5 Reasons why The Miz is the best Intercontinental Champion in recent memory

#4 Perfect understanding of character

Less spots, more storytelling makes The Miz special

As Stunning Steve Austin and The Ringmaster, Steve Austin was always a good worker but little else. It’s only when he discovered his true character... that of the Texas Bad Ass, that he ascended to the top of the pro wrestling world.

The Miz understands his role and plays it to absolute perfection. At a time when WWE has an entire Cruiserweight Division devoted to spots and flips, The Miz is a storyteller and hence, he stands out!

Each Miz match has heat, and it just makes the Intercontinental Championship seem that much more relevant. The stakes are raised every time, because of the Miz understanding his part, and telling a story that makes us care about the match that we are watching.
