5. Why Wasn't The Miz Always This Great?
MIz as the guy carrying the most serious championship in the entire pro wrestling industry? Terrible. Miz as a delusional Hollywood superstar shamed by his stunt double? Completely ridiculous and totally great. What's ridiculous here is that Miz sadly hasn't portrayed this character all along. He's tailor-made to be an idiotic douchebag who has somehow achieved a high level of success. Thus, giving him the Mizdow character as a comedic foil (to accentuate his douchery) is perfect. A great case of a guy finding himself (in a most ridiculous place), here's to hoping that these two never break up. In fact, Miz and Sandow both evolving into self-important louts would be incredible. The idea of say, Zack Ryder (as a new Mizdow) and hell, maybe even a Bull Dempsey from NXT (as Sandow's "body double") would be great.
