Ric Flair and The Miz

[Lowki]

Shocked that there hasn't been the usual "This is copying TNA because they paired AJ with Flair already!" post.

They mock Styles if they're using the Miz in his place. You wanna know what else is wrong. That we think nothing is wrong with referring to a grown man as "The Miz". He should drop that and use his real name.

I've been a huge fan of The Miz ever since he broke away from Morrison. Love the guys character and he's gold on the mic. It will be interesting to see The Miz/Flair pairing and what they have planned. It seems like it might be a short term thing maybe leading up to something at WrestleMania, possibly a tag match with Miz doing 85% of the in-ring work.

Don't worry about it. The people on this site hate everything. And the IWC most likely only counts about 5% of the total people that watch WWE maybe even less.

Mike Mizanin has been calling himself "The Miz" for 12 years. It's his stage name.

And no offense, but by your logic:

Dwayne Johnson should stop referring to himself in third person as an inanimate object
Adam Copeland should've never named himself after a line connecting forward points
Jason Reso shouldn't be calling himself a person of a certain religion.
Mark Calloway shouldn't refer to himself as a mortician or a corpse.

Not sure I'm following you.

You're saying WWE pairing Flair with Miz isn't a good idea for his face turn, but yet you're saying he could possibly replace Cena as a top babygace as a result?

This right here is WWE Logic.

They're using Flair to give Miz the rub. It ain't right because it may, but probably won't, benefit Miz - but it certainly devalues Flair. Miz doesn't need it and it's simply a desperate gamble to make him face relevant. So they want to do that - put him in a feud people are going to react positively to - as they have managed to do with ADR.

Bottom line is Miz doesn't works as a face because his whole gimmick is built around being a smartass. As a face, it looks like WWE is condoning that and that's certainly not "Be(ing) A Star".

Miz can still retain his smartassness and still get over as a face- but as you stated- do as they have done with Del Rio. Pairing him with Flair in the long run- I agree with you to.

And I think creative is trying too hard with Miz. He has always been great at delivering promos. But what is lacking now in this face turn is the writing. Much like with John Cena- the creative(promo writers) for both men really need to be changed. Both men can cut promos with passion- but its the material that they have to work with most times that is utter shit. With Miz, not sure if its the same person who was writing his heel promos- if it is, he sucks at writing face promos.

I read that the whole point of miztv monday was so flair could "give" miz the figure 4 move. I like it in theory but the miz applied an ugly figure 4. He needs practice lol. Also i hope they dont take this too far and have miz start referring to himself as the nature boy like flair did when he took the nickname.

[THE HEARTBREAK KID]

I'm not a huge Miz fan. I like him as a heel but face apart from the odd funny comment, I'm not a fan so far. However my only issue with Miz at the moment is all these Miz TV moments. There's been to many IMO, and the last one with Flair I just didn't like, it was a little too cringy for me and I would have rather seen another Punk/Flair segment.
