You're not watching if you think Kane is more over. Dolph isn't over, Vickie is and she's 90% of his heat, dude has nothing going for him without her.
Dude was over long before Vickie got to him. Dolph is Miz with wrestling ability and a little less personality, but they are pretty much the same character.
And if Kane isn't over, then why is he getting the biggest heat on SD? It doesn't matter what the guy does, the people want to see him, because he's good, AND HES WORKED LONG AND HARD TO BECOME SO!! unlike the Miz.
As far as the Nexus, when they're not attacking Cena, everyone's apathetic to them, only one who gets heat outside of Barrett is Heath because of the Wendy chants Cena originated Cole??
Yeah and why is it that unless Miz is running his mouth, IE when he's wrestling someone who's a jobber like him, there's almost no reaction?
No. Sheamus is getting John Morrison over, something they've been waiting over a year for someone to do.
Dude, Morrison IS over. Has been so for at least a year and a half now.
You're not defining anything as much as you're singing Rey's praises, and hey, I agree with that. Doesn't mean it makes him more qualified to be a world champ because he was over for a long period of time, as compared to a guy who's been hot for a year.
Actually it does. It means YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED ALMOST EVERYTHING THERE IS TO EXPERIENCE, which makes you more valuable then some flash in the pan.
If you're hot, you're hot, strike while the iron's hot. They didn't wait years and years for the Rock and Austin. Know why? Because THAT'S A STUPID IDEA. Why would you wait to put the strap on someone a decade after they orignally got hot and obviously risk losing their heat?
Using that logic, Santino should be world champ. He's almost more over than anyone.
Comparing Rey's situation and Miz doesn't make sense. The situations are completely different.
Yeah, Rey has experience and talent, Miz has the ability to be an annoying prick. Yippeee. What else makes him qualified to be THE GUY in the wwe?
In 2006 the E's main event scene was BLOATED. They had legit main eventers in HBK, HHH, Taker, Batista, Cena, Orton and Kurt Angle. Edge was on the cusp, Rey, while incredibly over might have never won the world title had it not been for Eddy's death. It was exploitation all the way through, from Rany's tasteless comments to the Guerreros coming out to celebrate Rey's win and it was such a throwaway match. Plus there's a reason Rey had to wait 4 years before another run.
Right now, if you haven't noticed, the E is in a giant transition and infusing youth is their top priority. Outside of Taker, Orton , Edge and Cena, the talent drop off in bonafide main eventers is huge. That's why Sheamus, Barrett, Swagger and Miz have been given shots in the title picture. They need stars NOW, not ten years down the road. It doesn't matter if Miz hasn't had awesome matches for years, neither did Rock, but he has an undeniable charisma that needs to be capitalized on.
Thanks captain obvious, Rey got the title while legit mains were around and instead Rey got the title and worked out alright. Miz, is the best of a bunch of shit, yeah that's a compliment.
Hogan. Big boot. Leg drop. Made millions.
He also had the greatest comeback in the history of the business. And, when he had to, he wrestled with anyone.
Besides Austin, who did Bret turn into a main eventer? No one. HBK was mad over on his own, the only thing Bret ever did was put him over for the strap, but he didn't make anyone a main eventer.
Bret Hart started putting HBK over at the Survivor Series in the mid 90s. They had some of the greatest matches the WWE has ever seen, and the champion Bret, gave everything he had to get HBK from IC Title dude to sealing his main event run. Bret got Austin over, but when I talk about getting guys over, I talk about his toiling in the midcard for 10 years in the WWE putting over blueberries like the Warrior and making them look 100x better than they ever were. Miz can't do that because he has no talent.
You mustn't know much about Piper if you think he got people over in the ring. Piper admits that if he lacked his gift for gab that he'd have been nothing in the ring. Top mic worker of all time, sub par in the ring.
I didn't say Piper just got people over in the ring, but lets be honest, he was given shit like Bad News Brown, Mr. T, and that fat cross dressing woman he beat at WM 3, and he had some of the most memorable moments in the WWE. What has Miz ever done that rates up with Piper? Nothing.
Miz is a top mic worker and an above average worker right now. He has already gotten someone over and has only been in the ring a fraction of the time the people you mentioned were.
Yeah the fact that Bryan Danielson was pretty much known by half the WWE audience had nothing to do with it. He HELPED get Bryan over, but he's not a star maker. Miz has to be given a title to get over.
You're talking about guys who had been wrestling 10-20 years before they became legendary and yet you fail to recognize the beginning of what could become a legendary career for the Miz and it seems you're butthurt because he doesn't fit your criteria to be a world champ while ignoring the circumstances the company is in and why he's in the position he's in.
you're not taking into account that pretty much everyone who has been thrown the title has fallen flat after a year or two. Shemus was working with Santino, Swagger is walking around with a fucking EAGLE right now. The Miz is the Backstreet Boys of wrestling, he's hot for now, but until he gets staying power, he's just like so many others. A lot of people can "get hot" not many people can sustain it, I'm betting Miz can't.
You don't like the guy, fine, but it just makes sense to give him his shot. He's hot. He's got mad mic skills, which historically take you further in this biz than mat skills and the E is in need of main event talent now.
I'll give him a shot in another year or so after he has more experience under his belt. You want to talk about history, tell me where guys who were shoved into the main event spot in major companies are now....Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, The Great Khali, Bobby Lashley, these no talent guys who got HOT FOR A WHILE BUT DIDNT HAVE THE CHOPS TO CARRY SHIT. 3 of them are out of the business, and the 4th is a side show, which is all Shemus and Jack Swagger are at this point thanks to WWE booking.
And no, CMS, I don't hate on everyone new in the WWE main event scene. Batista, Randy Orton, and John Cena were fine when they got their first titles (well maybe not Orton cuz he was a face) but they were over for a while. You can't just debut a guy and have him win the title. That's crap. You want to elevate a guy? Fine. Have him beat the champ, cool, but don't just throw the title on some guy just because he's over for a few months.
