The Intercontinental Title match between Kofi Kingston and The Miz at last night’s Main Event tapings received rave reviews from fans in attendance. Apparently the match went almost 20 minutes and got very physical. As a reminder, the other match for tonight’s episode of Main Event will see Dolph Ziggler take on Zack Ryder.

Yeah I read this article earlier, It's nice to see matches like this going on for a good period of time. Shame Big Show vs. Orton went on for same amount of time.

Good, the championship should be in lengthy matches like that, it makes the matches better, and brings good signs to the championship. Isn't restored yet, but this is a very good step to getting back on the right track.

Baw Gawd King, you're right! The Miz is a regular Dynamite Kid!

Your sarcasm is not appreciated :sandow:.

Seriously though, Miz has had quite a few great matches now, but people still see his ring work as a flaw. Obviously he's no Daniel Bryan and never will be, but he's definitely not a Khali, Mahal, etc.

Poor seller, shit scared of taking spots, not very athletic at all, terrible strikes and not exactly great at constructing a long match (see WM27) are a few of the reasons I hate his in ring work.

Oh yeah, and that bloody awful double axe handle from the top rope, yuck.

Finished over half the match at WM 27 with a concussion. Did you see how hard his head smashed the floor?

But ever since then he's been noticeably scared of taking them, see video below.



The R-Truth one is absolutely shocking.

Guessing you didn't see the top of the cage superplex he took vs Jomo and Cena at ER which ended up as a brainbuster also?

I didn't tbh, I only restarted watching last August so I'm just judging him on post WM27 stuff in which he has IMO been scared to take a bump.

Miz did take that suplex spot like a champ but there are many many more examples of him looking scared of a spot than actually taking one like a man.

It's fine. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Some guys are nuts and love big spots, and Miz doesn't like taking big bumps.
