Yeah, the response wasn't overwhelming, but it wasn't dead silence either. The whole thing wasn't too badly executed. Miz wasn't squashed or even in the midst of the STF or AA when the match was stopped. They're in a pretty good position to go somewhere after Judgement Day as well. Agreed. He came out looking strong, especially early on. "Look at ME!" I know this was supposed to make Cena look tough, but it kind of made it seem like it was his own damn fault. Couldn't stay home, couldn't pay attention to his match, am I supposed to feel sorry for the guy? And the segment wasn't as dead as it was made out to be. The crowd, if nothing else, was hot for Cena's entrance. Besides, what are they supposed to do? Cheer the face getting beat up? Quiet is okay for heel wins, considering booing in this day and age is a rare reaction for a match. Silence is okay? Well gee I guess that explains why Shelton Benjamin is still getting pushed.

I thought they did a good job of making Miz still look good while pushing Cena as well.
The booking on RAW as far as making people look strong has been really good as of late.

...this is entertaining wrestling? A guy running around like a five year old talking about how someone else is afraid of him? Can't wait to see the Hall of Fame class from this generation of wrestling. What a group that will be.

Can't wait to see the Hall of Fame class from this generation of wrestling. What a group that will be. Introducing the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2032. The Miz: "I was THREE AND O VERSUS JOOOOHN CENA! I...was...AAAAWWWEESSSOOOMMMEE!" Zack Ryder: "I was one half of the youngest World Tag Team Champions....EVER! Well that is until the Levesque kids became the youngest and first ever women to be Tag Team Champions. But, they never hung out with Edge! WOO WOO WOO YOU KNOW IT!"

John is always going to get heat. Just mentioning him will get a big pop. The only other person who can get a name-drop reaction on a consistent basis is Undertaker. Even HHH isn't on that level anymore.
So, saying that the segment "wasn't completely dead" when it involved John Cena isn't gonna cut it, as he is John Cena and he is beyond good and evil.
The entire point was to get The Miz over with the crowd, and despite their efforts, this did not happen. So, besides being boring and stunted, this segment failed in it's true goal, and can be officially labeled a FLOP.

So, I guess nobody heard the crowd booing Miz as he claimed his third victory, then? I did. Seriously, the thread just makes me laugh because it seems like the people cheering Cena are ignorant of the fact Miz is actually getting a push, and the crowd's reacting to him. It's happening. Deal with it. And yes, I'll say it, be jealous.

The crowd no-sold him when he came out, they no-sold him during the match, and they no-sold him after the match as well. And this is all against John Cena. You know, the guy who made a feud with Kevin Federline credible? I will say it though, I am kinda jealous. I wish my neighborhood was half as quiet as that crowd was for Miz last night.

To be fair the segment showed that Miz knows a suplex or two. Wow.

To be perfectly honest, I'm happy if any young talent is actually given a chance to showcase their skills and get some solid time with a main eventer on a show. Whether it be Miz, Swagger, Kendrick, Morrison, Kofi, Punk etc.
And I sure as hell would prefer giving those types of programs an actual chance to develop for a couple of weeks, and allow the people to get into them rather than dropping them if they're not getting huge heat from the start.
