In some fans eyes, The Miz nearly ruined the WWE Championship. The former Real World star, and Tough Enough competitor defied all odds and won the industries top prize by cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase on Randy Orton late in 2010. Things should have worked for The Miz, who was on fire on the microphone, but WWE did him no favors with how they booked him. In addition to defending the title on Pay-Per-View against a way, way, past his prime Jerry Lawler, he was a WWE Champion that was the third wheel in a headlining Wrestlemania program that was served to push the following year's main event, The Rock vs John Cena. People were confused as to why Miz held the title for 161 days, when a superior heel in CM Punk could have been a better option. Combined with the reality TV backlash (Miz famously channeled fans in a promo, You Should Go Back To MTV!) and terrible main event at Wrestlemania 27, it's safe to say those clamoring for Miz to remain champion were in the minority. Perhaps an underrated factor in all this was Michael Cole on commentary. As Mizs title reign progressed, he increasingly became more unbearable each week, as he championed Mizs merits to an erroneous level. Mizs last night as champion ended with an Attitude Adjustment off the top rope in a steel cage. For most fans, it ended long before that.
