The Miz loving rules. As lovely as that Mania he headlined was his promo video before hand is one of the greatest of all times and the dude very clearly ADORES the business. He's also an outstanding heel.

Absolutely serious here, give the dude another decent length title run and let him being a gigantic piece of poo poo heel that we all desperately need.

That was such an awesome promo.

What makes that a truly phenomenal heel promo is that Miz is absolutely, 100% right, because Bryan's excuse (in character) is not that his health won't let him wrestle, it's that WWE won't let him wrestle, but at the same time he's being the biggest rear end in a top hat in the world.

The Miz is going to have a long career. He will be putting people over like Jericho when he's in his 40s.

I am massively hyped for a match that won't happen. Cool of Bryan to put his mentor The Miz over like this.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
He's a pretty boring wrestler.

Like Mark Henry for a long time was great on the stick but I never wanted to watch him wrestle because he wasn't entertaining until they started the Hall of Pain run (maaaybe his ECW run right before that).

Miz, same thing. He is a good talkmans but bad wrestlemans because you couldn't ever name one opponent for him that would be a match I would want to leave my house to go see. This has always been his problem and he's had a lot of time to address it, but instead he does what he does. And that's fine, I hope he gets paid a long time, but that doesn't mean he's not a big yawn bomb in the ring.

Solomonster did an interview with Miz before SummerSlam, and he got pretty worked up when he was asked if it bothered him that the I.C. title wasn't held up to the standards that it was before. I kind of feel like he's legit frustrated with his position, but I really hope his rant against DB was all a work, because... drat. gently caress him if it was real.

Maybe they didn't fill her in about the full beats of the worked shoot and the walk off. It seemed like the producers ended the show early, too.

Normally I would absolutely agree with you on this, butin this one specific case you can't do that promo on tv. Miz's entire point is that he wasn't a featured guy on the show this week, you do the promo on tv and right away everything become disingenious because he's a guy cutting the promo on tv and is thus a featured guy. They can air that promo again or at least clips of it as much they want to on tv later on, but that first time had to be done like that.

Plus if you're trying to make talking smack an actual thing you have to have something actual happen on it to draw people in watching the dumb thing. It's not like they're wacking the whole thing up on youtube for free.

Basically somehow WWE has managed to take ReAction and actually make it good. I'm shocked.

I mean, Bryan was being a cock there. Miz had a really loving valid point and Bryan started it by calling him a cowardly wrestler.

Mostly kidding. This thing will get passed around wreddit and wherever else wrestling fans who spend money and talk about wwe gather

The part of Talking Smack that nobody is going to talk about because of this which was also good, though, was Bryan asking the Usos why nobody likes them anymore and they suggested it was because of their association with Roman Reigns

Miz has also been having some pretty good to great matches this year. Like he's on the quiet become a pretty solid hand, and while he's had great guys to work with, he's been holding his own.

It's a little different when they call their entire style cowardly. That isn't a heel thing, it's a thinly veiled "your wrestling looks fake" which I can understand being upset about.

That was a loving money promo. If Miz and Bryan were building to a match and he cut that promo on the go home show I would have bought the Network to see it.

Also everyone else on that set sold it perfectly. Great work by everyone but that might be promo of the year for me.

saying the historic heel (who uses every other promo to put over his non-wrestling career)works cowardly is a legit kayfabe attack. Miz flipping out that hard is the logical response.

If they did this right it would lead to Bryan stacking the odds against Miz in weird lopsided bookings and him still winning. Get ready for my fantasy booked Miz turn boyzzz!
