What to do with The Miz? (Raw spoilers)

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>So...Miz is now "banned" from Raw.

Is this something they are going to stick with, and make an angle out of it, or have they already given up on him and are flipping him to another show?

I'd like to see them go somewhere with this...but knowing WWE's recent track record and complete lack of forward-thinking, I could see him moving shows. I could see him return to ECW to be the next challenger to the ECW Title...or go to SmackDown to have a proper feud with Morrison. I dunno.</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

I haven't been able to watch for the past month and a half or so. Why did he get banned?

[The Jayman]

I honestly would like to see him go to smackdown to have that feud with Morrison. They are really working on the Punk/Hardy thing and I don't see them putting Morrison in the mix so he needs a good feud going.

[ClockShot]

He got buried, dug up, and buried again last night. It's like creative can't make up their mind about the guy.

If it keeps it up, I think a change of venue is in order. Either jump to Smackdown and give Morrison something to do, or have them reconcile and give them another go with the tag titles.

I mean, there's always Real World/Road Rules challenges. How long is he locked in the company for?

[Evil Vito]

I haven't been able to watch for the past month and a half or so. Why did he get banned?

<font color=goldenrod>He got put in a lumberjack match against Cena in which he'd be banned if he lost. Piven hand-picked all of he Raw heels to be lumberjacks, and...shock of shocks...Cena overcame the odds with one move, and Miz is banned.</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

That's dumb.

Maybe they can have him dress up in different costumes each week with names like The Fizz, The Bliz, The Whiz, etc. He'd never get caught. Look at Santina.

[Afterlife]

Maybe that was the whole idea; a name change/new direction on Raw.

[erickman]

he can be the new curryman

[roach21]

Maybe creative just doesn't take him seriously because of his reality tv past. I see him in an intergender tag team with that Jenna chick from survivor after he gets future endeavored and signs with TNA. They could go by Reality Bites.

[Anybody Thrilla]

They've taken him seriously enough if you recall his tag title runs. He owns a pinfall over Shawn Michaels, you know.

[Lock Jaw]

Hopefully he goes to Smackdown. Puts all the eggs in one basket, pretty much.

[Droford]

The Miz will be on ECW tagging with Zach Ryder. He should just change his name to Curt Hawkins so they can reuse the old Hawkins and Ryder titan trons and graphics to save money.

This was actually the guy I was hoping they'd swap him for.

Are you saying you want Zack Ryder on Raw? I don't want anyone valuable on Raw, look at Swagger and Bourne. Sure Swagger got the win this week, but honestly who cares... The same would go for Ryder on Raw. But if you were just talking about swapping Miz for Hawkins then yeah for sure.

[FourFifty]

Now that I thought of it you're right Ryder would probly end up getting buried on RAW unless he was thrown into the US title hunt right off the bat. Although I have a feeling a member of Legacy will be the next holder of it which would be a good way to start the beginning of their end. Could have a 3 way trade and go to SD but then again they've already got an excellent IC contender in Dolph Ziggler right now but that's really it though so perhaps that's the way to go?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Future Endeavors.

I'm thinking maybe THIS, as I could see them putting him on the low end of things on ECW, and seeing if he brings his game to the next level and can achieve ECW Champ status (don't see that in his future, though...:-\), and if he can't...PINK SLIP!

[Innovator]

Get him FAR away from RAW, Cena, and RAW creative

[Skippord]

I want him on Smackdown

[GD]

SummerSlam: John Morrison versus The Miz

[Skippord]

he's banned from summerslam

[DAMN iNATOR]

he's banned from summerslam

Of course, though, we all know that's going to lead to him making a sneak run-in from somewhere to ruin somebody's night...hopefully Cena's.

[Fox]

This whole situation reminds me so much of the Jericho/Goldberg stuff in WCW. Jericho is way over as a talented, charismatic heel, picking on a legitimate main eventer and getting absolutely nothing worthwhile out of it from creative.

I really thought they were going to push Miz and have him stand his own against Cena. I really thought he was going to be a new upper mid-card to main event player on RAW, and for the first time in a long time, I was excited about watching the show on Monday nights, just to see Cena get his comeuppance.

Fucking WWE.

[Xerzes]

Fired.

Into the sun.

Choked on my tea. :lol:

I'll pay for the fuel for the rocket.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They could do so many things with The Miz. They can turn this into a RAW angle, where The Miz somehow tries to get his job back. They could move him to ECW, I guess -- but probably the best one for all parties would be moving The Miz to SmackDown!. There is a lack of heel depth in the mid-card and even main event over there, so The Miz could certainly fill a role.

One idea, though, is that they could have The Miz humbled by his experience, and start teaming with John Morrison again. Maybe not permanently, but a sort of reunion tour for a feud with The Hart Dynasty could be sort of cool. With Jeri-Show as Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, and D-Generation X getting back together, some sort of division consisting of The Best in the World at What They Do, DX, The Hart Dynasty, Cryme Tyme, Ezekiel Jackson & Vlaidmir Kozlov, Legacy, the reunited Colon Brothers, The Hardy Boyz (when Matt is better, and if Jeff stays), Edge & Christian (when Edge returns), The Brothers of Destruction and Mizorrison could be really cool.

But we all know the WWE won't do that.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really don't understand all the Miz hatred.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think it was his start with the company. He was too green when he debuted, and his initial push as a face character was really annoying. He just wasn't ready, and didn't find his niche until he started teaming with John Morrison.

The dude has simply improved. He may not be a technical genius, and he may never be, but he's had some genuinely good matches to his name (mainly with John Morrison), and he's got his mic stuff down (and he's no longer doing the whole annoying thing). He's finding his tempo, and it will work out for the guy, I think.

Now that I think about it, a feud between John Morrison and The Miz over the now uber-prestigious IC Title would be top quality stuff.

[Y2Ant]

Maybe his firing will last as long as Jericho's when Steph fired him earlier this year...?

[parkmania]

I really don't understand all the Miz hatred.

1. He's from Cleveland. I'm from Pittsburgh.

2. From Day 1 and his "Hoo-rah" bullshit, I've never been able to stomach listening to him. Just because he was using "smark-talk" when he started feuding with Cena didn't make him tolerable to me.

3. He's the world's largest douchebag.

[Anybody Thrilla]

He hasn't said hoo rah in like two years.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Really, what makes him a douchebag?

[Skippord]

The Miz is fantastic, you can all shut your faces

by all I mean the people bad mouthing The Miz

[Afterlife]

1. He's from Cleveland. I'm from Pittsburgh

Then your feeling isn't hate, it's jealousy.

HOOOOOOOOO-RAAAAAAAH!

[XCaliber]

Wherever he goes I hope Maryse follows cuz their segments were decent.

[dablackguy]

Just because he was using "smark-talk" when he started feuding with Cena didn't make him tolerable to me.

That was the point. Its how most 18-29 male wrestling fans feel about Cena. I was happy as hell when he came out and said all that

[screech]

I also do not understand how so many people hate Miz. He's improved so much, and was the best part of RAW for a while.

[#1-norm-fan]

Whether he goes to Smackdown or not, I'd like to see an angle for a few weeks where he appeals to whoever the guest host might be for that week trying to get rehired by them. Just completely kissing up and helping them promote whatever they are trying to promote and such.

That's what I'm thinking they may do.

[Gertner]

Have him shoot more midgets in the nuts with the t-shirt gun.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Miz came outon RAW tonight as a debuting WWE wrestler, the "Calgary Kid", ultimately defeating, for some reason, Eugene, in a "Contract-on-a-pole" match, in which the winner retrieves the contract from the pole, thus earning a spot on the RAW roster. After the match, Miz used his facebuster maneuver and unmasked by the announce table, revealing his true identity.

[Droford]

I would have never guessed "wrestle Eugene in a contract on a pole match wearing a mask getting cheap pops from the crowd by naming himself after the town RAW is in" in a million years..obviously the RAW writers are geniuses.

Yeah, but who are we to question them?:roll:

[Nark Order]

Good god. Dinsmore is a mess.

[Cuzziebro]

I didn't even know Dinsmore was still hired by WWE?

[Mr. Nerfect]

He got re-hired recently. Fuck the WWE for bringing the Eugene character back. I'm glad Dinsmore is working, and I know it suits the kid-friendly WWE, but for the love of God, Dinsmore is better than this shit.

Yeah, really. I mean, it was just PAINFUL watching that BS on RAW.:n: Wonder what other garbage guys from the past they'll bring back just to spit in our faces...

[Mr. Nerfect]

Enough time has passed so that the WWE could pass off Nick Dinsmore as someone else entirely. Darren Dinsmore could have been an interesting addition to SmackDown!, in wrestling matches with guys like Charlie Haas and Finlay.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I hope we won't be stuck with any more Eugene matches on TV. It literally makes me wince, every time I see how awful his version of someone else's finishing moves are.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I will take joy if they feed the character to William Regal and Paul Burchill in consecutive weeks on ECW, before the repackage Dinsmore, though.

Also, just so people know, Dinsmore is back in the WWE because they want him grooming younger talent. Apparently.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Maybe he should learn about grooming his hair first. How 'bout that? Then we'll talk.

They want a guy who plays a retard on TV to teach young talent..

I dont see how that possibly could be a bad idea.

[Volare]

Because if your better than a retard, then you belong in WWE! Simple WWE logic right there.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Well, when you consider that Nick Dinsmore is one of the better pure workers in the WWE, and has helped train guys before, it's not the talent's fault. I just don't know how much they can learn by wrestling "Eugene," whose matches are all pretty much farce.

[ddpBANG]

You can't really blame this one on the WWE. Dinsmore is the one who came up with the Eugene character. He even portrayed the "U-Gene" character on the indy scene after he was released.

Did Dinsmore actually come up with it? I can't imagine a guy with that much wrestling talent wanting to do nothing but fumble around the ring. Dinsmore could do it and do it well, but I always thought that he was just playing "U-Gene" to get more bookings and make some extra cash on the indy scene.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Like or hate Eugene, the character is pretty unique. He probably just thought it was a good idea to get him on TV. Not like it matters now, though.

That's exactly what happened. He was in OVW for like 6 years and not going anywhere. He needed something to get him onto the main roster.

[Kane86]

In my opinion The Miz is nothing without John Morrison. His gimmick sucks and he is not AWESOME!

[Anybody Thrilla]

But Kane86...The Miz says that he IS awesome. I'm confused now.

[Kane86]

No Mike Awesome he was Awesome. The Miz was shit when he started and he will be shit when he gets the axe. Lets face it he is not cut for singles competition.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Then how do you explain his victory over Tommy Dreamer that one time?

[Kane86]

Then how do you explain his victory over Tommy Dreamer that one time?

Who doesn't have a victory over Tommy Dreamer?
Its not even a big deal anymore.
The Miz is Cenas Job boy bitch

[Anybody Thrilla]

What about that one time when The Miz defeated Balls Mahoney?

[Mr. Nerfect]

What about The Miz's 8,000 victories over John Cena?
