At what point does Miz transition from wrestler to announcer?

[Destor]

[/thread]

It feels like the only logical progression for him...or am I alone on this?

[screech]

He was pretty bad on Main Event. He was face at the time, though, and he's awful as a face in general.

[Ultra Mantis]

Only when the world is ready for a Miz / Riley reunion.

[screech]

I miss Alex Riley and Josh Matthews doing Main Event

[Fignuts]

If his commentary is as boring and phony as his interviews on documentaries, hopefully never.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

When they fire him and he has to go to Tits and Ass Wrestling Shitpact.

[Simple Fan]

If he went to TNA he would probally be the champ the first night he appears and hold it for well over a year. Thats just TNA logic.

[Crippla]

I've never liked The Miz in any way. He should just vanish

That is assuming they still have a show.

[Innovator]

When does he stop being polite and start getting real?

As in stop pretending do be a wrestler

[Tom Guycott]

As I said in that other Miz thread, I would really like to see him as a tradtional heel manager in his current Hollywood Miz gimmick.

As much as everyone gushing over Mizdow (myself included), Miz is actually doing some of the best work he's ever done, including Awesome Truth. Problem is, this is a couple years later than the whole "Must-See WWE Champion" and the downward spiral into apathy that followed.

Unless WWE can seriously focus on rebuilding Miz to make him seem a credible and consistent championship threat in the ring, they should just transition him to ringside. Kinda reminds me of some old Cornette. He should just throw iced coffee in opponents eyes instead of a tennis racket to the dome.

[Emperor Smeat]

After foolishly facing Lesnar in a match where Lesnar F5's him so hard he bounces out of the ring and into the announcer's table. From there Miz gets an epiphany and realizes his future is in announcing.

Or maybe 2-3 years from now since he'd be in his late 30s by then and still has some value to the WWE.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yep, it's so true you HAD to say it twice.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Miz ain't so bad.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The Miz is pretty solid, and technically a good personality, but he just doesn't make anything urgent. Not since 2010/2011. Once he's done making Damien Sandow into a star, I'd like to see him feud with clearly a "nobody" in Sami Zayn, and then maybe think about becoming more of that traditional heel manager that can bump and make the babyfaces look grand.

[Anybody Thrilla]

How do you mean he doesn't make anything urgent?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Like, when was the last time he was in a hot program that made you go "Yes, I must put down money to see that!"?

[Mr. Nerfect]

The stuff with R-Truth is the last time I can remember being genuinely interested in the guy. That being said, he is playing his current role pretty perfectly. It's just not hitting home-runs.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Like, when was the last time he was in a hot program that made you go "Yes, I must put down money to see that!"?

Never.

It's all Mizdow right now too. So, now doesn't count either.

[Clerk]

Miz, Cole, JBL that announce team would be biblical.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Like, when was the last time he was in a hot program that made you go "Yes, I must put down money to see that!"?

I don't see that as his fault, though.

[screech]

Never.

Can't have one without the other

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't see that as his fault, though.

No, it's not entirely his fault. But it doesn't change the fact that he's just not that interesting as a performer at the moment.

[Crippla]

I've never found him interesting period. Don't like him at all

[Ultra Mantis]

The Miz is a one note character, no matter how they tweak it. He also has the problem of being overshadowed by whoever he is paired with, Dirt Sheet era Morrison, Sandow, Truth. Alex Riley might be the exception, but then again he is Alex Riley.

[Ultra Mantis]

Not even counting ShowMiz since that was a direct expy of JeriShow.

Alex Riley got huge pops when he turned on Miz and kicked his ass. Riley wins too.

[Clerk]

He did not get a huge pop. If he did he wouldn't be a analyst for PPV's. Idiot.

Owned.

PPV: Capitol Punishment

3 Alex Riley defeated The Miz Singles match 10:13

[Clerk]

This is not a pop lol. You know nothing about the WWE

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If there's one thing i know it's wrestling. I don't question your knowledge of being a fucking piece of shit. That's the one thing you know.

[Clerk]

Ok you know alittle about wrestling I know more.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That was a pretty decent segment, but that pop really wasn't anything to write home about.

[XL]

On fairness, that was the most over Riley ever was. That was down to people wanting to see Miz get his ass kicked. Nobody cared about Riley outside of that feud.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Then Riley got that really kick ass theme song, so people were feeling him for 43 seconds until he started wrestling, and they were like 'naahhhhhhhhhhhh'.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Riley was over for a good time afterwards. It's just a shame that things didn't work out. A lot of that was Riley, but a lot of that was creative not really having anything for him once CM Punk usurped "hottest act" in the summer of 2011.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That was a pretty decent segment, but that pop really wasn't anything to write home about.

It was a nice pop and name chant. Pretty significant for somebody who was never a face before.

Riley had a chance to become US Champion against Dolph but the feud died quickly.

Sometimes the music can be more over than the guy.

Drew Mac, Alex Riley, Tyson Kidd, The Nexus, The Corre.
