And yet it's the puppet that got him the push. Before the puppet, he was just a jobber. Actually before the puppet, he was a Tag Champion with Kozlov. And intercontinental champion as part of Glamarella

The only time Santino wasn't over was when he first debuted as a face, his stuff with Maria and Simmons started getting him cheers. Now, he's easily in the top 5 faces, whether you like him or not.

For me, it's definitely Santino. I like Miz just fine, but Santino is better.

Like them both, but I think Santino is the better of the two. He comes off as more natural on the mic and in the ring he's alright. I think he's better than Zack Ryder too.

I was never a Miz fan, so Santino

I like The Miz a lot, but goddamn it I love Santino.

It's hard to say, since Miz has his good points but I will say Santino because he's still over after all these years.

Never a fan of either. Until Santinos Rumble performance and recent title win, he was as unbearable as the Miz. The title run will be brief and Santino will go back to being as annoying as the Miz.

Miz, by a landslide. Santino's pretty dire. Last entertaining thing I can recall him doing was the Tea Party, and that was mostly because of Kozlov's incongruity in a suit and bowler. And I still don't understand why people think laying on the ground for 99% of the Elimination Chamber match was so amazing a performance.

Oh well.

Miz. He didn't need a puppet to get over. Santino was getting monster pops LONG before the cobra sock.

Santino. How soon we forget his amazing Honkameter run, his hilarious mini-feuds with Austin and Rey Mysterio, Glamarella, etc. He's got "it". Miz does not.

No you can't, Miz wrestled most of the match, even when he went under the ropes, he came back in and continued to wrestle. And did nothing significant during that time. 2 early eliminations and then a lot of kicks and punches and typical Miz stuff. Santino had 2 eliminations in the Chamber and was over as f*** with the crowd. Sorry, but for my money...I'll go with the guy who acts like he gives a damn. And that's Santino.

Can we be more specific and narrow this down?
"Who's better at (fill in the blank)."
If you're simply asking who we like better overall, I'll say Miz. If you're asking who's entertaining me more currently, I'll say Santino. If you're asking who's a better wrestler, doesn't Santino have some mad technical skills he never shows?

Miz, and it's not even close. I like his matches more, his promo material more; I just overall find him more entertaining than Santino. To be fair, Santino was funny at one time (the Honk-a-Meter, Glamarella), but for a couple of years, he's just been too much of a joke character. Comparatively speaking, for all the guff Zack Ryder gets for being a "joke character," I could easily buy him being United States champion for an extended period of time and having a serious feud or two. I can't say the same for Santino.

Santino has entertained me more than Miz ever has. Easily Santino. He may be a joke wrestler, but at least he isn't a total bore. This, more or less. There are times when I think I can see an honest-to-goodness main event star waiting to break out of Santino. For all I know, the US title is the beginning, but I'll stop before I get delusional.
