The best at being bad
Trending
I’m not gonna name names, but it’s common knowledge that some of the most famous wrestlers of all time weren’t actually all that exciting at physical wrestling. Some of their moves were slow and boring, like Stone Cold Steve Austin. Some were goofy and ham-fisted, like The Rock. Some were just plain insulting to our intelligence, like Hulk Hogan.
The Miz is a little of all of those things, which almost makes it worse. He doesn’t even have a good finishing move. But, he’s actually the best out of everybody in the entire WWE Universe at something. I mean besides being the best wrestler from Parma, Ohio. Is that even a real place?
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
No, he’s the best as making you hate him. Emoting real emotes and making you do the same. He’s smug, narcissistic, whiney, bratty, dumb, creepy, kind of a sociopath, The dude doesn’t even have a good t-shirt in the WWE Shop Zone!
He’s the best heel working today. He is 100% the bad guy. And he’s so good at it that I bet a lot of you missed the transition. I hate him more now just writing this. Oh, crap, I forgot not to name names.
There are are other heels currently doing the lord’s dirty work but not like Mizzy Smelliot. Kevin Owens is one of the best on the mic, but he’s almost too good. The fans love him. Jericho is doing his best heel work in decades by being the hip/cool 40 something that still goes to Varsity Blues keggers and tries to get his lame-as-hell catchphrases over with kids who don’t remember that during a WCW broadcast when he listed 1,004 holds he could execute.
Roman Reigns might be the only legitimately hated guy in the company, but that’s not by design and it’s not his fault. My friend JC will kill me for this but even Bray Wyatt can’t hit Boss Level Heel because he’s too unfocused and frankly, too lovable.
There’s such a thing as being too good at your job in WWE. If you’re so good at being the bad guy that people start to actually respect you then you’ve gone too far. Nobody respects Mike and that’s where he leaves everyone else in the dust.
Mizzy Stradlin doesn’t fall prey to those pesky fans secretly liking him in spite of his horrible presence and demeanor. He recently got brutally real with WWE’s most universally loved former pro wrestler, Daniel Bryan, last week on Talking Smack. He ripped the heart out of the former WWE Champion like i do to the sleeves of my shirts. I don’t know where that’s going, if it goes anywhere, but it was mean-spirited, born of self-loathing, misguided, and it felt real. I think he really found his acting chops on the set of The Marine 4: Still Marining.
