Is Miz the least physically gifted wrestler?

This isn't to say he's a bad wrestler, but he certainly was dealt a bad hand. He's not that strong, he's not fast and explosive, he doesn't have great coordination. I'd imagine if he was at an NFL combine he'd get the lowest scores.

That all being said he has been improving in the ring.

I have no idea who "Mix" is. If you meant the "Miz", then no. There's guys much worse then him.

I'm amazed one typo created multiple posts of people trying to be funny.

I think The Miz was dealt a bad hand, but he has overcome a lot and is a sound worker now. He is charismatic and, as history has shown, sometimes charisma is the greatest tool in a wrestlers arsenal, but he is also fluid and, apart from a brief horror spell a few years ago, is a safe worker as believable as the majority of the roster. Strength, speed, agility and many other things are all surface things that we see, and in my opinion things like strength and speed are used to mask a wrestlers poor ability (someone can be shown how strong they are but have little else to show for it, someone is quick and flies but does little else etc), so I think the fact that Miz has lasted this long and is still competitive and does have matches ranging from okay to great, he has at least the tools to work with.

The Miz I think is like Del Rio, he gets a lot of hate but broken down he's no worse than many others.

He's not great in ring or anything but he has what 99% of pro wrestlers thesedays don't have; the ability to cut a promo, the ability to play a gimmick beyond "generic happy to be here babyface #2228607 " and the will to actually play an unlikable heel rather than trying to be the cool heel like everyone else.

Again I never said he's bad in the ring. I think miz is a fine wrestler. But he's definitely the least talented in my mind. He's not a naturally gifted athlete whatsoever. Usually wrestlers as slow as him are a lot bigger and stronger. And guys that are built like him usually are more agile and can move more fluidly in the ring and even do high spots. But he can't do any of those things, he's not strong, explosive, fast, coordinated, nor agile. But that all being said he does perform fairly well now. He's come a long way since being schooled by Bryan in the US championship feud

Miz is not the best wrestler on the roster, but he is an average, which is more than enough if you got the rest of the package.
And with guys like Dallas, Wyatt and Konnor on the roster, you can´t be serious about his lack of "physical gifts"
To use your NFL analogy; If Miz scores lowest, then Wyatt wouldn´t even get a score, but does it matter if they can entertain? (just for the record, I don´t find Wyatt entertaining at all)

Again I'm not commenting on miz as far as being a total package. I think he's fine in the ring and on the mic. Just that he's not very physically gifted. Wyatt is far stronger than Miz and moves with the same crispness. Bo Dallas moves a little bit better too and I'd argue is stronger as well. I've never seen Konnor. I think Enzo amore can give Miz competition, he's also slow and weak

Bray Wyatt is one of the best physically imo, he can move well and hes a big scary looking motherfucker.

Can kind of agree with OP on Miz though as hes not big, strong OR fast which isnt a great combination (applies to ambrose too) but hes still fine in ring, plus nearly every midcarder has poor-average promo skills and boring characters whereas Miz is excellent at that.

Meh tonnes of guys aren't exceptional in any one category.

I don't think it's safe to assume that Miz cannot do any high risk moves etc, he wrestles to his heel gimmick and never does anything in the ring to pop the crowd. Not definite ofcourse but a possibility.

He is perfect for the role and card position he's in. Anything else and he'll look bad, but they've found just the right thing for him to do and he's great at it.
