8 Modern Wrestlers Who Would Succeed In Any Era
7. The Chickensh*t Heel: The Miz
Ever since the Brand Split, people have been singing the praises of The Miz. But for years before his pipebomb-instigated renaissance, he was doing excellent work as an irritating, entitled, insufferable heel.
And those guys can work anywhere. Particularly if they use a believable variation on the "I'm better than all of you peasants" schtick with the fans, which Miz does to a tee.
No, he's not a Horseman-level technician in the ring, but he's a heat magnet, and he could piss off crowds from Jim Crockett Promotions or the AWA with ease. Miz as a pioneering Television Champion in the early days of the belt is easy to envision, as he would encapsulate the self-promotional style that suits that title so well.
