I want cocky, loudmouth, annoying douchebag Miz like he was when him and Morrison first split, now the SRS Jericho clone.

It amazes me how they managed to completely drop the ball with him. The Summer/fall before he won the title he was booked as well as any heel in this day and age could hope to be.
Since then, it's been one dropped ball after another

I hope this means he wears black trunks and a WWE shirt to the ring, while beating the likes of Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder, Sin Cara and Great Khali via heel shenanigans. Maybe the announcers can play up his newfound aggression and he can leave the Figure 4 on after the bell to prove his aggression.

Our long national nightmare is over. Goddamn was Miz terrible as a face.
I mean he's terrible either way, but he was especially bad as a face.

Kofi damn well deserves it because as I recall, Miz turned face when he offered Kofi a handshake and Kofi's response was to dropkick him.

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. Maybe Miz can throw on a black scarf and team up with Del Rio as Awesome Aggression.

^A tag team really could've saved Miz's face run. I would've liked to see Miz and Dolph as a team. Or to see Miz and Riley get back together as a face duo. Or to see Miz and Bryan align together to take on the authority.

Long overdue. Now he needs a haircut. I think Miz should grow his hair really long, and maybe a beard or mustache too.

I'm still waiting for the photoshop thread for the Miz face.

I miss face Miz already. I liked rooting for the guy. He could have a baby kicking gimmick, I'd still root for him as a heel, you should too. Now I just hope he takes Orton's place.

His face run really wasn't as awful as people make it up to be,especially in the beginning. He was getting solid reactions but eventually they starting dragging him out in pointless matches and wouldn't adapt him to a proper storyline anymore and eventually,people started losing interest. They weren't booing him to death or anything,the negative heat he got wasn't even close to Cena's. Even in this last period he kept getting cheers,just some negative reactions here and there.
Chicago is a great example. At MITB 11,they marked out for the guy and even boo'd Mysterio when he prevented Miz from getting to the case. Though,if I'm remembering correctly,in the latest show that took place in Chicago their reaction wasn't exactly positive. Miz,on behalf of himself,did everyhing he possibly could. It was the WWE that f***ed things up. He didn't even need to be close to a title,just give him a proper storyline rather than making him Mr.Pre-Show and having him host MizTV.
What I'm trying to say is,he COULD've been a good face,they just didn't let him. I really think the ''he's too unlikable'' arguement is being exaggerated. Sure he's a dick and doesn't necesarrily have the best face expressions but for the general part of his face run that didn't seem like the case,at all. Just these last couple of weeks.
Face or heel,either way I still have hope about what they'll do with him,I guess. But this is pretty much the last shot. Either he joins the authority,or feuds with Cena over the WHC. Other than those,wherever direction he's heading he'll probably be in the mid-card forever and ever. Not that that's a bad thing,but I want him to occasionally shake the main event scene.
And as mentioned,he was getting even better in the ring too. In fact,the only bad match he had as a face that I can recall was his match with Otunga and well,that was pretty much Otunga's fault. Hope this turn doesn't limit him in the ring.

The randomness of such has left The Miz's character in a corner. He's got to be part The Authority. There's no justifiable return from this, just as there was no justifiable reason to turn him heel.

I would say having the audience cheer anytime a heel beats the f*** out of him is a pretty justifiable reason. When the WWE Universe encourages harm to come to him, why should he bother to try to entertain them?

His niceness came across as forced where as his douchebagness feels as natural as daylight. He has the second most punchable face outside of Heath Slater and really should be a heel. One day he could probably pull of the face thing but it just wasn't working this time around IMO.

...because that's his job? Your job as a wrestler is to entertain. Who cares how? Again, Jericho has always said it's much easier to play a heel. At the end of the day, however, as long as you get a crowd reaction --as much as a wrestler gets upset personally-- that's all that matters. Which, ironically to my statement, is probably why they turned him.

I remember when Miz finally got his revenge match against Orton on Smackdown after Randy Pillmanized his throat, the crowd was cheering for Randy to punish him some more during their bout.

See I don't see it like that at all. A wrestlers job is to win matches and titles. In doing that you get main event billing and get paid more for your work, if you happen to be entertaining whilst doing that so be it but actively trying to be entertaining over winning hurts your career, if the people you hurt your career for don't even appreciate it, f*** 'em.
