8 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (May 9th)
3. An Endorsement For The IC Champ
Can we give some credit to the Miz here? Mike Mizanin takes a lot of flak from fans for being annoying (and not in a good way) and not a good wrestler, but if you pay attention to his work in the ring lately, you should be able to tell that hes holding his own with extremely talented guys.
Case in point, Miz and Sami Zayn had a pretty entertaining match on Raw, with Zayn turning the triple threat for Mizs Intercontinental Championship into a fatal fourway by pinning the champ. Miz kept pace with the speedy Zayn and looked like he could pull off the win a couple times.
And can we give an upvote to Maryse as well? Her presence has only made Miz more reviled while adding some beauty to ringside. Shes helped augment Mizs Hollywood persona and helped him during his matches as well. All of this has turned Miz into an entertaining character again, rather than a lost soul.
