I'd rather have Ziggler or Ryback of the four options. Hate Barrett's new finisher. A "bare knuckle boxer" uses an elbow attack as a finisher? Miz already had his turn and shouldn't get close to the gold as a face, simply because he struggles too much with it.

Haha!! Thanks for reminding me!! I've got a pair of tickets waiting for me for WM 29!! Can't wait! :D

Some piece of trailer trash from the IWC claimed he could sell you mania tickets. Damn boy you'd have to be dumber than a bag of hammers to believe it.

It was a wonderful thing, we just had to meet him and offer him transport to Mania and he would get the tickets. :D

hahaha i second this. its bad enough that the feel he has to have some sort of title all the time

I voted for Miz simply because over the last year he has had to put up with some crap from what creative gave him, it was a real fall from grace after being WWE champ.

I didnt vote for ziggler as i feel he will hold the WHC again before the WWE title

Mic skills arnt as important as alot of people think (when comes to be a world title holder) Take Stone Cold for an example, the guys a legend and his mic skills were not all that great. Mic skills are a plus but isnt a must. IN RING ENTERTAINMENT.. and thats what Kofi is. JBL was awesome on the mic and i couldnt stand seeing him with a world title cause his "in ring entertainment" was very low most of the time... he was more fit for his first big role in the APA. mic skills isnt everything.

Austin's mic skills were not all that great? Have you ever seen any of his old stuff? When he was part of The Hollywood Blonds he was awesome. When he arrived in ECW he was still rehabbing the neck and didn't wrestle and cut some awesome promos with Heyman. Maybe you are thinking of someone else?

Im not dissing Austin at all. yes he cut some decent promos but not the greatest (mic skills) along with alot of other WWE/WCW legends. the point im getting at is (like i already said) mic skills arnt everything.

I don't get the hype around Ryback. I don't like his gimmick, move set, or mic skills. However this thread for me isn't about Ryback it's about Cody Rhodes and the lack of respect he is getting. I think Cody Rhodes along with Wade Barrett and Dolph Ziggler will be World Champions in 2013. I think that Cody will win the WWE Championship MITB and then cash it in on whoever the champion is in December 2013, January 2014. Also why is Brad Maddox not an option? >:(

I think Austin's mic skills were better than you're giving him credit for. As for Kofi i personally dont find him entertaining at all. but thats just my opinion

I always enjoyed Austins promos, though when the "What" chants came about they weren't as good.

As for Ryback, I found he got boring rather quick. The feud with Punk lost its steam immediatly after HIAC. His quick push to the top will only hurt him in the end. I think some time in the midcard would be great for him.

I can't really stand anything the Miz does. Wade and Ziggler both have a lot of main event potential, I would like to see them both in more high profile feuds before putting a championship on them. That's why I don't like the MITB, sets a deadline on a push.
