Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen reportly lost millions in ftx and are facing lawsuits for more (Not convinced they really did though). It makes Miz losing millions in the same way a lot more plausible than similar multi millionaire wrestlers going broke storylines. Has that been established at all? Because it isn't like Cameron Grimes where his financial status was up and down depending on the story being told, he had a bag of money and lost the bag and he's apparently poor despite making appearances on NBC's The Wheel next season, as one of many examples. Last night on Raw he said he didn't have any physical cash as all his wealth was tied up in other things, and he said crypto out loud. Also he apparently had a fake Rolex.

I mean, it’s really stupid and makes him look like a dope with the mainstream appearances he’s making but it ain’t my company.

Perhaps he shares a bank account with his mother

It won’t happen but I’d love for this to turn into Miz being paid to be a dumb lackey for The Way and he essentially fills the role for Theory from NXT.

Ok, as much as it was stupid and unrealistic, I could see the argument of Shawn Michaels being broke and needing to be hired by JBL. It's total BS, but I can see it. Miz being broke is a leap in logic that is unbelievably unrealistic unless he's got the worst team around him. It's probably just a gag because of the bag being stolen last week but still. In a world where stupid people invest all of their money in crypto, even rich people, just to lose it all. I believe it more now more than with Shawn

I believe it more now more than with Shawn Sure, but not involving the only guy whose making major TV media appearances. Like, I know the people on the show are separate from IRL personas but a lot of Miz’s IRL persona goes hand in hand with being on game shows and the like. Especially considering he’s the only guy they really have to do them now that G4 got axed for Xavier. I might be overthinking it a tad and I know he’s a heel but it seems dumb to do a “I’m poor now” storyline with him of all people.

We are on the heels of formely big youtuber and billionaires becoming poor on crypto crashes. I get it is hard to buy but if there is a time to buy its now.

Yes, but those same people aren’t representing brands as ambassadors on TV shows to come off like stars. Like I said, likely overthinking it but after so long of Vince saying that everyone on his roster is poor, desperate and would be nothing without being in WWE, you’d have thought HHH would do things to not make his company seem cheap towards its talent despite being super famous.

I don’t think anyone still perceives/correlates media appearances with the talent’s on-air storylines. There’s no more Undertaker appearing in character on Regis and Kathy Lee.

Look, he bought Tout for way above its value and it hasn't been going well with the advertisers.

Yeah, he only gets certain amounts allocated by his wife, as happens to one I mean, of course Maryse controls the money. Last time Miz had a bunch of it, he ended up paying an unemployed serial killer to stalk him as a publicity stunt, until the money ran out and he started stalking him for realsies.

I really hope they go all in on broke Miz. Even further than they went with Corbin.
He's done pretty much everything you can do with the wannabe Hollywood star character. He's been an actor. He's had a reality show. He's had a stunt double. He's had a stalker. He's held his own fake award shows to give himself fake Oscars. He's hosted his own talk show for years.
There's not much else to do with the character. Have him lose everything and be mocked for it which he frankly deserves after how he's looked down on everyone else over the years. Then have him slowly be humbled and hopefully start winning people over leading to a face turn. They could have done it with Corbin last year but they decided to keep him heel which I think was dumb.

Before that trying to hide the fact he's lost the money from his wife and a monster he roped into the scheme could be pretty funny. Eg. If there was a rookie battle royal for a cash prize so he enters with a mask as Mr Hollywood or something similar.

Did he bet against the Harlem Globetrotters? He bet on the fight in Rocky III and he bet against Rocky.

Also if Dana Brooke can afford to just drop 50K in cash for this thing, that either means she made a terrible life decision or WWE pays better than some major sports leagues if someone at that level can easily just drop that much money without any issue.
