Ups...

4. New Day Talks

Throughout the years, we’ve seen nearly every scenario possible during a WWE talk show segment. That’s why Miz TV Monday night was so refreshing.

Miz and John Morrison were running through their shtick when they brought out their guests the New Day, who did something unique: they launched their own talk show (New Day Talks) right during Miz TV. Kofi Kingston was host, while Xavier Woods was bandleader (and later, bailiff). Sure, they hammed it up, and not every joke hit, but it was energetic, and it certainly wasn’t boring.

And given how much of a joke Miz has been lately, this played nicely into that theme, with Miz becoming enraged about his sanctuary being turned into a punchline. Overall, just a fun gag that clicked because of the personalities involved.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
