but this shit right here was forreal glorious. Miz murked the hell out of Bryan right there. I'm guessing it is one of those things that was worked but worked VERY well because they are both pros. Their history makes it even more fun.

It was super important to have someone like Miz call Bryan out about having to retire. If we're being honest, his retirement WAS at least partially because he wouldn't quit working a jackass style that his head and body in general wasn't cool with. He's basically this generation's Mick Foley except he didn't make an entire main event roster look amazing at the most important time of the company's recent history. He DID help push WWE more towards the indy and Japan dudes who will carry WWE through the next decade, so it isn't like he's just a blip. But hey...dude could've done rando kicks and Joshi submissions and we still would've loved him.

Of course, now it is time to see if WWE can let the follow-ups be as 'pure-looking' and not sterile as this was and go from there with making Miz a straight up star, but forreal this time.
