And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The wacky line and vintner memes are things that happened like once but they're so legendary everyone remembers them.

Imagine if Miz does end up in AEW, and makes tremendous improvements like Tay Conti did?

He'd probably work best as a manager or mouthpiece for a stable or tag team, who only occasionally wrestles in multi-man matches, TBH.

whenever miz leaves wwe is when he stops wrestling i have to imagine

not because no one would have him but because i think dude's heart and soul is legitimately completely all in on the place

the miz is lovely on purpose that was the point of his promo on danielson that for some reason people think was good i guess because he sounded really passionate about being a bad pro wrestler.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Miz trying to un-learn the WWE style would be like one of us trying to un-learn how to breathe. It's too ingrained in him, he's basically the perfect WWE wrestler at this point. My wife watches Dancing with the Stars and even on that he was 100% acting like a WWE face - smiling all the time and just being happy to be there.

Bryan Alvarez nailed it that The Miz is a great talker but a terrible promo. His delivery is excellent and impassioned but his words say absolutely gently caress all and never make you care about where he is going or who he is wrestling. Compare with Eddie Kingston.

Which isn't entirely his fault to be fair. The words are presumably scripted. The Miz might very well be a better promo when he is off-script like AEW.

He's a heel and believed he was in the right even if he wasn't, it was a perfect character moment delivered with passion. = good promo

The rant was what Alvarez was talking about. Everyone talks it up but go back and watch as Miz is passionately saying absolutely nothing. Its held up as his best but it accomplished nothing, lead to nothing, and didn't ultimately make you care other than "wow he can talk well".

I will halfassedly defend him and point out that it leading to anything seemed unlikely regardless of substance, as it's WWE

idk what kind of wrestling character says they have boring matches on purpose so they don't get injured so they can put in more dates for the boss

if i already don't want to watch him wrestle him telling me he's doing it on purpose makes me less likely to want to watch him wrestle. = a bad promo

Letting a wrestling school haze him and bump really does seem like the best way to talk him out of his dreams.

He was cutting a promo on a guy who couldn’t work, of course it was going nowhere. That said the dude clearly had more emotion and weight behind that promo than anything else he did in 20 years with the company. That’s not exactly his fault. In a good company they would take Miz’s ability on the mic and make it better.

I think the miz is one of several people in the wwe who could pull off matt cardona's current gimmick if they ever found themselves outside wwe and having to start working indies, but I don't think they're ever going to let him go and he feels like he'd retire if he ever got fired
