EXCLUSIVE: WWE Branding The Miz, Backstage Politics Involved

According to several sources within WWE, Michael Cole's PPV commentary tonight about The Miz being "the future of Raw" was a directed line from Vince McMahon, and was a specific line the company will be building on.

The Miz is seen by McMahon as a reliable workhorse, and is making the most of his push by doing as many media days and corporate appearances as possible. Miz has campaigned to be recognized as a "go-to" guy by McMahon, and is now starting to get the rewards of his appearances, media talks, and willingness to devote so much of his time to the company. One person I spoke with said it's the very same way John Cena got over with Vince McMahon, and the similarities are uncanny. "McMahon didn't like Cena at first, but Cena just worked harder than anyone else and won him over with a tireless work ethic," I was told. "The Miz is doing the exact same thing."

oh god..it's my nightmare come true

For the Miz that is AAAWWWEEESSSOOOMMMEEE!!!

Good luck to him in the future... so long as we aren't here five or six years from now with him as the WWE or WHC nine temes over, having witnessed a year long title through those nine.

the only good thing is, Miz is 20 times better than John Cena and always will be. because hes the Miz and hes AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE

I can just cry right now little Mike from The Real World is all grown up, Blue is proud you Miz!

Ugh. If he's the future then I'm done watching Raw

Miz isnt a loser, hes Mr. Money in the Bank (seeing Kane cashed his in already)

still a loser to me...even losers have a good day once in awhile

i still cant stand this fucker...he's 2nd on my list of people who i want to club at the knees

I'll take him over John Morrison, who most peeps were sucking off.

Morrison has shitty mic skills, his segment with Maryse was BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! Fucker is overrated (I like him don't get me wrong) but it's true.

I Like Lucky Cannon too, but i could care less what he does, he can just stand there.,..and look pretty.

I personally like Dolph, Drew, Swagger & Sheamus over Morrison and ESPECIALLY The Miz...

I liked the Dirt Sheet

we can sit and drool on Lucky together...then get lucky afterwards

The Miz is possibly the next John Cena?

They better get the Hart Dynasty[all 3] and Melina/Morrison to Smackdown because if he's the next Cena I'm done with Raw!

if Miz is the next Cena...then in a sense...Dead likes Cena in some small degree

since he likes miz..and miz is THE next Cena.

Also, who's to say because he's receiving a big push that he'll receive one of Cena proportions because he's well liked by the boss.

If Vince says Miz is the future then he's getting a huge push which is bad for the people who hate Miz

and dont forget that Vince is on Cenas nuts, whos to say Miz would get that

well Sheamus already is a 2 time champ and his ONLY credentials is that HHH likes him

and HHH isnt even the boss

Vince is the man in charge and he personally likes Miz...so yeah i think he could receive a Cena-like push.

ugh his face will be everywhere

Estoy deprimido.

I liked the Miz's attack on R-Truth, but other than that I'm not a fan at all.

I would love Miz as champion.

Well, one guy isn't the other. All I'm saying is time will tell, I'll give Vince the benefit of the doubt. There's potential for Miz to be a huge star, like him or not; but until we actually see what happens I'm going to hold off on judgement for now.

even if miz became a huge star, he still wont have my blessing..

like Rey, The Rock, Cena and Hulk Hogan

..Me molestan

We Need The Miz as wwe champion like we need Cm Punk back on smackdown to bring back a star that is needed and should be shining but they won't let him shine it seems with SES.

Ok... what?

Some, like you and Kev are multilingual. Then there are those such as myself who only speak and only care to speak one language.

Translation please? lol

no we dont need Miz was WWE champ. there are much better choices on Raw besides him..and even SD if they had done a smart draft this year.

Miz is one of my last choices for "new, young" talent.

Me molestan = they annoy me
Estoy Deprimido = i'm depressed.

unlike Kevin if i ever post in spanish it will be small tidbits like this...i dont know as much as i used to. lol

Miz will always just be mid card to me

We need new talent like the miz to win the title.

Just like Cm Punk should be getting a title push with the SES but it seems like they won't let Punk win it with the SES by his side.

We need these guys for we ain't getting john cena vs orton 4 times a year

Sheamus vs cena 4 times a year.

We need new talent....but not Miz

there is better talent than him out there....much better.

THIS IS FOR EVERYONE:

Which current or past maineventer did you not believe was should become a MEr and proved you wrong?

I once thought that about Eddie Guerrero

Like Vix said, there are way better. I would've loved for Bourne to win last night, he's way better than Miz

NCD, i cant even answer that...because no one has proved me wrong.

Cena still cant wrestle a lick
The Rock still oversells the fuck out of everything.
Hogan still cant do anything outside of a legdrop.

i hated them as midcarders....and still hate them as maineventers

('cept Hogan..i only know him as a maineventer but i still hate him)

I agree with Vixen and Mintrez.

I think there are better people who they could be pushing besides The Miz. Like Evan, John Morrison, Christian.

I NEVER got the hype around Miz, I didnt like him in RR, He was a major Player and I sure dont like him now.

If they want to replace someone like Edge with him then Please move Edge to Smackdown.

I hope Miz isnt going to get a Cena like push.

Vixen count me in on destorying Miz's knees.

I just see Miz as a pretty boy, nothing more.

No Miz fan but it pays off to devote ALL YOUR LIFE to the company.

how is Miz a major player?

I meant on Real World he kinda was. I remember he slept with a ton of girls then, he dated Trishelle, who I wont even go there with her.

Not sayin he is now. I dont think he is now, good thing though.

oh well then meh, thats reality tv and well....reality tv is garbage lol

well i agree that he deserves to get pushed if he has become another company man
i like him so its reete for me

Fuck that talentless hack The Miz, the only good thing about this John Cena push he's going to get; is that everyone is going to turn on his ass, just watch.

Haven't you people ever heard of diversity?

There are the Evan Bournes which everyone seems to be licking his balls. There's the Ted DiBiases which a few seem to be hopping off his bandwagon and I don't blame them, he hasn't been very impressive since the Legacy split. There's Drew, Ziggler, Kofi, Zack and several others who are talented. Not all of them will make it. Not all of them have 'it.' So even if WWE were to push whomever you wanted to push, it'd be because of bad booking or this reason or that reason. Let's face it, we can't have our cake and eat it too. At least WWE is trying to make that next big thing unlike their counterpart, TN(trashy)A.

Back to my point of diversity. There are all different types of young talents within the organization, but not all are worthy of being WWE or WHC just because they have a cool name, finisher or look.

i just dont see anything great about Miz. Waste of roster space.

Bourne is a waste of roster space as well but not because he isnt talented...he is... but, WWE has no CW division or LHW so it's pointless to have him around. unless they are going to give him the Mysterio "underdog" push, it's no point in having Bourne on the roster.

there are lots of wastes of space on the roster
i however feel in my opinon that Miz has more value on the roster then Bourne. Simply because Miz can sell more merchandise...
i am one of few on this forum who like the guy. Sure the guy aint a great wrestler...but hes improved enough..and as far as matches are concerned, it isnt JUST about the wrestling...its about being entertaining in a match, pushing through your character in a match, and thats something Miz can do with the best of them like Jericho and Superman. He has good mic skills, which have also improved from his beginnings, hes got a good look to him...i think he is great

then again, i think there are tons of potential ppls on Raw....youve got oldies like RTruth and Henry (who cos of there age aint going to get anything....it would be nice for Henry to get the US title at least -_-)...Youve got talented wrestlers (who lack more in other areas) like Dibiase, Bourne and JoMo

i like all of those guys...there are a few bad points to each of them though if you ask me
Dibiase is a little dull, his promos are improving...but this pairing of him and Maryse i benefiting her more then him...she is supposed to be there to help Dibiase...yet i find to be paying more attention to her them him
Morrison is one of my favourites..but the main thing that irks me about this dude, is he has some flashy ass finisher, that he hardly ever connects..i mean i find it to look very weak, and really degrades the wrestler who gets pinned because he was essentially headbutted in the ribs (which is basically all that hits, his head)
Bourne even if he has been getting more attention which is great...and he is supposedly due to get pushed, as WWE want ppl to get behind the smaller world title contendors...which i think may have flown out the window, if theyve just made Mysterio lose his after a month...but i digress...my beef with this dude. is that all he ever catches my eye for his is spots.

i think i went OT so apologies
either way in my eyes Miz is awsome
