Miz winning the ME of Wrestlemania?

Was The Miz winning the main event of Wrestlemania against John Cena one of Vinnie Mac and WWE's greatest blunders in recent years? Obviously this guy should never have main evented the show in the first place, he's f*cking embarrassing, if ever there was a "Sports Entertainer" this guy is it. I'm no Cena fan, but Cena should definitely have won this, nobody took seriously or even cared that the Miz won, Cena won back the belt a month later and now where is Miz? Back with a mid card title, looking back at this match makes me sick, I can't see any reason for why Cena shouldn't have gone over here and given a nice ending to the show. It's really a shame JBL didn't succeed in forcing Miz out of wrestling.

I'm a throw a wild guess out here, but you don't like Moz a lot, do you?

You sound butt hurt about Moz winning the main event of WM and finishing the show with a concussion.
The Miz worked his ass off and probably deserved a WM main event win for the effort he put in to make himself in the WWE. In the midst of history it will be remembered as probably the worst main event of all time, but he did deserve his time in the lime light.
Miz won one of the worst main event matches ever in one of the worst Mania's ever. If he won under better circumstances it would have made the show better. I hated that Mania. The match was so awful and to end the show they have Rock standing tall over the champ, when does that ever happen.

The Streak match should have ended the show but i guess they wanted Rock to end the show. Hell having him Rock Bottom taker could have caused a huge amount of buzz cuz the Rock hasnt done it all. Rock vs Taker for Mania 29 could have been built from that mania.

Oh and to answer the question no it wasnt Vince's biggest blunder. That end just made a bad mania worse. And who is really gonna remember Miz winning the ME of Mania.
Who cares what the guy deserved, the people who bought Wrestlemania deserved better than that, a mid carder for life beat Cena in the main event, Cena losing a title match like that should be reserved for someone who can acually headline
Everyone respects The Miz for his hard work but the main event of Wrestlemania should involve people who are great workers and/or have great in-ring skills. We know that The Miz doesn't exactly excel in that department so having him in the main event wasn't the best idea.
You are absolutely wrong, Miz deserved to be in that match, he deserved to main event at that time. It's just a shame that the feud and match revolved around setting up Rock vs Cena for WM28. Miz became an afterthought, which sucks.

The feud could have been a lot better too, they didn't even bring up the fact that they had feud in 2009, and it was a loss to Cena that had Miz change the course of his career, he changed his look, his attitude and went on to become AWESOME!!

Up until that point Cena had never lost a one on one match at Wrestlemania, I was glad he lost, and Miz won, just not under those circumstances, the restarting of the match, Rock helping Miz, felt tainted. Then of course Rock stealing Miz's spotlight after the match and becoming the lasting image of WM27.

Don't be so shallow, in my comments I didn't say Miz was a credible challenger to Cena. Hence why it will be remembered as the worst main event ever. For the sheer effort the guy gave to transition himself from the real world to being a wrestler that is headlining Wrestlemania is something that is worth a compliment any day.
I wasn't a fan of Miz winning if only for the fact that it did absolutely squat for him on top of a horrible Wrestlemania main event. He beat Cena at Mania yes, but in hindsight it sure felt like it didn't mean much since Miz was an afterthought that entire feud leading up to the event and was effectively phased out of the ME by the summer of that year.
He should have never been in the main event of Wrestlemania, but the booking decision was actually the right one. It was the only significant reason Rock and Cena actually had for going at it the year after. Everything else was just insubstantial "I don't like you very much" fluff, but costing someone the main event of a Wrestlemania is a perfect reason to seek revenge.

They could have gone the "I'm a big star, you're a big star, let's do this" way, but it was clear from the get-go that they didn't want to go down that path.

Just because you try very hard at something does not mean you are good at it. WWE are a business, not a sympathetic 'prize for participation' soccer mum... thing.

Miz winning the MITB was the point of fuck up.

A lot of people have put more effort than The Miz and received nothing in return, he deserved praise for his hard work, but he didn't have to go ruining Mania's main event on everyone, and as bad as the match and show was, I think it would have been somewhat salvaged at the end with a Cena win.
If it makes you feel any better, even with Miz winning, he was just an afterthought the entire time. It was always about Cena/Rocky.
It was so ridiculous that Miz won the WWE title and main eventer Wrestlmania. I remember years ago when Edge won the WWE Championship for the first time with the Money in the Bank. They took the belt off him so early. Apparently because they thought he wasn't ready to main event Mania. Yet years later the Miz was ok doing.

As someone already said, Miz main evented one of the worst WM main events in one of the worst Wrestlmanias in history. Such a terrible choice, that and his crappy title reign which was just awful.
Miz winning was correct. It was an obvious set up for Rock Cena at 28. He was just a pawn, really.
Miz is ok to me, but Miz winning the Main-Event was one of the worse decisions in the last 10 years. Hell, he shouldn't even have been the WWE champ heading into Mania but I guess they had no one else to face Cena.

In reference to the match setting up Cena/Rock, Rock could of gave him the Rock Bottom after the match. This is probably one of the only situations where I actually wanted Cena to win since 2005.

Miz winning may have been to set up Cena/Rock, but after the match was made official they didn't mention it anymore.
Hell i don't think Cena even mentioned it in his promo on RAW the night after.

I liked Miz and was happy to see him win the title, but i didn't think he'd make it to WM and wanted Punk/Cena to happen after Punk in-ring return.
The only thing i was looking forward to was Punk/Orton (the match, hated the build-up) & The Rock, Punk/Orton was disappointing, Rhodes/Mysterio was really good and Taker/HHH was my MOTY till MITB.
He should have either dropped the title at WrestleMania or carried it for longer, if I could change on thing it would be for Summerslam that year to be held in Chicago, have Miz drop it at MITB to Cena and then start 'Summer of Punk' for Summerslam.

Where the hell you came from? Wrestlemania 27 past away almost two years ago and you still talking about that.
And I don't know why you have so much negativity against the miz, He's one of the best current in ring performers and mic workers. Also he did a tremendous job as a champion. His title reign was probably best in PG era years. So all haters shut up right now.
It was a big mistake to have him in the main event. The Moz is just not good enough for main eventing WRESTLEMANIA and as seen, he dropped down to the midcard instantly after losing the title.
