Enter — He's The Miz and he is indeed AWESOME!

#4 Premier talker

"When my hand goes up, your mouth goes shuts!"

It takes a special type of individual to stand in front of an audience of millions of complete strangers and, deliver a promo. Both The Miz, as well as The Rock are among two of the very best talkers of all-time.

Yes, I feel confident enough in what The Miz has done up to this point in his career, when it relates to promo skills, that I absolutely consider him to be among the most elite talkers the sport has ever known. With that said, I am certainly not comparing Miz to the likes of Jake Roberts, or Kevin Sullivan or even Arn Anderson, when it comes to his mic work. But, he is better than the average-to-above-average talker.

The Miz has that unique ability which very few have, that allows him to control an audience with words. It's not always the actual words he speaks, but instead, it's his delivery that makes his work so good.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
