If Miz's one reign outshined Batista's reigns then I'd go with him but truth be told his one doesn't even beat out Batista's first title reign let alone the rest.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Yeah, Batista's sloppy title reigns rank up more than Miz's one awesome one.

 

[Keith]

But Miz did not have a awesome reign that is the problem, the booking of him post-title win was terrible. For all Batista's shitty matches, he was over as champion at least the first time around and the feud with HHH was very good viewing.

If this poll took place in a couple of years time then with a bit of luck my vote might go to the Miz.

 

[Deuce]

The Miz is one of my favorites but can't say his one reign beats all of Batista's...

 

[Andrew]

Batista here.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Miz just had something Batista didn't. Talent. Lol I kid, I Kid.

 

[Keith]

No, quite right Scott LOL!

 

[Kingslayer]

I don't care, I'm going with Miz. Batista is Mason Ryan with a superpush. That's all he is, that's all he's ever gonna be. He may be a draw because he was positioned to be one with the best put over of the decade, but I'll never respect him.

For Miz to get where he is from where he was is a miracle. I don't buy for a second that Batista could go from Miz's position to a star on his own, with no political backing. He doesn't have "it", not on his own. They gave him "it" on a silver platter. Miz had to claw his way right up from the bottom with no help, similar to Zack Ryder, except 10 times more charismatic and better on the mic.

Oh yeah, and Miz beating John Cena at WrestleMania > Duct tape finishes. It's just a shame the real champion is going to lose this one.

 

[Troy]

I don't like Batista but I admit he was a much better champion than The Miz. The Miz will have his time in the future though and I am sure he will turn out to be a better champion than Batista.

 

[Keith]

Well yeah I am a big Miz fan, it is not his fault his reign was so forgettable. I am not a fan of Batista at all I am just saying that his feuds with the likes of HHH and Undertaker were really well booked and did produce some decent matches. If this was a striaght match up choosing who was the better talent The Miz would win easy, but Batista's as world champion at the first time was more memable.

Batista moves on gets Jeff Hardy in an intriguing matchup of posts about how both guys can't wrestle.
