I had given up on ADR when that boring Sheamus feud took every last bit of redeeming quality out of him as a heel. Didn't know how the face turn would even work, but it's workin' incredibly. He seems to be more into it, so I guess he was just as bored with his gimmick as everyone else was.
Strangely, I also thought the Miz's face turn would've helped him the same way. But it seems to me they waited about a year too long to do it and now it's only doing OK at best. I get the feeling they missed the boat on a Miz turn, and he'll probably be a heel again by the end of this year. It could've worked in 2011 when he was still a top star and had spent the last couple years steadily getting better. But all that came crashing in 2012 when he was jobbing to Brodus Clay in a minute and shyt like that... he fell off way too hard for his turn to fully work.
