This man does not need a script.

[@chrissainegopie7862]

GilesMan5000 ikr

[@mr.commenter4794]

GilesMan5000 exactly, scripts hold back people like Roman and Strowman.

[@iwasdxbeforedxwascool9020]

It took him a long time to become a star like that cause back then he suck...

[@mernky3562]

Most of them don’t scripts are trash and should be done away with

[@Followthevoid]

Mernky 356 for the promos absolutely, they need scripts for the wrestling tho because it can go haywire and messed up if not coreagraphed

[@madboy9xx]

The ability Miz has to blend his character and story with real life is literally fantastic. The transition is this video is literally seamless.

[@marco4149]

He's just like Paul Heyman.

[@forcedentry2010]

Definitely. I could feel the tone change throughout the video where he would start talking about real life and then his heel character comes in for a couple lines then goes back into real life mode so perfectly. I used to hate the Miz but this guy has proven himself time and time again.

[@sotacoachj]

He's been blurring that line since The Real World. Dude is so good.

[@cookiechef6355]

he's quick and smooth kinda like HBK. Not saying he's on thattt level, cuz Shawn had so much substance. but Miz is pretty good on the mic

[@fsd2696]

The only man that knows how to make his character believable on screen. Future Hall of Famer. Great questions.

[@saadbintauheed]

and Tommaso Ciampa

[@saadbintauheed]

Benito Riggio check his tweets he carries his on screen character better than the miz

[@LukeThegeek]

Saad ul Islam I see what you’re saying but Miz carries it better. He keeps in character in interviews and stuff

[@saadbintauheed]

Luke The Geek I am fan of The Miz and Ciampa, both of them are unique heels wwe needs

[@MCShvabo]

I don't think Miz is a character per se, from all accounts he is actually like that.

[@QuackMamba34]

Miz deserves to be WWE Champion again. He wasn't ready the first time he won it. But now he is simply at the top of his game.

[@DWOld]

I feel the Miz is a modern day Mr Perfect . As much as I like him you need some guys to keep the mid card strong and mean something. The Miz and Chris Jericho are the perfect two to do this since they where fans of the IC belt when they where kids, they do the belt justice and get remembered for it more then their world championship reigns

[@chrissainegopie7862]

D.W Danall true

[@mehdiousss8196]

[@dentonkellyjr8095]

[@leerobbo92]

He's deserved it for a while now. Dude's been so stupidly consistent for the last few years.

[@jackcloud4728]

Holly crap hes so good he’s merged his character with real life. His shoot promo is literally building the story he’s incredible. He’s got to be near the top of the best talkers in history

ngl that’s actually awesome

[@mymindworks6625]

"People cheer Byran because he is good at playing the victim" That speaks volumes, especially when you consider the belief that the fans connect with people they can relate with the most.

[@paulinoking123]

The miz kayfabed us in the interview but it's still great

[@SkilesHasFun]

Chris Paulino Of course he did. But I do think he had or has legit heat with Bryan. And I think Miz tapped into some real emotion during that Talking Smack promo.

[@gregd806]

I mean, He’s smart, and he’s believable, He‘s good af at this at this point..

[@Gambino_Crime_Family]

It was like watching a promo. Miz is awesome hopefully he has a very long career ahead

[@scotts7517]

Miz has literally stood the test of time. In WWE, time is not on your side. Obviously Vince saw something in him early on that he was confident in him enough to put the WWE title on him. If you really don't like Miz you are a fan of wrestling for all the wrong reasons.

[@jayroman1978]

Bruh. You get it. EXACTLY. These guys only care about video game wrestling. Ricochet v Adam Cole was BRUTAL. Great Highspots followed by no selling and 12 kicks. It is videogame wrestling. No REALISM. Thats why AJ is the best. He sells his ass off and has great Psychology. Miz is a great Bump and Feed Heel and has excellent character work. He gets all the little invisible details right. The ones Marks just dont see. AJ is the best face and Miz is the best heel

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

@@jayroman1978 scripted super flashy moves, no realism that Bret Hart provided and made you immerse into the world. The crowd wants predictability because it is their way to prove "they matter" lmao. Childish fans

[@IAmDaldondo]

Bro Miz did this unscripted. Godlike.

[@harikumarikc5161]

Thats what I was going to say.

[@zataha3]

Talking smack is the only time they are allowed to be unscripted

[@quanticprophecy]

This is why i love this channel. Do the hard questions, the meta, like asking Jericho why he did a podcast episode breaking down his Dominion match the day after doing it. Going into the reality of why performers do what they do is exactly what i want to watch. Miz be triggered.

[@jamiedale5070]

Miz should be intercontinental champion all the time. He made it matter.

[@beaujacobs8294]

‘He plays the victim better then anyone‘ Completely true,

Man, I can listen to him for hours. One of the best in history of Pro Wrestling, babey! ✊🏻

[@mr.speyside5240]

I’m not familiar with The Miz but his character is awesome! He is great on the mic. So much passion and energy in his character. I’m not sure if that’s truly him or if he is a great method actor.

"Vince McMahon would've been mad if Daniel Bryan punches Miz in the face?" "Really?! Come on!!" 😂🤣💀

[@deborahanderson4436]

God the Miz is amazing!

[@owenbradley726]

Not sure how well this will go down but oh well. The Miz easily top 5 Wwe Wrestlers ever.

[@mfwicbasterd477]

Miz doesn't get the credit he deserves. Dude was a reality TV asshat, and worked his way into being one of the best entertainers in the business. I'm not even a Miz guy, just appreciate what I've seen.

[@samsonmorrell]

The Miz could play Bart Simpson in a real life adaptation of The Simpsons.

[@YOUNGSLIME999]

I dont know if he miz really hates bryan like shown but I have a feeling this man was keeping kayfabe alive in terms of stating real life facts and linking it with the ppv,. If this not true however, either the way the realism seen in this video makes the feud even more exciting.

[@myaccount__7269]

Dinesh Naidu they both don’t like each other. When db was out he said Miz had a soft style and was a crappy wrestler no one would remember. He said that in a shoot interview. Miz def heard it and that was why he went off on him. They work together but they defdont like each other in real life.

[@gregd806]

Life Imitating art imitating life...

[@gardenofwords914]

They probably dislike eachother but not to the extent of hating eachother but jus enough that when you see em tgt, u cud feel the tension

[@jeevesosiris]

Well done for getting The Miz to briefly break character for a while in this interview, its very hard to do.

thing with miz is i hated him at first as im sure most of us did but damn if he did not earn respect from everyone he had go away heat for a while now everyone loves him bravo

Miz: : "I'm better than him (unspoken part: and he knows it). I'm elite." Hmmm...

[@Rocketboy1313]

The Miz is wonderful. Put him in the championship picture.

[@davidberko9379]
