Seriously, this is becoming the best gimmick on the show. Everything from his lavish outfits, to having his own stunt double in Damien Mizdow, and now his own makeup artist, I really appreciate how much effort is being put into this character. It's just a shame it feels all for naught with how quick they dropped the belt off him.

Its gonna take a while for him to regain some of the momentum from two years of dubious booking and awful character work, but yeah it is good to see Miz back in his natural element again. While it may not really be a main event gimmick I do wonder if his WWE title run would have worked better if he had stuck to this rather than the quasi-SRS mean frown guy they all too often tried to use him as.
Also its just good to see somebody living the gimmick again. WWE has made so many guys generic over the years, its such a breath of fresh air to see someone distinct again.

It's so gloriously over the top and cheesy, and Miz is making it work (plus, it's giving Sandow something to do). He doesn't need to go to the main event with it, but for what it is, I can't really hate this... even if it did end up killing the bromance between Miz and Cole.

It's been a while since I've enjoyed Miz. Feels like 2010.

Yeah Miz is knocking out of the park with this gimmick. The outfits are killing me.

I can't admit to being a fan of him, but this is exactly the kind of character that Miz should have always been booked as.

Miz has always been at his best playing an obnoxious, self-absorbed douchebag.
This is that to infinity. Perfect.

Imagine, giving a midcard wrestler some depth to his character and people would respond to that in a positive fashion?
Miz is being booked so well right now. It doesn't really matters if he wins or he loses, if he keeps getting to evolve. Sandow is playing his part perfectly as well. I hope they run with this for awhile.

Always been a Miz fan. If for nothing more than I thought he was hot.
Then he got boring.
Then he started wearing sunglasses, awesome outfits, and having that cocky swagger again.
Once again Miz is hot.

It's fun to watch, but It feels weird to see someone as established as Miz playing a "wacky cartoon character" gimmick. I've said this before, but Miz is at the point of his career where he's above "gimmicks" and can just "be himself" so it comes off as being a step backwards. The Hollywood movie star stuff, while Miz plays if amazingly, seems like a gimmick made for a new NXT call-up, not an established vet.

He's been crushing as of late, and everything with Miz and Mizdow has been ridiculous and fun. He and Bo Dallas feel like the only legitmately fun to watch characters on the show right now.

just hate the lack of continuity of the commentary team. Cole thinks Miz is full of himself, and JBL loves the guy.

It's a great gimmick. Honestly, he's the best heel on the roster because he's such a cock you can't wait to see him get beat up. He's so hateable. Great gimmick.

Sandow is also gold here. Him yelling "Action" before he went in was hysterical.

Yep, pretty much the only part of Raw I've enjoyed the last couple of weeks. This gimmick is the best.

He's actually getting reactions now, and he's being featured in a way that doesn't make people want to change the channel. Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth here. This gimmick is a godsend for the guy.

MiZ was always annoying
The gimmick is a way to accentuate his ability to annoy people
He is not above anything or larger than life
He's like nuevo rick martel.

I love it except for Sandow.
I think this is the one time where Alex Riley wrestling would make sense. Have them make-up or not even explain it and just let Riley job for him like good ol' times, they look enough alike anyways.
