The Miz can talk better than AJ Styles, but it doesn't mean anything because I'd prefer to watch AJ Styles perform over The Miz ten times out of ten. I'm not talking isolated mic skills -- I'm talking mic skills for a top guy. If The Miz cut a promo and then AJ said "Miz, I'm going to kick your Hollywood ass," Styles' lines would be more effective.

He's golden on the mic. He'd be a legend in another era.
Styles has been fucked around (didn't he lose to James Ellsworth like three weeks in a row?), but the reason he survives it is because of his charisma, lol. He's bulletproof, basically, because it shines through how good he is and people don't lose faith in him like they have the dudes you're accurately pointing out have been booked into oblivion.
