10 Best Down The Lens Promos In WWE History
8. The Miz Blows Up On Talking Smack
Admittedly, this promo isn't completely fired down the lens. Most of the actual venom was spat at SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan.
Intercontinental Champion The Miz had been invited onto Talking Smack, but wasn't best pleased when Bryan called him out for wrestling "like a coward".
Clearly p*ssed off at being labelled as a 'soft' worker, Miz set about explaining why he performed the way he did. He referenced being able to wrestle day in and day out thanks to his under fire style.
Dialling things up a notch, Miz then laid into Bryan for promising to return to the ring to reclaim the IC title and then failing to deliver. Miz even caught Bryan off guard by telling him to go and wrestle in bingo halls with his 'indie friends', after the former WWE Champion exclaimed that he'd wrestle if WWE let him.
Bryan stormed off the set, but The Miz wasn't finished.
Demanding the camera be brought over to him, Miz told the world to "understand that this is day 141 of the never-ending Intercontinental Championship world tour, and I swear to you, I promise you, it will be the most relevant title on SmackDown Live"'
Miz' eyes were clearly welling up from the passion surging through his veins as he decreed that the blue brand was his show and that he was sick of being criticised by the masses.
After this moment, few would ever question his commitment to the cause ever again.
