6 Ups And Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 23)
5. Mizdow Takes A Bow
Not every angle that is in motion right now has to jump forward by leaps and bounds every week. Probably one of the best stories being told right now is the slooooow turn of Damien Mizdow from the Mizs stunt double, to his personal assistant, to his eventual assailant. After garnering a following for his uncanny mimicry of the Miz during matches, Mizdow found himself demoted to personal assistant as a way to keep him out of spotlight. (It also has allowed Miz to be a true Hollywood jerk.) But Mizdow revealed Monday that Mizs tactic had backfired. By stepping out from Mizs shadow, Damien has found himself receiving casting calls as a possible leading man, and hes receive a sponsorship request. Miz played it off beautifully, as this duo continues to careern toward a breakup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq0eiqfbCtg Every week, some have to be waiting to see WWE mess this up somehow, but it keeps chugging along pretty well. Lets hope this storyline continues to steam along to its logical conclusion of Mizdow standing up to the Miz once and for all.
