Retro Analysis Thread: Miz vs Cena - Wrestlemania 27

**Schlomey** · 03-27-2013, 12:21 PM

So lately there has been a lot of talk about The Miz and how he either sucks in the ring, sucks as being a babyface and/or still some talk about his WWE Title match at Wrestlemania 27 not being up to par.

Moments ago I re-watched the match as a stand alone feature to see if it was as bad as some say it was and more importantly as bad as I remember it being.

Start: The entrances with the life/career retrospectives were awesome and really made The Miz look like he belonged in the main event.

Match: Started slow and built. Miz and Reilly were PERFECT together. While I found the action to not be as amazing as past Mania main events I really truly enjoyed the "old school" vibe of having a good guy and face of the company facing off against the evil champion with a straight up heel manager.

End: At the time and to this day, The Miz is the afterthought in regards to the ending and how future events panned out. That very moment set up the next 2 full years of WWE which is totally not something we expected from the WWE writers.

Conclusion: As a stand alone match I really enjoyed it this time around. The Miz not only held his own throughout the match but from beginning to end played the role of dastardly villain complete with evil heel managers, exposed turnbuckles and head shots with a steel case to a T.

While he hasn't had a match or a moment like that since that night at Wrestlemania 27 I am going to be part of the minority and say that I want the Miz back in the WWE main event (preferably as a heel, of course).

So now it's up to you TPWW-Universe. Re-watch the match from beginning to end as a stand-alone match and create a new and less objectified opinion on Miz vs Cena from WM 27.
