Since you referred to me as one of your goons I should attack YOU. But anyway...
The guy was introduced to the world on The Real World, a reality show. On there we saw him profess his love for professional wrestling and introduce us to the character of "THE MIZ". It came across as nothing more than some jocky frat boy posturing in the bathroom mirror, no one took it seriously or even thought anything of it.
Then he popped up on Tough Enough..again trying to pitch this Miz character... we all know he didn't win. Somehow he managed to get himself a WWE contract. He's gone from backstage interviewer/Divas Search host and curtain jerker to one of the best talents in the company. This past year Miz has evolved more than any other competitor in years. WWE gave him just a sniff of a chance (his feud with Cena) and Miz took the ball and ran like a mad man. Morrison was always the one out of the tag team that everyone pinned for success and to be the breakout star, but it's been the extreme opposite.
In an era where hardly anyone can garner a reaction from the crowds, Miz holds most in the palm of his hand. The guy is currently holding the US and Unified Tag Titles, the "appear on ANY show free" card. What does that say? This guy is so damn good we need him on every show... it was the same situation with Jericho. They even picked him to mentor perhaps the most talked about signing of the past decade.
Miz simply oozes charisma, has stepped up his in ring ability unbelievably and can out talk just about anyone on the roster on the mic. He's perhaps the only young talent that is beyond ready to step foot in the main event on all fronts.
I mean, if you need to have explained to you why the Miz is indeed awesome... I don't know if I can help you.
