10 Wrestlers Who Couldn't Do Their Own Moves

There are some stars that are just born to be heels. Not that The Miz isn't funny and charming when he wants to be but there's just something so delightfully punchable about his on-screen persona.

Ergo, he needs all the help he can get during his rare babyface runs. In 2012, WWE paired him with the legendary Ric Flair in a forgettable "mentor and student" story. In this time, Flair bequeathed his most deadly move to the A-Lister.

And whilst Miz doesn't lock the Figure Four Leglock in quite as impressively as Flair did, where it really falls down is an overall performance issue. Miz doesn't use it to tell a story, he skips right to the end.

Be it of his own volition or the time he's given in-ring, Miz never really bothers to work his opponent's leg during any given match. He never has and he likely never will. As such, this already vapid hand-me-down of a move is less impactful as the prior punishment that makes it effective is missing.

More than this, Flair would spend minutes applying the lock, steadily becoming more intense to amp up the atmosphere. It's what made it so memorable. When Miz applies the Figure Four, he's heaving and grimacing that punchable face before he's even hit the mat.
