The fact that The Miz might very well be the best heel in the WWE is so awesome

I don't really agree with this. He's not the greatest but he's vastly improved over the past couple of years

Totally agreeing with this. And Miz fired right back with how Daniel's "not cowardly" style got him an early retirement. That was tense as hell.

His gimmick is "Best Wrestler On Earth And Knows It". Like, he's not Jimmy Bootsntights, he actually has a very distinct personality and cuts great promos and is charismatic. I'm not sure what else you could want.

Uhh, I'm not sure how that is significantly different from, say, Seth Rollins. Or a huge number of heels.

Dudes like CM Punk, Chris Jericho, etc. managed to have some aspects to their gimmick in addition to "best in the world" / "best there is at what I do"

Talking Smack seems to have become the 'Daniel Bryan airs his personal grievances with people/bring up harsh truths while they're live on camera and struggling to find a kayfabe way to react to the poo poo he drops on them' show. It's great

Daniel praised his new belts, dumped on the Universal title

Carmella attacked Nikki

Usos chatted a bit about the tag tournament and dumped on Roman a little

Then Miz came storming onto the set and uh cut one of the best promos of the year, if not last few years

You can kayfabe wave that away as Raw/Smackdown rivalry like Shane and Bryan tweeting that big U title belt they madeto make fun of the universal name but yeah Bryan don't give a gently caress about staying on-message

Between the awesome Carmella attack and the Miz promo, Talking Smack managed to have the hottest angles in WWE right now.

I hope that Miz becomes completely unhinged and tries to prove his worth as a wrestler resulting in calling out the wrong indie dude (Joe) and dying.

If Miz becomes a fighting champ and in a couple months from now calls out someone and like Joe appears and Miz fights valiantly trying to prove his worth in a good match as a heel but gets crushed hard at the end cause Joe is too much beast then it'd be a good end to his reign.

"...you won't be able to walk, if you're always worried about crushing the ants beneath you..."
DB vs Miz was an awesome job by everyone involved. Fairly certain they are just creating buzz to get more eyes on Talking Smack though. Maybe a tad off script but I'm convinced the results were the same. Walk off in anger is the only good result Bryan could get out of that. He being a "GM" now and also a guy they won't allow wrestle. Also, that makes Miz look strong on the mic because he spit fire so hot DB had to leave. Good for both men, really.

Also... Bryan Danielson would mop the floor with Michael Gregory :colbert:

You got worked. They get more creative freedom on SD but that means they get to decide what kind of content to generate and it gets to have a looser feel, but that doesn't mean they're shooting. Miz works heel and nearly always has, and Bryan and Miz have been interacting with each other literally since Bryan's day one in WWE when he was his smug prick of a "mentor" in NXT. Miz is a class act IRL, and the reason his position in the company is so secure is because he does everything right on the PR end. There's no way he'd just haul off on Bryan like that if Bryan didn't give the OK first. He likely told Miz to lay into him that hard.
