I remember “The Miz” from his days as a Real World star on MTV. The guy was tall but scrawny back then, and when he came into the WWE with his Miz gimmick intact, I was skeptical. But as a comedy character, he’s grown on me.

While it’ll be a while before The Miz has the mic skills to go toe-to-toe with John Cena, I do find his promos somewhat entertaining these days, though he’s taken far less seriously than a life insurance quote.

Still, his new gimmick of coming out every week to call out John Cena, only to be ignored and have The Miz claim a victory over him is a smart, nicely-thought-out gimmick that hopefully WWE has the patience to play out for a nice long while before bringing on the inevitable payoff of having Cena appear and destroy him. The longer it takes to get to that moment, the better.
