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

#1 Charisma and confidence

Enter capti — *It ain't cocky if you back it up!*

There is a fine line between being arrogant and being confident. We, as wrestling fans, have all seen plenty of wrestlers come along, get a small taste of fame and then turn into egotistical maniacs, which are very hard to get behind and support.

However, there are a select few who hone their skills, get a feel for the fan base and as they get better, their confidence rises. The Miz and The Rock are both prime examples of the later.

Both Rocky and The Miz had humble starts in the WWE. Early on, it appeared they both may have some trouble getting to the top. But as they continued to improve, their confidence grew and that would eventually help them grow into top-tier Superstars.

The Miz is one of the most charismatic Superstars in the world right now. He knows his worth as a performer in this era and he lets us, the WWE Universe know that he is well aware of that. However, he still doesn't cross the line as far as allowing his ego to over-inflate. The Miz has developed a strong following, even as a heel. His confidence has a lot to do with that.

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.
