So...Miz As A Face, Failure Right?

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Alvarez made a great point about the MizTV segments where he's standing there insulting guys like Rhodes and Sandow...why dont they just beat him up? Said Piper got away with insulting multiple guys at a time in the Pit because he had that reputation as a tough guy. Miz? Not so much. So it makes no sense why they wouldnt just kick his ass.

Might actually get him some simpy heat.

I tell you what, he's more believable as a face than a heel. There are some things he has to work out but overall dude is building up to being a decent face. He just needs more moments to get people behind him.

But last night.. they fukked it up by getting the Brooklyn Brawler to be the '3rd man'... . People just didn't give a fukk after that.

Alvarez is awesome and fukking hillarious. Hes 10x better than meltz though he bows down to meltzer on the regular

The bryan and vinny show usually sucks though

As much as I enjoy Ryder being in the bushes for the majority of 2012, he would have been the best choice as the third man to put over ADR/Miz as 100% face. Especially to those that are still unsure. Plus, there were no ramps for him to get thrown off either. Win/win for the Internet Champion.

Also would have made sense given the location of the PPV's proximity to LI. Then again, Brooklyn Brawler being a part of the 2nd to last match of a ppv is pure, unadulterated #fukkery

Miz just needs to be an anti-hero...by pushing so hard to be a face he comes off as corny

Reading this made me miss Piper's Pit, Jericho Highlight Reel, The Cutting Edge

That Cutting Edge when Edge put Foley through the table with a steel chair...the Highlight Reel when Jericho verbally ripped through Trish for benig a whore

True.

He shoulda gotten a few insults in, get the crowd laughing a bit, and have them jump him. Makes Cody and Sandow look stupid just taking his disses. Plus Miz could get some sympathy face reactions to further establish that he is not the bad guy anymore.

i haven't read any of the prior posts, but i always thought miz was synonymous with failure.

he's always been boring. he's never impressed me. he's a waste of tv time, money, merch.



:edit:

since i was slightly off topic, i was willing to deal with him as a heel. but everytime he says "really" or a "your mom" joke, i wanna piss on his shoes brehs.

I don't know about that... I mean sure Piper was legit tough... but his character was still a coward most of the time. Piper's Pit worked cause Piper was an a-hole who always had a smartass comment. Miz is no Piper but it's basically the same type of character. They prob. shoulda let him run with MizTV as a heel for a little while longer, so he could establish that style of hosting first, then it would be over once he turned face.

I don't even care about Miz as a face.

I just want to know what the story is behind Del Rio randomly turning face.

Sure, it would have made sense, but let us not forget that this is a guy that not only tried but SUCCEEDED in getting himself over on his own, without the WWE calling the shots.

His punishment must be more severe

You know he's desperate to get those pops when he's relying on cheap cheers via Brooklyn Brawler and Tommy Dreamer in their respective home towns.

I always thought the psychology behind Pipers pit was that Bob Orton was a legit badass as his bodyguard, which permitted Piper to run his mouth.

Anyway, Miz is a complete flop as a wrestler. He just doesnt have "it". They tried everything --- nothing has worked. Time to cut bait. Investing in him really set the company back.
