Trish vs. Mickie James stole WrestleMania 22 for me. I know this is a card that also had Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon and Edge vs. Foley, but I wasn't that involved in them because I felt like Michaels and Edge were in the wrong places. That actually does matter to me.
Trish vs. Mickie was the best match that felt like it was placed right, built right, etc. I also remember her stuff with Victoria being enjoyable. Her character work goes into what makes her play back well in my mind.
Can anyone really name a great Miz match? I enjoyed his character work with Morrison, as I said, but I can't remember one match from that run. I did like his match with Ziggler at Backlash, even though the emotional investment in nil. That is 12 years into his professional career. Trish retired from full-time competition in after 5.
I see Miz's profightdb profile says Dave Meltzer awarded him a 4.5 star rating for a match at Extreme Rules 2016. I cannot, for the life of me, remember what that match was.
