How do you feel about it? Was it well timed? Will he do better as one?
Personally, I think it was a good move by the WWE, since it's obviously lacking Faces right now. And Miz is pretty awesome ('pun' intended) anyway, so I'm very happy with this.
Re: Backstage News On Why WWE Is Turning The Miz Babyface
Has done all he could do? Sure. If you count being the biggest bust on the entire roster. But I guess I am of the opinion there's more to entertainment in WWE than standardized but horribly delivered heel lines and charity work.
Miz is actually a great face. He's not exactly the best in the ring, and he's a small guy, so it makes him a huge underdog. He can be that loudmouth who talks all the shit he wants, but isn't afraid to get his ass kicked. He can just sell the heel's moves before making the big comeback.
The casual viewers, fans will be tuning in with him. His face turn has the same vibe as Eddie's face turn on 2005. We're not really sure if he's screwing with us or not. Even on the last day of Eddie's face run, we weren't entirely sure whether he'd stay face or not. He was just a newly established face. I expected the ending to the Batista-Eddie feud to be an eventual rogue face turn for Eddie, but he ended up as a face in the end. After that, you wouldn't really know if they'd turn him the next night or not. It was really nice to see a slow face turn and eventually the fans will be riding along with it. Not to mention, Miz does seem to have enough charisma to make the fans love him.
Re: Why Miz will get very over with this Face Turn
yeah i'm just afraid they'll eventually turn him into the typical baby-face and make him lose all the attributes he got over for the in the first place. People are excited for his face turn because they would love to see his annoying heel mic skills used as a face against the bad guys, but knowing WWE, they will not not keep any of his old attributes.
Re: Why Miz will get very over with this Face Turn
But in contrast of other face turns of Sheamus, Randy Orton and Punk, they're actually using his heel attributes as a unique way to turn him. Just watched SD and it seemed like they're giving him a storyline in which everyone dislikes him in the roster, quite like the storyline when Hardy returned after fucking his title match with Sting in TNA.

yeah, they did that for everyone. For Sheamus they made a storyline about his anger issues, they tried to show him 'improve' his anger issues. Similar thing with Orton. For Punk he just started getting face reactions so they were forced to turn him face. Miz, they're doing the 'everyone hates him' face turn, where he has to get on people's good side. The thing is, at the end of the storyline, when they do turn fully face, WWE makes them all the typical good-guy faces. They need to keep the heel characteristics that they got over for in the first place, at least some of them.
Did you even watch Raw? They had only just announced him as a team member of Foley's, the first little hint of a face turn, and the crowd gave him a massive cheer when he was selected.
Re: Backstage News On Why WWE Is Turning The Miz Babyface
Wrestling fans are like starving dogs, you throw them one rotten bone and they will love it as much as a delicacy.
I know that you are hungry for change, but damn don't accept any pitiful changes with huge smiles and Yes Yes Yes. This Yes Men behavior is what blocks any real changes in WWE.
Re: Why Miz will get very over with this Face Turn
I still having trouble deciding whether the guys that keep saying "The Miz face turn will be great", can't tell if this is one big insider troll joke or if they are actually serious.
I like how you know the reaction a turn will have on the fans. Didn't people say this about christian and jericho when they flip floped. What about cm punk now people don't really want to boo him they may boo something he does every know and then but fans really like him. I have no problem wit miz being a face but no one knows if he will get very over.
Re: Backstage News On Why WWE Is Turning The Miz Babyface
I have high hopes for Miz's face run. A lot of the time, especially recently, he's seemed like the 'playful' babyface that's only saying those things to get a rise from people, as opposed to a CM Punk who comes across as just a really awful person. He has an appeal about him that I think will go over really well.
Re: Backstage News On Why WWE Is Turning The Miz Babyface
yeh miz should still keep his heel like mannerism and by that i mean his cockiness. His face run should be good but i think they should keep him in the upper mid card instead of the main event
Quite interesting change for The Miz to be honest if he does turn face, but then again if this all just a swerve then I'm ok with it too. I've been pretty much so used to him being heel, but a face turn might freshen up his character..
He needs it. He's been up and down the card as a heel and has pretty much done all he can do. Let him run with the face act for a bit if anything (seems to be working pretty well so far) to give him something fresh.
I don't want to get ahead of myself and say that Miz will be the next big face or anything, but his performance at Survivor Series showed me that he'll fit in well as a face.
What do you guys think?
