Here's some other things that were happening in the world the last time Miz was champ

Daniel Bryan was hired and went to NXT with The Miz as his pro, got fired for choking Justin Roberts, came back at Summerslam, became a main eventer, won the WWE title at Wrestlemania, retired, became a GM, un-retired from wrestling, and then won the WWE title at Wrestlemania again since the last time The Miz won the title.

The Shield didn't even exist the last time The Miz won the title.

Do Bray and Randy really like working together or something? It's impressive how long they've been linked and what a wonderful symphony of awful angles and poo poo matches they've been able to compose together over the years. Never getting complacent, always getting worse in new and exciting ways.

They didn’t even give Mania bonuses or royalties to the wrestlers on the WM pre-show. Those SD wrestlers aren’t getting poo poo.

Per his book, Holly says the powerbomb was just mistiming and not jumping at the right time. Denies doing it on purpose as he was well aware what his role was in that match (to get his rear end kicked) and also it's a dangerous move. He had to get neck surgery after that match. They also got their time cut from 15 to 8 minutes right before they went out and had to rush through poo poo.

Yeah but what you didn't see was him trying the same spot three times, halting midway through, moving the chair a bit, walking back to his start spot, then repeating. All the while his opponent is lying there pretending to be so knocked out Sabu can botch his spot for five minutes.

I was never a Sabu fan.

I'm glad I didn't have to see this stuff, I just waited for Paul Heyman to edit 20 matches worth of footage down to a usable 2 minute misirlou montage

If Sabu smokes drugs like he wrestles, it'll be 25 minutes of him setting up an elaborate smoking rig, it falling over, him going back to set it up again, him getting it on his lips, it falling over, him setting it up again etc.

25 minutes later he finally takes a drag and then everyone pretends he's the best drug smoker of all time.

yeah but after I smoke the J, I'll just remember the edited highlights and misirlou in the background so it's fine

I once saw MVP have to set it up and then hop on one leg like three times to get in position for the hard camera.

I think 5 wrestlers in SD vs RAW 2006 had it as a finisher including Mr. Randy Orton

I find it very funny someone as PR savvy as The Rock didn't even wait a millisecond to see the reaction to Rogan's "apology," just couldn't wait to post and talk about how much he loves Joe. But perhaps The Rock just lives in the future and is always ahead of the curve, he knew Osama was dead before anyone else.
