7. A Star In The Making?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvd8kIVSdaE Say what you will about the Miz, but he gets a reaction out of fans. He is perfectly serviceable in a role riling up a crowd or providing a figure for someone to play off of. He provided the perfect foil for Damien Sandow (though that didnt really work out too well for him in the long run), and now hes being paired up in backstage segments with Neville. One of the biggest criticisms that can be levied against the British high-flyer is that he seems to lack personality on WWE television, and in WWE, a lack of personality is a huge problem. The good news is that Miz is quite adept at getting others out of their shell a little and play off of him, so hopefully the coming weeks will see Neville grow as a performer outside the ring. The other good thing is that Miz is capable in the ring, so this shouldnt drag on forever solely as a backstage skit, as some other feuds have been in the past. Look for Neville to tire of Mizs antics soon and it lead to a match.
