The funny thing here is, Paul Bearer's character is that of a mortician (not a pall bearer as his name pun would suggest) and therefore the actual "undertaker".
It is also what the Undertaker's original name was when he debuted, "Kane, the Undertaker". The Kane part was obviously dropped very quickly.
Hilarious given his lisp. He can't say his own name without giving his opponents something to mock.
Or an arts and music festival. Or an illicit drug.
It sounds like he should be in a tag team with Val Venis.
It's obviously a shortened version of his last name, Mizanin, but that has never, ever been explained on WWE TV. So a random guy who calls himself the Miz with no explanation just... exists... somewhere. It would be awesome if he ever used the phrase "Nobody beats the MIZ" in his promos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAR6qGvxE8Y
A good move because you can actually cheer it. Dan-iel Bry-an!! *clap 5x*
Hated it at first, but it's one of those names like Big Boss Man or Triple H that after a while, you just get used to is and stop about thinking how silly it actually is.
