Dear Guru Dave,
as one of the biggest Jack Swagger marks on this forum, even I can tell you that his reign was abysmal. The quality of matches was very watchable, but the crowd reaction was not there. Great Khali's reign might have been big in South Asia, but it still does not mean it was good. The rest of the world sat on their ass and waited for someone who could save them from boredom while Khali very slowly crawled his way through a championship reign.
Finally, I never was a big fan of The Miz, and his title reign did not change that fact. Miz had about two interesting matches in his 4-5 months reign (one with Morrison, the other one I don't even know. I'm just guessing he must have had another good match). Miz needs to understand that talking very slowly and repeating cliches do not make for an interesting promo. He sometimes showed flashes of greatness, like when he told the story of his way from being disrespected to being a champion, but otherwise, he was just coming across as Diet Chris Jericho.
Sincerely,
Kapoutman
