** As of July 23, 2011, he's also gotten a BIG SHIFT. He's gained more of an edge and lost most of his plain vanilla straights by showing his backbone (in the sense that he wouldn't be known for kissing [[Vince McMahon]]'s ass after the end of his match with [[CM Punk]] in Money in the Bank 2011), actually calling out on Vince for all the crazy stuff that's going on, and is also more about getting a fair fight even if people try to screw things up.

** And then those fans who hadn't been convinced by the inferno match soon rallied to his side after his Wrestlemania XXIII match against Benoit, where MVP displayed a surprising aptitude for mat wrestling he hadn't shown before. This match was a lot better than MVP's debut outing against Marty Garner at No Mercy 2006, which sparked the "if [[Chris Benoit]] couldn't pull a good match out of him" train of thought in the first place.

* When [[The Miz]] came to the WWE, he was a very annoying Diva Search host who was so bad that he was blatantly reading his lines off his arms. Most felt that he hadn't paid his dues and was only there because of his [[The Real World|Real World]] "fame". When he was put in the ring, he wasn't very good at that either. He started to show mild improvement as he got drafted to ECW, but most felt that the TV time should have gone to anyone more talented. Case in point, he was voted to be [[CM Punk]]'s challenger for the ECW title at Cyber Sunday because the [[Genre Savvy]] fans knew that Miz would never win the ECW title. His rescue would start when he and [[John Morrison]] were randomly thrown together and won the WWE Tag Team titles on their first night as a team. A few weeks later, WWE.com posted the first [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfJU4-r0tSU ''Dirt Sheet''] and [[The Miz]] and Morrison duo became a sensation almost overnight. The Dirt Sheet videos coupled with Miz's drastic improvement in the ring while tagging with [[John Morrison]] turned Miz from a [[The Scrappy|Scrappy]] to a possible future main-eventer, United States Champion, and Money in the Bank ladder match winner who ultimately cashed in said briefcase on November 22, 2010 to become [[Small Name, Big Ego|the most must-see]] '''[[It's All About Me|WWE Champion]]''' [[Small Name, Big Ego|in history]] [[Catch Phrase|because he's the Miz and he's AWESOME!]]
