Re: When did Miz get so good?
Miz is an excellent heel, plain and simple. Whether you like the guy or not is irrelevant. He's a heat magnet, and he knows how to get the crowd to rally against him.
Pay close attention, kiddies - Anybody who can work a mic and get the crowd to react to them will always, ALWAYS have a place in this business. And Miz is a prime example of that. No, his matches aren't the best. His repertoire isn't overly exciting, extreme, or versatile. But it's effective, and it emphasizes the heat he gets with his mic work. At the end of the day, that's really all that matters.
That being said, his in-ring work isn't NEARLY as dreadful as a lot of you make it sound. The guy's an average worker, sure, but he's not terrible by any means. He can bump, sell, and generally do everything needed in a match.
I still hate his finisher though. The knee lift isn't bad for a set-up, but it often comes across as weak. I wish he'd drop the "Reality Check" down to a signature move & start using something else as a finisher.
