** And he's recently made a HeelFaceTurn. Turns out he's pretty good at using the same things that made him annoying as a heel to be absolutely hilarious as a face.

* [[HolyShitQuotient HSQ]]: During one match with KofiKingston, he gets hit with a [[FinishingMove TroubleInParadise]]. This wouldn't be noteworthy if it didn't make an incredibly loud '''THWACK'''. This sound effect wasn't just for show. This causes his head to snap back and it outright [=KO'd=] poor Miz for a while and caused him to bleed a little. You could say it gave him quite the bit of [[IncrediblyLamePun Trouble in Paradise]].

* DracoInLeatherPants: Seriously. {{Smark}}s have a good deal of affection for him, as he's one of the funniest Heels on {{WWE}} programming, and his theme is pretty badass too.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: As are all charismatic {{Heel}}s

* HateDumb: A large portion of the IWC turned on him ''the moment'' he won the WWE Championship. Bear in mind, this is the same IWC that had largely been singing his praises until then.

* BadassDecay. So, so much since losing the WWE Championship. It looked for a while that he would come out of it during his time with [[RonKillings R-Truth]], but after their split, R-Truth is the hotter one of the two.


Added DiffLines:

* HoYay: With Alex Riley and MichaelCole.
** Also with JohnMorrison during their time together as a tag team, even describing their relationship as a bromance.
** And Big Show, to a lesser extent, since he effectively got dragged into TheBigShow & ChrisJericho's own [[HoYay break-up, which saw Jericho acting like the jealous third party]].
* HollywoodPudgy: JohnMorrison has called him fat multiple times, for a while he was very sensitive about his weight.
** Lampshaded by Dolph Ziggler in the Raw before Royal Rumble 2011.

* A good looking JerkJock who's smaller than most wrestlers, who became a world champion and began wearing nice suits and speaking with a CreepyMonotone? Using a full-nelson facebuster as a finisher? These were all accurate descriptions of ChrisJericho.

* [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Crowning Music Of Awwwwwwesoooooommmmmmeeeeee!!!!!!]]: His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUVJvA2Jctw theme]] is pretty cool. That being said, it could change to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nffUCgKoiSY "Hate Me Now"]] (a song so appropriate for Miz, it's not even funny) and nobody would really complain.

The Great Character Alignment Debate. Proper term in context of a wrestling match is \"referee\" not \"GM\".


* ChaoticEvil: Miz and Cena are forced into a title match with the tag champs and win the belts. The former champs demand a rematch immediately and the Raw GM permits it. The Miz can't even wait until their first defense is over before he backstabs Cena and lets the other team regain the belts, costing himself the Tag Team Championship. It's possibly justified in that Miz is already WWE Champion and thus doesn't see much appeal in holding a lesser championship with his ArchEnemy.
** Or as he was so eager to put it, [[InsaneTrollLogic Miz won the tag titles while Cena lost them.]]

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassWoobie: There's really just one time he fit this trope, but it's worth mentioning: the night he cut [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKU_k9mcZsc this promo]]. Despite the fact that he's delivering it in character as a {{Heel}}, a lot of it's a shoot, and JBL would later admit flat out in an interview that he hazed the hell out of Miz back in the day and wasn't the least bit sorry for doing it - because he wanted to see if Miz had what it took to be a part of the locker room.
* MemeticMutation: [[http://i55.tinypic.com/2yvo2h4.jpg This crowd reaction shot of an angry little girl]] after Miz won the WWE Championship has quickly become one.
** AscendedMeme: TheMiz pointed her out the next week as one of the highlights of his reign.
*** She then went on to appear in his "Hate Me Now" promo video at Wrestlemania 27.
*** PromotedFanboy: She won a Slammy for best fan reaction. ThenMiz came out and [[JerkAss taunted her]], stealing her Slammy award in the process.
**** And in line with MeanCharacterNiceActor above, [[http://mizphotos.com/displayimage.php?album=633&pid=76515#top_display_media CROWNING MOMENT OF HEARTWARMING]].
* NightmareRetardant: Despite the MANY Levels in Badass he took, it's just hard for some people to take TheMiz seriously as an intimidating {{Heel}} with the way he carries himself.


Added DiffLines:

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Just look at his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7iP1vjeKIQ first appearance on the A-Show.]] Who would have thought this fool would be cashing in Money in the Bank on RandyOrton four years later to become WWE Champion?

** Which might have worked out pretty well for Riley; he got a HUGE pop on the 5/23/11 RAW when Miz's [[KickTheDog insults and]] [[NeverMyFault blame-shifting]] finally caused him to snap and give Miz a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

* BaseBreaker: Once he won the WWE Championship, the IWC, and to an extent casual fans, promptly split in half, especially considering the nature of how he won it. It doesn't help the fact that those who don't like the fact he's champion are split over those thinking he got his push too early, and those who view it as a personal insult to the wrestling business as a whole.
** ''EARLY''?! He's been with the WWE since mid-2006! Compared to guys like RandyOrton, Sheamus & Jack Swagger he's a late-bloomer!

OneOfUs: In a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon, Miz mentioned being at the Nintendo Championships and getting to the finals. He spoke of the experience with the same sort of enthusiasm as he did about most of the other stuff they talked about during the interview. He brought up a lot of other pop culture stuff as well.
