Superstar of the Week.
