It was a really lame burn, but Miz just committed to his "OOOOO" so much that I had to give him some props. This. It was so bad, it was good. Whatever happened to so good it's great? Way too much trying to appeal to the "so bad it's good" thing these days, and it's a cop out.

I thought Miz was trying way too hard and it showed. He wasn't very natural and that 'burn' was terrible.
I honestly can't see a time when face Miz won't be annoying. He could prove me wrong though.

I don't think that was really meant as a burn. Punk fired a juvenile insult, "Ask me if Miz sucks." so Miz simply gave back what he got with an equally juvenile one.
That was the story of the segment to me, Punk's trying to drag Miz into a shoot-off, trying to rile him, and Miz wouldn't go there. Miz simply remained calm, almost bored with Punk's antics, wanting to get the answer to the question.
It made him look good in my view actually, here's the "Best in the World" and longest reigning champ in forever, taking time out to hurl insults at a guy who many people say suck and isn't at his level. Punk looks small doing that, and the Miz looks bigger for pretty much ignoring it all and sticking to his word about just being after the answer.
Segment was still lousy, mostly because the ending was obvious from jump street. That was what really what bothered me about it rather than anything else.

By the way,isn't it pretty much official now that Miz and Punk have nuclear heatz?
Not that it wasn't before,but Heyman's ''behind the scenes'' line pretty much made it clear.

I thought it was boring because Miz did NOT get riled up. Wrestling promos aren't about maintaining your cool. It's about controlled chaos on the mic.

Best I can tell, Punk hates Miz and Miz...eh, isn't terribly bothered. Or at least isn't trashing him publicly about it. He just didn't look like he cared AT ALL in that lie detector thing. I imagine when you've been tormented by JBL and Benoit earlier in your career, Punk making a lame wrestling school joke ain't getting under the skin.

Somebody else on the forum said this, but it was so accurate, I'll use it here: people want The Miz to act like he does when he's a heel, except they just want him to face other heels instead of faces. Miz has been so good lately yet that segment was trash.

When you resort to a momma joke, that means you pretty much got your ass kicked in a verbal confrontation. Miz should've just asked Punk "are you done?" if he wanted to get it across that he didn't care what Punk had to say. The momma joke indicated otherwise.

The verbal beating Punk gave to Miz was so bad, that maybe Punk should have let up and shouldn't have buried Miz so badly. I think after that, then maybe they should either get rid of Miz or shoot him right down the card.

Miz should've just asked Punk "are you done?" if he wanted to get it across that he didn't care what Punk had to say. The momma joke indicated otherwise. Those were my thoughts, as well. Miz would have been better off if he'd just said "You mad, bro?". Even though I hate that line, at least it isn't a Yo Mama crack.

Miz already got bumped down to IC Title level after having already been WWE Champion. How much further down can he be (realistically) depushed?

From the sounds of it, either the net shows or the unemployment line, and even then, there'd probably be critique of him "taking the spot from someone more talented." *shrug*

A well placed 'Your Mum' joke never fails.
Wrestling is inherently adolescent so embracing that and going the 'Your Mum' route is always welcome.

Punk's remarks were not scathing. In fact, they were pretty corny too.
Best talker in the business...or so we're told...and he's making jokes about wrestling school? To a guy who has heard it all before? Not exactly original. I was expecting him to come up with something really good, and instead he just came out with the most predictable thing possible.
Also, I dispute his claim that everyone came out of WrestleMania 27 talking about him and Orton.
