History Awesome / TheMiz

* Miz vs Mysterio, RAW 7/25/11. Holy crap, who thought Miz had a match like that in him?

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKU_k9mcZsc This promo]]. A lot of it is a shoot, and it stands as one of the best promos the Miz has ever given, and a testament to the amount of hazing and humiliation he had to endure to get to where he is now.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhWsDTexJuQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=396s TLC 2010]]. After a long and grueling battle, The Miz manages to hang onto his WWE Championship against an enraged Randy Orton with not just one, but TWO of the most dastardly and underhanded ways possible. And both of them involving his manservant A-Ry getting arbitrarily used as a punching bag. Surely a Crowning Moment of AWE-Some.
* The first match of 2011 was The Miz vs JohnMorrison. It was so AWEEE~EEESOME that a few are saying that it could be a possible Match of the Year candidate!

---> '''The Miz''': Hello, Rock. We haven't been properly introduced. I'm The Miz - the WWE Champion and star of Wrestlemania. ''You'', on the other hand, are only the ''host'' of WrestleMania, so you should [[BorrowedCatchphrase know your role]] and be the [[TakeThat best Ryan Seacrest that you can be!]] ...And if you have the guts to show up to RAW or Wrestlemania, let me tell you ''exactly'' what will happen. I will take your [[FascinatingEyebrow little eyebrow]], your [[LargeHam 45 catchphrases]], your [[CoolShades sunglasses]], [[WrestlingFamily your father, your grandfather,]] roll 'em up into a ball, flip it sideways, [[AssShove and stick it STRAIGHT UP YOUR]] [[BorrowedCatchphrase CANDY-ASS!!]] [[CatchPhrase Because I'm The Miz, and I'M...]]

** Then he ''stops'' mid-sentence and turns to look at Cena, who is still trying to pick himself up off the ground. He drags Cena to his feet and plants him with a Skull Crushing Finale. Then he stands over Cena, rips off one of his armbands and chucks it, flails his arms a couple of times. Then he '''drops the fucking People's Elbow on John Cena,''' picks up the mic, and rounds off the promo and the show by roaring one final word: [[CatchPhrase AAAAAAAAWWWWWWEEEEEEESSSSSOOOOMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!]]
* The Miz was the first wrestler in ''2 years'' to hold the WWE Championship for more than 100 days. That has to say something.

* YourMileageMayVary on whether being only the third heel to win a main event match at Wrestlemania qualifies due to the mediocre match and awful booking that surrounded his victory, but the amazing video package that detailed his rise to stardom amidst footage of HulkHogan, RicFlair, StoneColdSteveAustin, and TheRock was among the very best the production team has ever done. [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome This was followed by Miz and Alex Riley busting out of inflatable AWESOME letters on the stage and doing his trademark entrance pose amidst a shower of fireworks.]]

* In his rematch for the WWE Championship against JohnCena, he actually managed to kick out of [[FinishingMove The Attitude Adjustement]] when John was in full blown [[BoringInvincibleHero SuperCena mode]]. In fact, Miz actually went on to pin Cena, but the ref, in a brief moment of competence, realized The Miz used the belt as a weapon and disqualified him.
* Having a good Match with Jerry Lawler, in 2011!

* Moz vs Mysterio, 7/25/11. Holy crap, who thought Miz had a match like that in him?

* Nearly winning the titular ladder match at ''Money In the Bank 2011'' for a second year in a row? Why is this a CMoA? Because he spent most of the match in the back after ''[[{{Determinator}} dislocating his kneecap]]'', hobbled down the ramp to the ring while everyone else was on the ground, and in that short window, nearly managed to take the briefcase out from under the noses of seven other competitors.

* The April 4 episode of RAW shows that Miz at least has major cajones by [[MuggingTheMonster coming out and trolling]] ''StoneColdSteveAustin''. He even managed to get away without getting Stunnered! Alex Riley... not so lucky, but [[AlasPoorScrappy who cares about him]].

* The 3-7-11 RAW. JohnCena is continuing the verbal feud between himself and [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]] - which essentially means that Miz, in-universe, has been DemotedToExtra despite being schedule to headline WrestleMania in a match with Cena for the WWE Championship. Miz, naturally, is [[DudeWheresMyRespect less than thrilled about this,]] so he ostensibly decides to boycott RAW until his WrestleMania match, or when people start paying attention to him instead of Cena/Rock. Until Cena tries to cut the promo at the end of the show. In comes Miz out of nowhere, bashes Cena's face in with the championship belt, and follows that shocking action with a blistering promo.

* Having a match against DanielBryan on the last RAW before Elimination Chamber 2011, and after getting his ass kicked in all of their other matches, he finally managed to get a decisive clean win against him.

** More importantly, it was for all intents and purposes Miz's first clean win as champion. While Alex Riley would ''try'' to get involved, Morrison just kicked his ass after the first couples of minutes, forcing Miz to win all by himself.

* First and most significantly: cashing in his MITB contract on RandyOrton and becoming the new WWE Champion!
