They Sure Bury The Miz A Lot

[romanstylesiii]

For a guy who takes crap and turns it into gold 90%

Took the IC record away from him when he was weeks away, kept him away from the world title despite being more over than most of the roster. Had him lose to a 50 year old man twice. He was the one who lost the tag belts. 

who did he piss off?

I don't think they're trying to bury Miz with this Shane stuff is the f***ed up thing; the sense I've always gotten is that in some demented way they see a feud with a McMahon as being a mark of care and confidence. That's what they do for people they like, the fact that it comes out so malformed and misaimed is more of a mark against how insanely skewed their priorities are and how bad they are at putting on a good show. Miz has been putting in great work, has his own spin-off, and does a ton of media work for the company, and his thanks for that is losing to Vince's son, who looks like a tomato man drawn up by someone who had a sexual awakening watching Violet Beauregarde turn into a blueberry.

When I watched him come out tonight I realized that I’ve always hated the guy.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

He is a babyface, so he is constantly losing because they think that's a push.

I'm so tied of his "YOU BEAT UP MY FATHER" thing. We get it. Jeez. You've got your ass kicked by Shane over and over. Do something else bruh.

I know some people love face Miz, but I just can't buy it, like at all.

I could barely buy him as a threatening heel, but at least the promos were good. Anything more than weasel chickenshit heel and he's out of his element.

I am not super into The Miz but, the fact that they continue to present Shane as a legit badass is another level of insanity that no one should be proud of.

Yeh I think the Miz is just okay.But that booking did him no favors.

Miz could work as a face, problem is that they insist on changing practically everything about a character if the character changes alignment. He should be the same shit talker, just have him do it to heels. He could use the "your mouth goes shut" line on them instead of the crowd. Small tweaks to a successful gimmick.

But yeah, this thing with Shane has been pretty rough since Miz's daddy issues came up while they were still a team. Miz has shown many times that he can elevate bad material but this just isn't clicking, and a major part of that is Shane being wholly unconvincing in his role.

[Dub H]

I say this is karma for the times he screwed over Ziggler and Ryder reigns

[sportatorium]

They are doing the same results as heel Miz & babyface Bryan. Building to a big payoff where Miz gets to beat Shane. Problem is, they are sucking the life out of anyone’s ability to care. Miz could be elevating some undercard guys as a babyface or turn heel again and get people over. This does nothing. We need to fast forward to their eventual last man standing match where Miz only wins because Shane tries a crazy spot and can’t get up. You know, protecting the 50 year old non-wrestler.

I’m always down for the Miz losing.

Don’t care how it happens.

This is one of the greatest sentences in the history of our sport.

.........well, he was an outsider when he first came in.

This is just what he gets, pal.

[Mozenrath]

Given Shane won by virtue of his shirt falling off, and how he's been made to run scared from Miz again and again unless he has an unfair advantage, that's not a bury job. That's like exiting RR 1999 and thinking "man, they sure buried Austin."

That being said, they seem to not be sure of if they want to present Shane as competent or a sniveling coward, like they're trying to marry the 2001 Shane to the 1999 Shane, and it's kind of a tonal mess.

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

Renee thinks he's BEING A MAN though! So that's good!

I guess "be a man" is some newfangled millennial slang for "act like a goddamn idiot?" Because that would be the only way that made sense.

Haha. Wow. Ditto. Some glass broke and i pieced together how I have skipped every segment or match he is in that doesn't feature someone i like opposite.

Also, him being a naruto nerd is oddly fitting. I feel the exact same towards that franchise as I do him, and I'm a bigger Shounen fan than I am wrestling fan.

They mistakenly believe that it builds sympathy for Miz, but in reality it makes him look like a chump who can't beat a part-timer.

The fans care more about these results than WWE thinks.

Nothing pisses Vince McMahon off like long-term, whole-hearted loyalty.
