I sure hope R Truth isn't fed to Miz, but I'm sure that's where it's going to go. One of the things I've noticed about Miz, is how in a match he always seems to be on offense, I've never gotten this. It seems the guy is incapable of being able to sell a beating because I can't recall the last time he convincingly did anything more than take a few bumps. His offense is atrocious for a main eventer as is his psychology...glaring all the time doesn't make you look tough. Like a few others mentioned, he's just not convincing in that aspect (I still shutter at that WWE title tournament where he won two matched with an injured leg, ridiculous). I think the pinnacle of what I bought Miz as was the time where he and Morrison were ringing the bell and messing with Festus...that just came off as "you know, Miz looks like the kind of guy who would do that crap to someone". And he really should be. He seems like a nice guy in real life, but I absolutely loathe his character as anything beyond being smarmy wanna-be prep bully. And for the love of God...give him someone he can play off of...he sucks when he doesn't have someone there as a foil. Good post, there are some astute observations in there. I've been bashing Miz a lot lately, and it's unusual for me to go around bashing any wrestler as on a general level I have a lot of respect for wrestlers, but I just got sick of seeing people get accused of having some kind of irrational dislike for the Miz. Either that, or they'll get told that it's because he's such a good heel. It's like, if you like the Miz that's fine, but a lot of people have legitimate reasons why they don't care for the guy's work and that's why they don't like him. I don't like not caring about PPVs because I'm not interested in the main event program and that's the situation I was in with Miz in the main event. I've noticed more people starting to sour on Miz since he was paired with R-Truth, and I think it's because of how much more talent Truth has both in ring and on the mic. A lot of people probably expected Miz to kind of carry the team, but instead he always seemed like the lesser half.

I don't know about anyone else though, but the MOMENT he raps ANYTHING, and yes, I know he did as a heel, but I mean anything that's a rap with a face tone like his first gimmick, consider the crazy man gimmick dead. I seriously hope he does not rap ever again. Also, in regards to the What? chants, maybe he can go along with them and say "'s UP!" What? 's UP! That would get such an insane pop. Yeah, that's probably the only way face Truth would work and how he could stay crazy at the same time. It would also make for some sick backstage promos with Truth and Stone Cold!

He can still be a face while being the same character. Just dont ever acknowledge the crowd, and have him antagonise heels. I was thinking the same thing ever since Miz took him out.

Just saw this from rajah via observer:
So we got three heels: Del Rio, Miz, and Kane.
And possibly three faces: Punk, Cena, Truth.

The idea of a face Truth still depresses the hell out of me. I hate WWE Creative so much.

I feel like Truth's run as a heel still has some steam.

Only if he comes out in a Union uniform at some point.

Better wrestler, sure, but Miz has a lot better presence, is worlds better on the mic, and works his ass off outside of the ring. Those are the things that matter a lot more than in-ring work, and Miz is by no means anything close to terrible there. He's good at being a douchey upper-midcard guy, absolutely. However, he sucks at being a threatening badass and main-event wrestler. There's nothing wrong with being a solid, well-pushed midcard talent, but for some reason WWE is desperate to make him more at the expense of others. Miz is a Jeff Jarrett, not a Triple H. Honestly, I never liked the Jeff Jarrett comparison, just because Double J can work his ass off. A more apt comparison would be maybe Honky Tonk Man.
