Pretty funny that he turned face on the go-home show for Survivor Series 2012 and turned heel on the go home show for Survivor Series 2013. And turned face to join a team with Kofi Kingston, turned heel while on a team with Kofi Kingston. So what you are saying is that Kofi is a magic portal between alignments?

I still say Miz should be in the role Orton is now.

Miz' character has always been the "I'll do anything for the spotlight" one, so that would fit really well. Plus I'd want that if only for the video packages we could get from Miz and Bryan alllll the way back from NXT.

Wouldn't that make for the most justified face turn by the Shield away from the authority if even they, hired mercenaries willing to do anything for the right amount of money, draw the line at watching Miz's back and/or teaming with him?

How would you really do that as a face though? He can't let it seem like the heel is getting to him by being overly-elaborate with his pay-backs as then it just makes it seem like he cares too much or is insecure. If he put's too little effort into it you get what we were given. The Fandango feud was perfect for Douchebag Face Miz and I wish we had gotten more of that guy. Mizco Inferno was great, as was the one-time Awesome Truth reunion. All being said, if this means we get a return of the pre-WWE Champion Miz character and a serious push, I can learn to accept it. Orton doesn't do anything for me as HHH's corporate puppet, and to be honest he's not getting the heel reactions he needs. Better to have Hunter double cross Orton and install Miz as the new face of WWE, have Orton feud with The Authority, and have Bryan dethrone Miz at Mania. Book 'Taker vs. Brock or Cena as the main event and the buyrate won't suffer.

When I started watching WWE again, Miz was the first person I took to and started liking. He was US champ, I believe, and had just won MitB. I loved him. I have HATED face Miz almost from the moment he turned. When I saw him pulling back his arm, I couldn't help but smile. Heel Miz is so much better and he was tailor made to be the Authority's Face of the WWE against Bryan. Too bad the heel turn came so late.

I've honestly wanted Coporate Asskisser Miz since Johnny Ace came on the scene. During the stuff with Punk, a Miz/Punk feud would have been a great feud. The only thing standing in the way of that was/is Punk and Miz's bad blood and how it's pretty much stopped them from having any prolonged interaction. Anyway, Miz would have been a good corporate choice back then, but things stopp that from happening.
If he was to do it now however, he'd have more ammo along with having a better rivalry in Bryan, their story goes back to the first season of NXT.

This greatly disappoints me.
I'm no fan of the Miz (obviously), but I absolutely LOATHE the way he wrestles as a heel. It's downright atrocious. He is in no way a ring general, yet they go out there and make him this arrogant, menacing heel who can kick people's asses, despite having some of the most limited moves on the roster. That might work for someone like Ryback, but Miz is barely 6'1, has a baby face (literally), and is undertoned for what you'd normally see in WWE.
I dread seeing "aggressive" Miz again. That was quite possibly one of the most pathetic attempts by WWE to ever keep kayfabe. Yeah, I totally buy THIS guy beating Kofi Kingston. Mmmmhmmm. Sure.

He didn't turn heel. Kingston is CARELESS and literally almost decapitated him. Was Miz supposed to be a punk and just be the guy's best friend all of a sudden? No. He waited for an opportunity and got his revenge. Sneaky? Yes. Cowardly? Maybe.
But Kofi never even said sorry...what a jerk!

Very good move on their part. His face run sucked all the life out of his character, and people still couldn't stand him anyway. Let the guy go back to doing what he's good at.

Face? Heel?
Does it really he has been stale for years,and after Del Rio is probably the undeservedly pushed modern WWE star.

And turned face to join a team with Kofi Kingston, turned heel while on a team with Kofi Kingston. More irony. Del Rio turned face alongside Miz, and he's also back to heel.

In a way, this turn is a shame, mainly because I feel he's got his ring work down pretty damn good as a face. Ever since Payback, I've quite enjoyed his work & his figure-4 is always a good way to get a pop; plus he applied it better than most have in their time.
The guy is a natural heel though. Even when I got behind him during his matches, I still sub-consciously hated him - maybe it's just his face, the fact he's banging Maryse, or that he's generally all-around annoying. I really hope he doesn't just go & join the Authority; he was beaten up by both Orton and Kane recently & belittled by Stephanie; it would really make little sense for him to go & join them.
I expect he might be next in line for Cena up until the Rumble. Got to give him someone to do until then.

Miz will be great as a heel again if he's booked to be a loudmouth jerk. I'm sick of seeing 'agressive' heels.

I have a feeling his days are numbered. If I were a betting man, I'd say he'll be released within 6 months to a year.

Miz and Del Rio could work as a team of overpushed guys who had to change alignments due to crowd reactions. Or you could just release them both.

If they want to get Miz over as a heel again, let him rub the fact that he's marrying Maryse in our faces.
