The Miz

[8.0] "The Miz is literally the art of being a jobber. The role he's in right now is simply unmatched, brilliant, and prestigious. I recently found out that he hasn't been able to get a win in the last two years, and that's incredible--he manages to look ? and good while being a jobber. An excellent character who is truly an integral part of WWE. Yeah, I can't stand when he comes out to the ring and has his matches, but he's a charismatic guy, a great worker, and he sells very hot segments perfectly. Plus, in his youth, he was capable of deconstructing the character and the meaninglessness of a spot-monkey in a match against John Morrison."

[5.0] "Having a super safe worker like The Miz to put people over and work as an entertaining, iconic character is extremely valuable from a business perspective. From an obnoxious wrestling purist's perspective (like me) though, it means that most of his matches get forgetten. He does have some mid-2010's bangers, though."

[4.0] "straight buns bro i thought he looked cool when i was a child we had in our chips tazos no these sortof metallic or plastic discs that had two sides and you are supposed to throw them into each other. you would bet them, in my school you could do de a mentis o de a deveras deveritas y me miaron y lo perdi todo but i cried type shit and my enemy felt sorry and i got my commodities back. anyway this particular 2009 series was evidently for WWE it was a collection of 176 tazos. and one of my favorites was the miz bc i thought he had aura with the fedora and the gloves. now that the fedora has been ruined by da memes and that i actually see this crap miz is straight bootycheeks truly horrifying"

[5.0] "The Miz is one of the best talkers ever in WWE, he has a great heel gimmick as well but boy oh boy he has been consistently average in the ring. I could watch his podcast interviews promoting the company for hours. But when it really matters at his matches he doesn't deliver."

[6.0] "a wrestler who's kinda meh in the ring but extremely good on the mic, it's insane. What he can't do in the ring, he can make up on the mic."

[7.0] "The miz sadly has now become one of those wrestlers who will only sniff a world title again once they say they are about to retire. It's truly a shame, i remember watching "miz tv" growing up, thinking he was the coolest wrestler ever. He is great on the mic, his in ring skills are decent, however he will be remembered for his mic skills and his gimmicks."

[4.0] "The Miz has done some great character work and can cut some GREAT promos. The issue is that his matches have always been bathroom break matches to me. There's a reason he never gets injured. He wrestles like he's afraid to even get a scratch which is good and all but it's not going to look good on TV. He's been a charisma vaccum for a long time now and that doesn't seem to change."

[8.0] "I believe that it's always easier to portray a face character while one of the most challenging things of being a professional wrestler regarding the character aspect is to portray a heel because you need to behave that it isn't usually natural for anyone but when you're able to portray a character in such a wonderful and realistic way that you hear people saying they hate you for real like they believe you're that kind of jerk I believe that you're doing your job really well. That's what The Miz was in my childhood and now as a grown man I understand how AWESOME he really was and still is"

[4.0] "I always found this dude so weird. He stood out like a sore thumb during those mid-2000's years where it was virtually guaranteed that the next human being you were going to see was going to be a big bag of muscles. I always saw him more as "Some kind of MTV celebrity that stepped off the set of a reality TV show, " rather than "A legitimate force of nature to be reckoned with." Jaoquin Wilde & Robert Strauss made that shit work as DJZ & Robbie E, so The Miz's unremarkable ring skills are not very forgivable. His character work didn't even hit 100% <<In His Prime Years>>, & that's a weird trap to fall into as a character centric worker. Being paired with him nowadays seems like a statement that "We're unsure what to do with you, so here, hang out with Miz for a while" rather than "We see the world in you & here's this awesome guy to have 5-star classics with." I'll never say something like "He was Sylvester Turkay / Jon Heidenreich levels of terrible in-ring" or anything like that, but even then; his ring charisma is his worst point, & he's not awful but certainly not terribly good."

[8.0] "The most underrated and most under appreciated wrestlers in WWE. 2016 - 2018 was his best years, he made the IC title mean something. He's great on the mic and is pretty decent in the ring."

[4.0] "The wrestling equivalent of taking a drink from a plastic water bottle that's been sitting in a hot car for an entire afternoon. You technically received hydration and didn't drink hydrofluoric acid, but you got it in a deeply unenjoyable manner. I think The Miz is pretty much the equivalent of this concept. He's my threshold where anyone I rate lower than him is outright bad for whatever reason. I don't really think The Miz has any one thing that makes him especially bad in an objective sense. The problem is that he's subpar at literally everything. He's a very boring in-ring worker who can put on a two star match with anyone, doesn't make me engaged with what he's saying in any promo (except for a decent worked shoot on Talking Smack one time), and just doesn't inspire me beyond wanting to rate him purely so I have a middling numerical value to fill out the entire range of my scores on this website to appease the rules. He's been in a couple absolutely horrific matches, mind you. The fucking zombie lumberjack match is a special kind of bad and the Mania main event he had with John Cena was already quite bad even before his unfortunate concussion right at the end. I genuinely don't even know what else I can say, really. He's been in this industry since 2003 and has left about as much impact on me as his unconvincing and soft in-ring work."

[4.0] "Probably the most overrated wwe wrestler ever who you can count the amount of great matches he's had in his 20+ year career on one hand. His promo work has always to me been ehh to me & part of the promo ability is to sell you on the feud & when they wrestle but I just know the match won't be as good. Hopefully they continue phasing him out"

[8.0] "The Miz is a very good heel. A very cocky "I wanna punch this guy in the face." heel, Miz has all the attributes. Cocky, arrogant, snide, just the perfect heel."

[1.0] "The Miz is one of the biggest instances of a channel changer for me. The second that Miz TV segment comes out, I'm watching something else. I think he speaks well and clearly on the mic but I can't say I've ever felt any actual emotion from a Miz promo. He's just so generic and that bleeds into his wrestling as well. The only time I can ever remember caring about a Miz match was the Ziggler feud in 2016. There's just something about him, like every segment or match he has is the most sanitized and by the numbers segment you can imagine. He's literally been cutting the same promo every week since like 2009 and it never got any more interesting. I don't doubt that the guy works hard and puts in effort but he's sort of the epitome of what I think of when I think of a cringy or bad WWE segment."

[7.0] "The Miz is the emblem of the good worker who can play every role....except for the main event. Yes, even if his upper/midcarding work ranges from decent to exceptional, reaching the pinnacle with his 2016 Intercontinental Championship reigns, and even if he's believable both heel and face, his main event run sucked. Obviously it was not 100% Mike's fault (Vince bad booking shoot him in the foot), but it's evident his inadequacy as world champion. Great mic work and decent (but quite flat) in ring, Miz lacks the fisique du role to be a star."

[7.0] "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard enough. It's a motto Miz has modeled his character on to look back after it's all said & done and say: He deser...No he earned it"

[10.0] "The Miz is the total package in my opinion--incredible on the mic, solid in the ring, and carries himself like the star he is. Everything he does feels important. On top of that he's one of the most selfless superstars ever. Easy 10."

[4.0] "I greatly dislike The Miz, and the fact that this guy has been perceived as a face at any point in time is insane. His work rate has always been unimpressive, and is even below average for WWE standards. I don't think that he's ever elevated someone else and every important moment in his career has went nowhere, or went bad. His Mania match against Cena was unbelievably bad, and his shoot promo on Danielson went nowhere. I will give him credit for being a heel that I dislike because of his character/in ring actions, that has become increasingly harder to do as time marches on. In total, I think that his legacy will be protected by the WWE for his loyalty to the company, the way he is portrayed and revered by the company is not surprising due to said loyalty."

[0.0] "2 decades in the wrestling industry and I cannot recall a single Miz match I enjoyed because of his work. He's incredibly unathletic, has a very poor moveset, & was absolutely carried by the fact he is a good promo AT TIMES. He leeched off Johnny Nitro in their tag team stints, had horrible feuds with almost everyone he was given, had one of the worst modern-era wrestlemania main events ever, like it's genuinely amazing The Miz is held in such high regard among WWE fans. His best feud was against Dolph, who carried the entire thing. Baffles me onto why Vince loved him so much to make him a 2x grand slam champion, especially when a guy like Bryan Danielson couldn't be one. Now, in the twilight years of his career, he's done nothing of real note. Had a horrible tag-team reunion with Truth, turned heel again, and just makes a monthly appearance to plague the product even more. He has now completely stunted Carmelo's growth in a pointless tag team that is going nowhere. Miz is not important in kayfabe in the current WWE "lore", and he shouldn't of been important ever in his career. The most famous Miz ever got was for having a nervous breakdown in a worked shoot against Bryan, who is 1000000000000000000x the wrestler Miz is, which I think sums up Miz pretty perfectly."

[8.0] "Great in the ring and on the mic when needed to be. A reliable worker to build young talent up, has done and won it all. Could have been a bigger talent if used properly but alas! Definitely a HOF legend though."

[0.0] "A guy of marginal athleticism with awkward looking offense but a great finisher has managed to have a two decade career. I never like the tag team with John Morrison because their matches were shit. It was their little web show that got them over. It worked, good for them. All of his best matches, that you can count on one hand, were with guys who always have great matches. He's now more famous for having a nervous breakdown on Talking Smack than anything he's ever done. He's part of one of the worst main events in Wrestlemania history and two of the worst matches. The only reason I'm not giving him a 0 is because his finisher really is good and I know for a fact he's a good mentor for the WWE style behind the scenes."

[7.0] "A perfectly simple and solid star. His style may be safe but Miz is a very good promo and is always reliable."

[4.0] "Great on the mic, can be a good heel when booked right, same as a mid card champion, had a great tag team with John Morrison & R-Truth (in 2011, of course, the reunion SUCKED)... That's all the positives I can give you. He's a mediocre wrestler at best, despite he does his best to stay safe in the ring, which wouldn't be an issue if he could put together good matches without the need to be carried, he was an abysmal babyface (twice! ), should only be a mid card act and never become WWE Champion, and Miz TV is terrible. I need to know how we live in a timeline where this guy got the WWE Championship (TWICE! ) but guys like Mr. Perfect, Terry Funk, Roddy Piper, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, etc. never held it once."

[10.0] "The Miz is one of my favourite wrestlers ever and is one of the greatest examples of a WWE Superstar ever. A real showman who plays into the entertainment incredibly well, while also having great matches. His accolades speak for themself, he has earned every one of his title reigns in WWE. The first ever 2-time Grand Slam Champion, 8-time Intercontinental Champion, Wrestlemania Main Eventer... you name it, he's won it. An incredible promo who always delivers and can play a serious or comedic character, The Miz is one of the most reliable wrestlers in WWE, who has had an incredible career."

[5.0] "The Miz has had some good moments in his career, and I've never really disliked the guy. But he's just horribly overrated--everything about him is mediocre, and that's okay. However, his run for the Intercontinental title in 2016 and 2017 was truly superb, but there are too many lows in his career to rank him any higher."

[6.0] "He's a solid talker, but one of the most underwhelming wrestlers with one of the most punchable faces in the business. Having a favorite Miz match is like having a favorite episode of the news. They're all too bland, basic, uninteresting. When he's not a whiny, insufferable, cocky heel, he's an unconvincing, cocky babyface. Miz is exactly what you get when you're good enough at the job to never get fired but not good enough to ever be missed when you're gone."

[10.0] "the miz is a great utility talent who can be placed anywhere on the card when needed. he's also excellent at garnering heat, with amazing mic skills and great heel mannerisms. He's far from a masterclass wrestler, but he makes up for it by being consistent, safe, and reliable, and being very good at selling and willing to put others over. And its not like he cant put on a great match when he wants to. His fatal four way match at extreme rules 2016, IC title match at No Mercy 2016 with dolph ziggler, and his IC title match on Raw against Gunther, among others, have all been great. I have a lot of respect for the miz, and he is one of my personal favorite wrestlers."

[8.0] "You're never going to find him on a "Best of X or Y" list or compilation and you'll probably struggle to think of one singular match where The Miz set the world on fire. But the man consistently got heat and made chicken salad in one of the most anemic periods in pro wrestling history. One of the most acomplished Intercontinental Champions in the titles history and every time he got the belt it felt more important. Every company would kill for a Miz and It's why I reject the whole "coasting on one promo for a decade" narrative. He went though a torrid time at the beginning of his career and still endeavoured to elevate those around him when it would have been just as easy to pull rank like those before him and hog more of the glory for himself."

[4.0] "He cut one good promo on talking smack almost a decade ago and has had a half dozen good matches, and for some reason some people seem to think he's amazing. He isn't. A terrible WWE title run, an unmemorable second WWE title run, and a single good title reign (his 2016 IC title one) is all that is really of note from his career. He's a great brand ambassador and lower midcard heel, whether solo or in a tag team, but that's really it. He's broadly fine - the epitome of "Yeah I mean he's alright I guess.""

[5.0] "Miz is often described as one of the most underrated wrestlers in the world, however. Much of this dialogue about the miz being underrated comes from the dialogue surrounding one singular promo. Most times when someone mentions the Miz, they mention the promo he did on talking smack on Daniel Bryan, this promo is essentially the basis for the Miz agenda and why he's gotten so much praise since. He's an adequate worker but in terms of his rating on here he is absolutely overrated and it is very much due to that promo in particular. He's had good matches but those have been against wrestlers like Rollins and Danielson who are considered wrestlers who could get a good match out of anybody by the general public, if the talking smack promo had never happened, I have no doubt Miz would be rated around about a 5.5 on the site."

[7.0] "The Miz is one of the most consistent and reliable performers WWE has ever had. While he's never been the flashiest in the ring, his character work, promo skills, and ability to elevate others are top-tier. He's the kind of wrestler you can plug into any role--midcard, main event, tag team, host, or comedy--and he delivers every time. Might not be everyone's favorite, but his longevity, versatility, and dedication to the business speak volumes."

[8.0] "The Miz is the man who was always in my heart, I never hated him because he's a genius. His feuds and storylines was so interesting(my fav is with Dean Ambrose), he's not bad in the ring and he's a monster on the mic"

[4.0] "Well miz is just mid and that's the truth and maybe sometimes bad, he have something in him and showed it in multiple matches but it's a rare that he brings something in the ring and to us as a fans, I don't really care about his mic skills, the good wrestler should be good in a lot of stuff not just one thing! , I liked him match with Dolph in no mercy but man he should've been more than that I guess? Or maybe not idk, he liked what his doing and continues with it and I just think it's wrong especially if it is something that really boring and really bring something, his boring and his character is boring and he just love to stuck with it and it sucks."

[5.0] "The most average wrestler of all time. Absolutely nothing about him stands out, but there's also nothing he's just bad at. Mid at everything across the board. In ring, promos, look, character work etc etc. all just average. He has been wildly overpushed so I understand why some just hate him for that."

[6.0] "Great character work as a heel, not very good as a face. In ring he was awful but definitely improved through the years. They made a mistake giving him a title four years into his wrestling career, but he's rewarded them by being the consummate professional and staying loyal. Never had a match that stood out, but he held his own when matched up with the best such as Daniel Bryan"

[3.0] "In my opinion, he is just ... meh. I don't even think that his promos are as good as people say they are, and that is his only redeeming quality tbh. I honestly believe that people a lot of "smart fans" these days are such contrarians and try to justify The Miz in order to make people believe that they have a greater understanding of wrestling than them. His stuff with R truth was entertaining, other than that, his only memorable moment was his promo against Daniel Bryan, where he just shouted loudly ."

[4.0] "The Miz is a good entertainer for what WWE is looking for, but he shouldn't be seen much on television. His time has passed, and his limited repertoire is becoming increasingly evident. He's simply a waste of TV time. pst: The Miz has the honor of having the worst ME in WWE, WM 27."

[7.0] "One of the most underrated superstar of all times. He knows how to entertain a match like nobody else, even a random match in a live event. He gives the best of entertainment in everything that he does. In ringskilss may not be one of the bests, but it's rare to find a really bad match of him. He has the power to impulsionate everyone who is against on the ring. Had a lot of importance in the industry with good reigns, elevating titles like the intercontinental and helping new talents. This is rating is for all his career. No doubt is one of the most notable of the modern era. Like or Hate him, but you have to admit that The Miz it's a icon from this generation of Pro-Wrestling."

[8.0] "The Miz is somebody who is a "Jack of All Trades, Master of None", with the possible exception of cutting amazing heel promos. He is solid in ring, not a superhuman athlete or anything but is absolutely a decent enough worker. His safety cannot be understated, he has only been injured a handful of times over the past decade. In the current day and age he is always happy to put over younger talent too. In my opinion, Miz is one of the greatest heel wrestlers of the 2000s."

[2.0] "Believe it or not, had I made this years ago, Miz would probably get a zero, but hes risen up a bit since then. First off let's talk about promo skills, everybody talks about how good his promos were, yet I always found him cringey and annoying. Whenever he would talk I would turn the channel, litteral go away heat. Once in a great while he would have a solid promo but that's it. His in ring work has always been sloppy and boring, I can't recall any "Good" matches hes had, merely passable ones in which he was always carried to by way more capable in ring workers. I can count on one hand the amount of memorable moments he had throughout his entire career that were something close to being good which is pretty sad. His run as world champion was one of the darkest times for me being a fan. In recent years hes gone from having go away heat to me feeling complete apathy for him."

"fine worker, great on the mic but hasn't been captivating in a while. deserves his props when he retires but he is a little overrated"

[6.0] "I'm very on and off with Miz, but I can't say that he's terrible because that would be a lie. His mic work is awesome and he can make a great rivalry a lot of the times. His in-ring work can be good, but sometimes it's just okay, and sometimes it can be pretty bad. My main problem with Miz is that sometimes he is cool and badass but some other times, he's just super annoying and it can be painful to watch him, especially when he cuts the cringe promos he does now. Overall he is a good aspect that WWE has but can be an absolute nightmare to watch sometimes."

[5.0] "His mic work is great but his in ring work is just okay. I've only seen one really great much out of him and much of that can be attributed to Ziggler. Other than that every match I've seen is him being in an okay to fine match. To be fair to him, I also haven't ran across that many stinkers besides the one he and Cena had at Mania, even that had the problem of it being weirdly booked."

[7.0] "The most punchable face in WWE. He consistently delivers outstanding in-ring performances and shines on the mic. His passion for the wrestling business is evident, and I admire his dedication to uplifting the next generation of stars. Truly a legendary heel, he embodies the spirit of this incredible industry!"

[8.0] "Where do I begin with the Miz? One of the greatest talkers in wrestling not named John, Rock, or Punk. The Miz has always been a hard worker, just watch his promo about the 2006 Diva Search vs some of his promos now, massive improvement. And even though his moveset can sometimes feel limited, I've never come out of a Miz match like: "Wow that sucked, " his matches were always decent to good. He's always been a WWE Superstar, he is the definition of a WWE Superstar. And finally not to sound like the Miz here, but his resume is pretty great: 2-time WWE champion, 8-time IC, 2-time US, 11-time tag champion, and a Mr. Money In The Bank (I wouldn't include 2020.) He's always been trusted as a reliable worker in WWE, so I'll give him a suitable rating to complement that."

[10.0] "Mike was the first wrestler I fell into love with growing up, I remember watching him around 2009 and just clicking with him, I was so happy when he won Money in the Bank 2010 and then when he cashed in on Orton, best night of my life. I consider him a realiable source, you can use him as a lower midcarder and 2 months later you can make him your champion, I'm just wishing that he can surpass Jericho's IC title reign record, hopefully this year, it shouldn't be a long reign either, give it to him for a month or two and then just give it to Gable, idk."

[6.0] "He's fine. The most fitting thing I can think to say about him is that he's the perfect image of a "WWE Superstar". Inoffensive but still competent and fundamental wrestling ability, pretty good promo ability & a decent babyface and pretty natural heel. I've never seen a Miz match that's stuck with me (especially in the last few years of his career) and every now and again he'll cut a promo that leaves me thinking "That was alright." He's just... alright."

[5.0] "What can there be said about The Miz? Well, not much, really. He might be one of the most middle of the road wrestlers of all time. He is average in the ring, average on the microphone, average as a character. What more can you say about a guy that's had the exact same characters for almost two decades? If you made a wrestler that's okay at everything and great at nothing you end up with The Miz."

[10.0] "When I first got into watching wrestling (around the Royal Rumble last year), I hated The Miz and thought he was an overrated hack. As I saw more of his matches, I begrudgingly admitted that he had some talent but wasn't anything great. After nearly two years of being a fan, I must admit that he was a legitimately talented wrestler and a great character."

[5.0] "Being blunt, his in-ring performance is mediocre at best. I've never been excited to see a match that involves him. As for his skills outside the ring, they are very hit or miss (no pun intended). He can dish out very emotional promos, much like the Talking Smack one. But most of the time he lacks that spark and his promos are bland and forgettable."
