No, I've always been against Miz. I will give credit where credit is due, he improved. But with that being said, he can do interviews all day, grant a thousand wishes to dying kids and stop the drought in Africa, but I'll still change the channel whenever he comes on and think hes a joke, because he is.
As for Miz being compared to the Cena situation back in 06/07-ish, comparing the Miz to Cena? Thats like comparing The Monkeys to The Beatles. Even though I get tired of Cena, Cena has proven his worth time and time again and at least he looks like a threat and has that presence about him. Miz is just so full of suck, through and through. He will stay around in WWE for a while yet, more power to him, but that doesn't mean he is as good as some people on the internet give him credit for. Hes a bandwagon guy if there ever was one. Hardworking? Yes. Persevering? Yes. Great at what he does? No.
