Why The Miz doesn't have Chris Masters as a bodyguard as part of his "Hollywood" act is far beyond my comprehension? The Miz is a movie star, and to amplify his diva heat, he should totally have a bodyguard that he uses during his WWE appearances, and who fights his battles when he's not able to make live events and TV would be entertaining. Imagine that The Miz is away shooting a movie and Eden announces, "The Miz" for a match, but then out comes Chris Masters with a microphone saying that "The Miz is away on assignment, so taking his place in this match is The Miz's bodyguard, me, 'The Masterpiece' Chris Masters!" Miz's role on the midcard is important having a placeholder to keep him hot while he's away and who can help him heat up an angle when he is present should be something WWE should consider.
