Delusional heels are nothing new, but is Miz actually kayfabe considered to be a movie star? When he mentioned his audition for Spielberg, the commentators didn't laugh or make a joke about it later, and Jericho didn't say anything either. And then all of that (endless) talk about his face being the moneymaker...
Delusional heel or actual movie star?

Is Del Rio really supposed to be a millionaire?
Did the Usos really win a Grammy?
Were those security guards Ambrose put on blast really Rosebuds the week prior?

If anything because the first one...yeah we're supposed to believe that. To answer OP, I don't know. They've made light of him calling himself a star. But he stars in WWE movies which they're supposed to take seriously. So I guess when he makes claims like meeting with Speilberg, they ignore it to not make their own movies look stupid? I don't know. You've probably thought about it more than them. |

You have to keep in mind, Jericho was focused on other things, and the commentators are idiots.

It's much like Hollywood Hogan, bragging about all the movies he's in, despite almost all of them being terrible TV movies or straight to DVD. Work the gimmick.

Well... he's been in a number of movies, he's starred in most of them and he's awesome. So... according to my math. 33 1/3% Movies + 33 1/3% Star + 33 1/3% Awesome + 33 1/3% Wrestled Chavo = 333 1/3% Chance of being a kayfabe Movie Star  The Steiner math don't lie. Heh. |

For some reason...and I don't know why, I think there's supposed to be some nuance with it. We're supposed to see him as a legitimate movie star, but one who obviously has delusions of grandeur. We're supposed to see him as somebody who's moderately successful and moderately talented--legitimately something of a star. However, he thinks he's an A-lister on the level of Tom Cruise and he's not. As an audience, we're supposed to realize this while simultaneously be impressed by him to some degree.

I've always taken it as he's a guy that has had some success in Hollywood but he's let it go to his head and hypes up his own accomplishments WAY too much by saying he's an A-List celebrity when he's really a small fish in the big pond.

He's the Johnny Cage of WWE. Nah, Johnny had SOME humility and nobility. Plus that would make Maryse into Sonya, and besides hair color that just doesn't work. |

I think the point is that he's just another annoying Hollywood type...
The heat isn't in the fact he doesn't have accomplishments in the movie biz, but in the fact he wont shut up about them
You guys put too much thought into wrestling angles sometimes.
