The team of The Miz and Damien Mizdow may be entertaining, but many fans still struggle to wrap their head around the fact that the former headlined Wrestlemania, defending the WWE Title at the event. If you were a newcomer to the WWE product, it'd seem rather strange that the cartoon-like arrogance of The Miz was viewed as an ideal candidate to headline the biggest show of the year. Far from ragging on Mike Mizanin for making it as far as he has, this entry instead congratulates the guy for making a success of himself, and somehow convincing WWE management that he's worth an estimated $700,000 per year. That's a hell of a lot of money for someone currently treading water in a mid-card, comedy act tag-team.
