3. John Cena vs. The Miz - WrestleMania XXVII
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GEq75UxSRE In his interview with
Wired, Adam Penucci talks about how he waited ten years to use Nas'
Hate Me Now on a WWE promo package.
It didnt fit any of our heel characters, and it wouldnt work for a babyface character, then along came the Miz.
Miz's main event run isn't fondly remembered at all, and fans will often tell you that he didn't deserve it. That was the point though, he didn't deserve it, not on screen anyway. While in real life, Mike Mizanin bust his ass to become exactly the kind of star WWE wanted and was rewarded with a main event run, on screen The Miz had fallen ass backwards into everything he ever accomplished. This video sums up ten years of that man's life so beautifully. It not only shows his journey, but it juxtaposes him with legends like Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin. The Miz watches Ric Flair say "To be the man, you gotta beat the man" and whether you like it or not, Miz beat the man. You can hate him now, but he's main eventing WrestleMania, so he wins.
