I think Sandow, Riley, and even Titus should be booked somewhat credible at times. If they need someone to be a full on stooge, they should throw in either Slater or Ryder.

I distinctly remember when he first back, all people here could talk about was how he's been doomed and fails to get any reaction.
I still think he's going to need so much work if they ever turn him face again. But this may just be one case where 'wait and see' actually applies.

I was never a Maryse fan but she'd be perfect as part of his posse

The gimmick is pretty good. Definitely the best Miz has been in years. But, I don't think it's anything special yet. The addition of Sandow the stunt double is a huge step in the right direction though.

I want Miz to force Sandow to shave the beard and get his hair done like his so Damien looks more like him, thus setting up a future face turn where Sandow gets sick of his crap and teaches him a lesson.

It's great because it's got him as the cocky heel. Miz should never be ANYTHING but the cocky heel.

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. For some guys, "themself" isn't actually anything that translates interestingly on stage. Some guys do well with a more colourful character they can show off their charisma with, where their natural state isn't too good. If it makes Miz interesting, as opposed to the boring "kind of serious but also jokey" dude we've seen flounder for years, I can get behind it. There's nothing backwards about giving a guy material he can work with.

I only fear this will prevent Tyler Breeze from sniffing the main roster any time soon.
Otherwise, this is the perfect spot for him. Sandow is a weird choice for his lackey, but when I saw the makeup artist, I thought that was brilliant.

If Miz gets hit in the face does he turn red and then take/deal more damage like Narcis Prince?

I just wish they could find a way to make him more interesting without giving him a "wrestling occupation" gimmick.

Surely the only answer for a proper Miz look-a-like is Vader's son? The one who teamed with Corey Graves in FCW/early days of NXT. Yeah, Jake Carter would have been perfect. He's a legit clone of The Miz and he could lose every match and it doesn't matter.

I will pay every dollar I have if at one point Miz faces Rusev in a Falls Count Anywhere where at the start of the match Miz does a split and hits a low blow on Rusev after Rusev breaks his glasses. Miz runs to the top of the HD Tron, Rusev follows and gets kicked off the edge but hangs on, Miz says, "This is the part where you fall down" and stomps his hand.
Few months later Miz gets his neck broken by Brock while trying to protect Maryse who later becomes the vallet for Big E.
Bonus points if anyone gets those references

Sandow being with him is decent. The gimmick itself, meh.

Obviously I've already been a big Miz fan, but this is the best he's been since Awesome Truth split up. He needs to start wearing tackier colors to go with the gimmick.

Honestly, I'd have him win back the IC belt, and never wear it. Have a gopher carrying it around, holding it up, backstage he can be seen polishing it etc. The Miz should be too big a star to carry his own things. Also a stylist, after matches, he makes the announcer wait till he's had his hair fixed to announce he's the winner.

i was wondering if Maryse was going to be on her way back since Miz has mentioned a couple of times how "his wife will be at <event>".
best part for me is that at least Sandow has been able to stick with one gimmick now and actually last more than 1 move into a match without losing unlike before. also has the seeds set for a face turn when Sandow gets sick of getting beat up for the Miz while Miz reaps all the rewards type of storyline

If I had the choice I would have Tyler Breeze debut as a guy who is after Miz because lets say Miz "bought" his way into the movie business and all that Fame should've been Breezes. Like lets say Miz stealing the "Money Maker" thing was the icing on the cake for Tylers revenge. Have Tyler be planted in the crowd and have him interfere in a match while Miz is going for Skull Crushing Finale and boom a feud for Miz and a way for Tyler to be introduced on Main TV.
