He's been the most underrated guy on the roster for a decade. While everyone's been going on and on about the missed opportunities of a Ziggler or Ryder, he's been there making guys like Sandow (or Mizdow if you prefer) and being the best and maybe only pure heel they've got.
To piggyback on what RP said about his early days, I agree 100p. The guy would talk about his alter ego "The Miz" and everyone would be like "Yeah, ok dude. You'll have to get a real job like the rest of us at a Gap when you give up on whatever this is" now here he is living his dream. I went with some chicks in college to see him and Coral (from that season too) "speak" and he was really really cool, took pics and answered questions all day. For some reason I feel "good" when he does well which I can't say for anyone else.
Go back and watch when he cashed in his MITB and won the title. Look at his face just before they ring the bell. That's literally watching a guy's dreams come true. Gives me goosebumps.
The hardest thing to do is to tell/sell the story. He's the best at it - and that quality gets overlooked way too much now.
