Seriously, every time the Miz tries to be threatening, somethings just off. Now, some people would just brush it off as Miz not looking or being a tough guy, based on either his build or his reality past, but I don't think thats it.
The truth is, the guy just has this huge "Sexual Assault" aura about him every time he tries to get mean on someone. Not to make light of that stuff because it is serious, but I don't think thats exactly what Miz/WWE are going for, but sure enough, thats what it comes off like every single time.

When you mention that second point, I just think to that extremely awkward beatdown Miz did on Cena last year.

He's not naturally intimidating in any way whatsoever and his attempts are really bad "I'm scary!! Be scared now!" attempts that, as you say, come off more like he wants to diddle R-Truth than end his career.
He's a chickenshit heel if there ever was one, yet they refuse to just run with it.

I'm generally fine with Miz, but yeah, he seemed like a total pussy while bitch slapping Punk in the corner.

The fact I know exactly what beatdown you are referring to despite that being vague as hell means that Miz would totally be perfect for a "creepy guy in a van" gimmick if that wasn't disgusting enough to get people to change channels(to be honest, I'd probably change channels).

You said it better than I ever could. He's Honky Tonk Man, not HHH circa 2000. BTW, does anyone have a picture of Punk mocking Miz's "Serious face"?

They're completely going the wrong route with trying to make him all Vance Archer Intense and whatnot.
Seriously, if they want to piss the audience off the most, just have him regress in mannerisms to 2006-2007ish. He can keep the trunks, just maybe run through an Ed Hardy filter or overly embroidered like his shorts. Just enough to piss us off but not enough to make him look less believably main eventish.
I'm undecided on the fedora.

I never thought I'd say this, Randy Orton is more entertaining than The Miz.

Didn't really mean it to bash the guy.
His anger just comes off a bit creepy. It'd be one thing if he just sucked at it, but its just creepy.

Miz would be much better as a bombastic loudmouth. I know That because he was before he tried to look legit by copying Jericho and every other recent heel.
His stuff from the last few years has been terrible. He's the hardest guy to watch simply because he can't push anything he's trying to sell in his character.

I told someone on Twitter that Miz looked like that kid villain from Robocop 2 all grown up more than Howard The Duck.

Howard The Duck certainly does look more menacing than The Miz.

So you'd want Miz to have Johnny Curtis' gimmick on NXT then?

Now that you mention it, yeah I was laughing at that whole exchange as well; which can't have been what he was going for.
