He's one of the true legit great wrestling success stories. He went from "who is this f***ing reality show jagoff" to "he's a legit HOFer who I want to see succeed" in the best way possible.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

He was easily the MVP of the brand for those years. Nobody would have batted an eye if he won the title. Had KofiMania not happened, Face Miz taking down Bryan would have f***ing ruled I don't know how many people know or remember this, but they ran Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz as a dark match on the Smackdown/205 Live after Survivor Series 2018 when Bryan had just turned and Miz was turning face teaming with Shane McMahon. And even though the match was just a five minute nothing that ended in a DQ, what they did f***ing ruled. They completely swapped roles, and since Miz had spent the last few years poaching Bryan's moves like the "It Kicks," it was completely surreal to watch Miz getting a standing ovation and Yes chants using Bryan's offense on Bryan. And looking back, that could have been a killer Mania match had it been in the cards. Oh, I remember. And it was awesome (no pun intended)

Miz is an example of the quote from Futurama "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all", at least going by his ring work.
Seeing his stuff with Ciampa on Monday, and thinking HHH may not be as against them as Vince might have been, I think if he wants it post in-ring career Miz could be a good manager character.

Miz is gonna be 42 this year and despite his safe style, not sure how much longer his in-ring career will be. He could fit great as a manager, similar to how MVP transitioned to the manager role after his in-ring career slowed down.

I suspect he's more likely to transition into TV and movies, but I also think he's got a job for life in some capacity or another if he wants it.

I think he’s a phenomenal talker, excellent ambassador/PR guy for the company, but I’m not a huge fan of his ring work. It’s very rare that I actually look forward to a Miz match, it’s usually apathy on my part. But kudos to him on putting together an incredibly successful career, that dude is absolutely going into the HoF the second he retires.

Honestly I've been a huge fan and defender of him ever since The Dirt Sheet. Those promos were absolutely hilarious.
I remember when they broke up and be started feuding with Cena straight after and bring extremely pissed at how Cena buried him at the PPV (he even mimed kicking dirt over him after the match). I also adore his Hate-Me Mania 27 promo and am still salty his big moment was sabotaged by the Cena/Rock BS.
So glad he overcame everything.
