McMiz TV was a winner, wasn't it? Shane and Miz have good chemistry, The Usos nailed their promo and the segment did its job of adding heat to this Sunday's pay-per-view match. Not only that, but there was some hilarity when The Usos got testy about Miz-O-Mac bringing up their dad.

Only they didn't.

Shane was merely expressing surprise over quiche being his partner's favourite food. That's when one of The Usos clan piped up and said they shouldn't bring up 'kish, as in their father Rikishi. That seemed to fly right over the audience's heads, but this guy appreciated it.
