I voted for Trish. It's that charisma and, within her own realm, that credibility that give her the nudge for me. When it comes to the in-ring stuff, I believe Miz is a guy that gets a lot of credit because people always think about him being shit. He can go out there and he can have a competent enough match and people call it "good."
There have been moments in history where I have been hopeful for Miz. I liked his team with John Morrison and some of his promo work around the time of his big singles push. But that flopped pretty big. Trish did quite well in her role. That says something about charisma and star power.
Miz is a good talker, but I don't think that's the same as being a good promo. He's had one, maybe two good promos I can remember. He's confident and clear on the mic, but he never says anything too great. Maybe that is the scripted era, but you can't give Miz points based on hypothetical potential.
I also don't buy him in the ring (and I don't think the casual fan does either). He still looks like a guy playing wrestler. He does some movez when he's working with Ziggler now, so I think people are retroactively upping the borefests that have been their other 992 matches. I can't think of one thing he does well in the ring in a noteworthy sense. I mean, Curtis Axel can trash-talk; Heath Slater can sell. Miz is selfless, I will give him that. Because he gets these unwarranted pushes, he has something of a kayfabe credibility, and then he gets dropkicked by a tiny guy and makes them look good.
He could be a wonderful enhancement talent or manager. I kind of hate him hovering around as anything serious as a singles act though. As always, it comes down to who is going to make you more money. Trish beat out Charlotte and she beats out Miz, even if you get Maryse in the deal.
