I think The Miz deserves the title after more than a year of improving on everything. If this was two years ago, I would have wanted The Miz fired, but now I'm one of his biggest fans and I hope his title reign last at least two months.

the Miz being champ is a good thing. i wish people stop looking the fact that he came from a reality show. Its look like the same way hardcore mma fans hate how Brock for becoming champ and coming from pro wrestling. Miz worked hard and he earn it by improving and dedication. For me I look as Miz as wrestler not a tv star guyExactly And the irony of the whole thing is when he was actually on the Real World he constantly talked about wanting to be a wrestler and created "The Miz" persona there. I can't understand how someone can hate on a guy accomplishing his dreams. I'd take Miz who actually appreciates the business as opposed to guys who just wrestle for money any day.

i think he should've waited til the end of wrestlemania. i mean, he did just tap out to daniel bryan on multiple occasions not that long ago. i'm glad he's champ, but i don't think it was the right time

Now I never watched the Real World but from what I gather he was the 'breakout star' as it were, the Snooki. 9 out of 10 people in that position would continue to go on show after show and try to get an acting career and portfolio going and basically live off of that reputation to earn paychecks, and instead Miz decides to get the hell kicked out of him training and working the indies with the dream of one day making it to WWE. And he got better and better to the point now where he is one of the best in WWE and deserves to be champion. I think he has a lot of 'cross over' appeal and I think he will end up being a permanent main event fixture for years to come.

Yes....I marked out big time last night. I love the fact that Miz is WWE Champion, while the "Oh, He was on the Real World!" people continue to bitch. Wasn't like he worked and trained for years to get up to the WWE. People act like he was just this shoe-in because he was on TV. Sorry, guy is a star. I don't know what everyone else sees but he's got the look, the ability, and his mic skills are off the chart.
You all knew it was going to happen, was just a matter of time.....But I'm happy.

Meh. I guess WWE needed someone new to hold it until Sheamus wins it back.

Call me a hater, call me what you want, but I will never watch WWE again until Miz loses the belt. I will NEVER accept the WWE champion being the guy who was on Real World and Fear Factor. I'm guessing you didn't accept Jeff Hardy as world champ either Nope, I didn't. Call me a hater, call me what you want, but I will never watch WWE again until Miz loses the belt. I will NEVER accept the WWE champion being the guy who was on Real World and Fear Factor. I hope you don't watch UFC. Wow, really? Joe Rogan was ON Fear Factor? Like, as the host? Come on, man. It's not nearly the same thing. I don't see Rogan even considering being a fighter, let alone given a title. Haha.

I realize that times change. But I wish I had pictures of Stan Stasiak, Bruno Sammartino, Superstar Billy Graham, Bob Backlund & Pedro Morales all giving the facepalm.

Exactly this. Miz has worked in the WWE for SIX year(On TV for Four). He's been built up, got better and better. He's earned his way to the title.

Do you not understand though? He was on REALITY TV... That's... Just horrible. He should probably be put to death for such horrible things and they give him the title? this company. This coming from the guy with Orlando ing Jordan in his sig and avatar. . Not sure if serious, but if you are you're pretty dumb my friend.

What an awesome moment (actually no pun intended)
It's really great to see a guy who has done everything right, and improved himself 100 times over since he debuted. I honestly couldn't stand the Miz when he debuted. I thought he was just another TV star who wanted a piece of the spotlight and couldn't care less about a wrestling career. His awful catchphrases and boring "promo" work were bad enough to go with below-mediocre ring skills...I thought he'd be around for a few and then on the Endeavors list by 2006
Now he is WWE champ. Is one of the best in-ring guys on RAW, has completely turned his career around. Watching him holding that belt last night you could really tell he felt it, it was real emotion...like when Punk won his first title.
Just an awesome moment in the WWE. Looking forward to what they are going to do with him now, I hope he has a decent little title run.

Raw was so damn good last night and the end was amazingly awesome. I got spoiled by going on Facebook first though... damn WWE...
Fantastic Raw, goosebumps and shivers, just a fantastic moment and deserved victory.
And since Morrisons beign Built, I think Miz and Morrison will be the feud of the future, like the Orton/Cenas Rock and Austins. Seriously.

Really glad he won the title. Sure, at least he had a few minutes of wrestling instead of previous cash ins that only lasted 20 seconds each. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I hate to tell you guys this, but Miz isn't all that great at being a champion anyway. Look at when he was United States Champion, H never defended that belt & he had it for more than 4-6 months until Daniel Bryan finally took it away from him & he started to defend it more better.Also, Miz uses people to win championships like he did to Morrison & Big Show, but the Wimpy Wrestling Exaggerators let him do what he wanted him to do & if he loses the WWE Title at either a house show or a ppv, he'll remind me of "Wildfire" Tommy Rich & Lex Luger, a man who held the title for only 5 days & then lose it.. He'll never be a good champion as long that he has his a$$-kisser(Jailbird) Alex Riley to help him to retain the belt & Cole is such a big a$$-hisser to Miz if there was any other & I also wished that they'd just get rid of that damned lap-top & throw it in the trash along w/Cole, b/c he's so annoying as well a pain-in-the-a$$ to boot. I'm not quoting or unquoting anything(like Cole always says & thinks that he's the voice on Raw in which J.R. & "The King" always were be'4 him). But Cole might as well just start to wear a dress, makeup & high heels or leather & become Miz's b*$ch since he's been that ever since that sorry show NXT which in mine & certain others' book is the most sorry show there ever was & always will be. So, good luck on trying to keep that title, Miz, b/c if he loses it back to Orton, Shaemus or whoever (other than Wimpy B*$ch) Wade Barrett, then he'll be the sorriest WWE Chumpion Champion in WWE History ever.

Nahh, He'll probably lose it within a few months, be'4 or after WrestleMania XXVII or if he's drafted to Smackdown (w/o his flunky Riley being up his a$$ all the time as well Michael Cole too), Vickie Guerrero will have him to lose it to either Edge, Swagger or the so-called Chosen-One Drew McIntyre or maybe even Big Show. I just hope that he doesn't lose it to Del Rio. He sucks anyway & he's also another guy who can't wrestle that good too.

Don't get the reality show critique myself. Pretty sure everyone in the WWE has had a job of some description before becoming a wrestler. Unless you want to exclude anyone who wasn't a college athlete, I don't really see the difference.
If you're just looking down on reality TV because you're not a fan, then okay, fair enough. But Miz doesn't do reality TV anymore. He wrestles. So again, don't see the big deal.

Yes! I saw this coming since this morning - actually told my cousin at school today I thought it would happen. First time I've considered it.
And there we go. Was a bit obvious when A-Ry showed up, but that only solidified my opinion in my mind.
