I'll try to fill in this part with crap cos I forgot how the auto preview works when hovering over a link in the thread list...
So do you feel that arguably the most improved all-round wrestler of recent times will be the first to lose his MITB shot?? I personally feel it's perfect for his charactir after they missed the ball on the most obvious feud for him and adding to his "I think I'm in with the big boys" arrogant heel persona. But aside from that, let this be a dedication to all good things The Miz has done since he was the Janetty of the team with Morrison, with the roles now seemingly reversed. ![]() |

Not necessarily, I think he will keep it around for a while and cash it in at a great time (Say for instance, at Survivor Series 2010 when Team Cena beat Team Nexus in a 7 on 7 main event or maybe after the main event at WWE:TLC)

I don't want him to lose the cash-in, but I can see it happening.

Oh I agree he'll keep it for a while, he'll brag about it like a true heel.

It's about time he is taken more seriously but I'm sure he'll soon lose the US title to the likes of either his former partner in Morrison or the up and comer in Bourne. Even by the off chance he loses when he goes to cash it in he will become WWE Champion sooner or later I have no doubt about in my mind. I'm expecting him to unlike Kane to carry it around for a long while and perhaps cash it in once this whole Nexus thing has blown over.

If The Miz cashes it in opportunistically, he should win. This would paint The Miz in the mold of heels like Edge and CM Punk. If the WWE wants him to be a heel of that colour, then he should cash in successfully like that -- preferably against someone people give a damn about. John Cena or Triple H would be the best options.
Otherwise, I personally would have The Miz announce his title shot ahead of time. They can chalk it up to arrogance, or him wanting to prove himself, or whatever -- but The Miz goes in as confirmed challenger, and then loses that match (the only way I can stomach the MITB winner losing), and it is used to give his character more gravity. But I'm not sure if I can trust the WWE to do that. The Miz came off amazing at Money in the Bank. Snatching victory from the jaws of Randy Orton so decisively, and then cutting a promo about how we are all in his moment, and he's proven us all wrong? It reminded me of Stone Cold Steve Austin's promo after winning the 1996 King of the Ring, for some reason. If the WWE want to turn him into a project, and not something they rush to glory, then I'd have him lose, but only if he announces his title shot well before his match. |

It's silly to act like The Miz will have some sort of stigma if he's the "first person not to win the belt with the MITB case". Winning that match and having that case alone will put him in the main event scene for the first time since that main event triple threat a few years back. I think thats quite an accomplishment for a former Real World contestant.
That being said, WWE won't waste this. |

I don't know when he'll cash it in or what will happen when he does, but I think the longer they wait the better.
Not that I don't think The Miz is ready by the standards of past champions and winners, but I'd like to see him develop more. They have an oppurtunity here to milk it like they did with Edge, or even how they seem to have intended to do with Kennedy before he got hurt. Having The Miz save it for Wrestlemania would be very exciting. |

I don't think that is the WWE's plan, though. I just think Money in the Bank is something that should be cashed in successfully. That's why the characters invest so much in it. It's a guaranteed run with a World Title, because it's on your terms. If you can't win the big one on your terms, then how are you meant to win it otherwise? If you want to tease a guy in a main event role and lose, then that is what the actual Ladder Match is for. Putting over one of the other guys who is ready to carry the big belt. John Morrison, for example, from an in-ring perspective is ready. If they aren't going to pull the trigger with The Miz, why cut off the balls of Morrison? Anyway, I can't help it. Here are my favourite things about The Miz winning Money in the Bank: * He won it in a big match. He beat three World Champions to win the briefcase. Not only that, but it actually looked like Orton was about to win when The Miz just brutally dumped him off the ladder and said "No way, it's mine." And he got it. Jericho and Edge added so much by just being stars in the match, and Orton actually managed to give The Miz a rub, I believe, by looking shit-scared as he realised The Miz was about to fuck him off. * The Miz looked genuinely emotional when he won the match. Love him or hate him, I don't think anyone can argue that it really seemed like winning Money in the Bank was a legitimate big deal to The Miz. He's a guy that really is out to prove he can do this, and I think a lot of the stuff he says in promos about proving everyone wrong comes from a very real place. Mike Mizanin is someone who seems like he truly appreciates just a big win like Money in the Bank, let alone being WWE Champion. That is a great thing to see. It also puts over the concept of the actual match itself. So many guys seem to win it and it's just like "Oh, so that guy won." The Miz made it seem like all his hard work had finally paid off. * His promo after the match. We don't really get to hear guys talk after such a war. If a guy is meant to cut a post-match promo, they'll usually only work a short match or something. I really think this shows the faith the WWE has in the guy, and if it was also partially a test, I think The Miz passed with flying colours. To cut a promo like that after falling off ladders and shit? That man is awesome. It also gave a more memorable ending to the match. It wasn't that the guy just won. He won, and then talked about it. It wasn't like they randomly selected a guy out of a hat. This match was The Miz's to win. That's also indicative to me that the WWE has huge plans for the guy. |

You guys have no idea how badly I wanted him to win in this Battle Royale (@ about 3:40) but since Orton was champ it only made sense still though it could have at least been booked it so at least in a way so Cena would have been screwed out of it.

If you think about it, the year and a half long slow build that the WWE has done with the Miz has been some of the best and most well thought out writing they've done in quite some time.
He's cocky and arrogant, goading an injured Cena until he finally gets a match...and gets the shit kicked out of him. After a couple more matches, it goes so far that he loses again and gets FIRED...only to cheat his way back in as a masked wrestler. He comes back with a chip on his shoulder and a mean streak, and his brash attitude belies what is actually a very skilled competitor. He's held the United States title for the better part of a year now, taking on most all comers. He's held the Unified Tag Team Titles, beating DX...twice in the process. And now he's taken it to a whole new level, taking out R-Truth and besting three former world champions as he, literally and figuratively, claws his way ever closer to the top of the WWE. Just listen to this promo he cut a couple of months ago... Miz has taken a brilliant push and ran with it full steam ahead. Can't wait for him to cash in. |

Pretty self explanatory.
Ever since the shit with Cena & leaving Morrison, he's gotten SO much better, but I'm sure you all agree with me. He's only going to get better. GO |

The Miz is the Future of the WWE
So when are they going to turn him face so that the entire internet can start hating him in unison and decrying how, "I used to love the evil Miz gimmick but, he's so boring as a superman baby-face!"
Seriously though, I don't care. He deserves his fame and fortune. Hope he goes far. It's time to make TPWW MEAT again! Quote:

Yes please. Go for it as i feel it pre-dated these two threads and wasn't getting so much attention anyway. That's what I get for not trying to spoil stuff for people straight after MITB!
