Is Miz in trouble?

[Jonathan Michaels]

Feels like maybe Hunter isn’t too high on him for some reason, why else stick him with this crap?

This storyline has made him look like crap for months now, near character assasination levels of bad.

Or is this Triple H testing just how bulletproof Miz really is?

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Even if you don't like the storyline (and there's plenty of reasons not to), Hunter is trusting Miz as the first feud of both Johnny Gargano and Dexter Lumis. I don't think that should be taken lightly, since they know embarrassing Miz week after week just works.

Yeah.

He's getting the first feud for Johnny and Dexter, and he's still getting a lot of time on television. Triple H trusts him, Miz ain't in trouble.

As long as there’s a grocery store that needs that little extra push for a grand opening the Miz will have a job. HHH been f***ing with the Miz for years. lol

[DichEvans]

i think Hunter is just giving him the responsibility of helping establish new characters. While he's not winning, if you look at TV time average, he's likely top 3 on the entire roster every week.

Nope he is exactly where he should be.

That bridge guy who can be tossed out to do an obsurd story for guys on their way up the card , doubley so for new guys being introd onto the main roster.

Still, you gotta throw those guys a nice thing every now and then, and it feels like Miz hasn’t had a nice day since Mania.

His nice thing was getting a Thank You title reign last year. Now, he’s a two-time world champion that helps bring along new talents. Nothing wrong with that.

You don’t ever want to Foley anyone again, though.

Foley kept putting everyone else over so much it took away his ability to give a rub.

One big win every two years ain’t cutting it.

I don't know why you would think that.

I mean outside of that brief joke title run, Miz has been booked as a joke for most of the past decade. Hunter doing the same is really status quo.

HHH with hair is so bizarre to look at now.

He really hasn’t.

All his IC title reigns have come since 2012, he’s been booked strongly off and on for a lot of that, he’s the last guy to pin Roman for a title.

He’s partly fallen victim to the Roman run, where most of the main eventers have been forced into the midcard.

Now, it could be worse, he could be Dolph Ziggler

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

I mentioned it another thread but he's the one guy where wins and losses really don't matter. You can beat him every match and it won't matter because

A. His character doesn't necessitate bad booking.
B. At this point nobody cares enough about Miz that they are going get mad at his booking.
C. He consistently gets so much TV time that it's always going to come off like he's important no matter how much he loses.

People care.

Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with the B., as people do care about Miz, but I do think his character doesn't need to win all the time.

Like, consider how he was one of AJ Styles' first WWE feuds, and honestly had better matches with Styles than some of his with Owens and some other generally stronger wrestlers. Miz occupies a unique position. I'd compare it to someone like a Jeff Jarrett or Goldust from the mid'90s. Always on TV, usually in a feud, and win or lose, goes into the next feud about as hot as ever.

Didn't Hunter actually hug Miz right after the gif ends?

I think he did, like I am pretty positive I've seen Triple H hug him before, so, probably.

Miz isn't in trouble, the booking of this storyline however has been in trouble for weeks...
