His promos have declined, but he's better than half of the roster. The crowd also seems to get into them.

Miz is pretty much "SRS Jericho Jr." Found a pretty good heel style, sticks with it, and it never evolves into something more fun and interesting.

I don't think that the Miz's promos declined - They are the same repetitive drivel that they've ever been, and CM Punk and R Truth have become so much better written and realized heels that it seems like the wool is finally lifting off the fans' eyes.

Have to disagree. There's a real difference in delivery, material, and character in Miz now and him 2/3 years ago.

I miss the crap out of 2008 ECW In-Crowd Headbanging Shorts Miz. He was so fun back then, and he was even better in the ring because he wasn't trying to work like a serious WWE heel, so he did a few more moves and had a lot more personality.

I was thinking that the other night, he sounded a bit shaky in his voice, and I realised how much better Punk is on the mic.

That's pretty much every heel....
Cody Rhodes: BLAH BLAH PAPER PAGS Del Rio: BLAH BLAH DESTINY R-Truth: BLAH BLAH LITTLE JIMMY CONSPIRACY Miz: BLAH BLAH REALLY!? REALLY!? I'M AWESOME! Christian: BLAH BLAH I CAN BEAT YOU RANDYYYYYYYYY!
Most of the heels not named Punk have regressed/become stagnant. At least Miz is still over with the crowd and get the people to react to him. He's not been great lately, but right now he's in no storylines. The Alex Riley thing has run dry and he's now in a blackhole of having no character. They really should just pair him with Maryse.
Also I don't know why people think he's regressed in the ring. He had a great match with Mysterio, Swagger and Riley a few weeks ago. He had a MOTY candidate with Morrison for the title on Raw. He also had a really good match with Cena a month or two back. A few years ago, most people whined every week about how this Real World jobber couldn't put on a decent hold.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he has gotten stuck in the RAW midcard again, and it is reflecting in his promo work.

He has the same talking points over and over.
You could predict word for word what he's going to say before he even says it.

Him being angry all the time doesn't really suit him either.

I don't know about getting worse, but the Miz is really getting stale on his promos.

Christian: BLAH BLAH I CAN BEAT YOU RANDYYYYYYYYY! I take exception to Cody Rhodes on that list. His promos are actually quite varied and he doesn't really have a catch phrase. Everyone else - yeah, but Rhodes has actually given us a lot of great promos recently.

I'll never see people's appeal on Miz's promos. He lost me the day his best comeback to the jeering Green Bay crowd was "Oh yeah? Well, the Packers aren't going to win the Super Bowl this year."
And then they did.

I didn't think they were that good anyway. Me neither. Really my favorite promo of his was from Summerslam 2010 saying about how everyone was begging for him to be on Team WWE. His promos have always been good enough for mid-card feuds but that's about it.

I'm glad someone else sees this, since around the end of Showmiz, when he started teaming with Jericho, his promos have gone from a highlight of the show to something I dread. His ringwork seems to have regressed, too.

I don't think they've gotten worse. He just says the same thing every week and it gets very monotonous.

See now I think he is doing just fine and is in a good spot right now. He's a whiny prick douche that you're not suppose to like. I think the "Really" thing is great, it gets the crowd into the promo or segment he's in. The guy makes sure to engage you. Give it some time ( I know waiting more than 30 seconds these days is just cenutty but in the coming months I think he'll bring more to the table. I said back in the Summer of 09 that by then end of 2010 he will be a World Champion, and he did it. I see a lot in this kid. I still believe he's gonna be a bigger face than heel.
