4 Ups & 8 Downs From WWE Raw (May 30)
2. Putting Miz In His Place
Finally, someone just talked right over Miz and rendered him moot on his own talk show.
The Street Profits were guests on Miz TV Monday night, but they weren’t having any of his antics. They interrupted his promo, grabbed his mic and just immediately started cutting a promo about Hell in a Cell and the Cody Rhodes/Seth Rollins match. They noted that Miz “took the L” last week against Cody, just to get in a dig.
They pretended to ask Miz what he thought about HIAC, then proceeded to completely ape The Rock’s “It doesn’t matter what you think!” line, asking how he could be falling for that stuff with him being here for so long.
But it was when Miz went to his worn-out “When my hand goes up…” shtick. First, Angelo Dawkins gave him a high-five, then asked if he had a question. Both Profits mimicked his lines, showing just how overplayed this routine really is.
Watching the Street Profits just straight take the piss out of Miz was highly entertaining stuff, but it also made it obvious that Miz’s antics are worn-out and tired. He needs to go away for a couple years at this point, which just isn’t going to happen. It’s a shame that this segment will be seen as comic relief rather than a telltale sign of a problem with Miz.
