RIPPA 32,100 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Survivor Series match between the two (starts about 5 minutes in - wacky formatting) MIZ First Round SAMI ZAYN First Round Link to post Share on other sites
The Man Known as Dan 3,677 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This is a very underrated rough matchup for round 2. Zayn was inconsistent this year, but whenever he was given something to do, he generally hit a homer with it. Zayn/Nak, the Zayn/Owens series, and Zayn/Braun did a lot to solidify both as people who are really worth watching. But.... of anyone who has a case for "out of ring work" (Hardys, Jericho), Miz I think had the best year both in and out of ring. As I think about it more, while I understand while he won't win, he's one of the few people I actually buy the argument on why they SHOULD win. Link to post Share on other sites
OSJ 5,416 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Did I just vote for the Miz over Sami Zayn? Why yes, yes I did... I suppose I might spend the afternoon ice-skating around the ninth circle... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Chicken Sandwich Carl 78 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Sami. Voted heart over head. Link to post Share on other sites
(BP) 5,683 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 If Sami had been on Smackdown since last Summer the conversation would be different, but there's no way he's had a better year than Miz. Link to post Share on other sites

Sky Blue Sam 727 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Zayn vs Owens and vs Nak were better than any Miz match in the period, but week to week Miz is a better overall performer Link to post Share on other sites
NikoBaltimore 4,274 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I can't believe I actually voted Miz over Sami. I'm a big fan of Sami but Miz had a banner year. Piranesi nailed it in the first round for why he should win. Link to post Share on other sites
Cristobal 8,239 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Zayn had great matches with Shinsuke Nakamura and Kevin Owens. Miz had great matches with Dolph Ziggler. Miz wins. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
DylanWaco 182 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I really do want Sami Zayn to turn into a good, consistent, tv wrestler. That's the only way he has a shot in WWE long term. He's just not there yet. Link to post Share on other sites
GOTNW 383 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Voted for Miz because he's the one that had actually good matches and also didn't block me on twitter. Quote Zayn vs Owens and vs Nak were better than any Miz match in the period, If great wrestling is a lot of moves immediately followed by no selling pop-ups sure. Link to post Share on other sites

GOTNW 383 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 He complained about someone "stealing" a Blue Thunder Driver from him to which I replied "you got all your moves from Fire Pro". 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, man, I forgot about that. He got rightfully shat on for that line, and that's a pretty good reason to be blocked (you're right though) Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 32,100 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 It's a petty reason to block anyone and I wonder if he blocked Tyson Kidd who rightly pointed out that Sami wasn't Jun Akiyama 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Niners Fan in CT 14,727 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Miz/Dolph career ending match might be better than Zayn/Nakamura. Is that wrong? I feel like it's very close. Either way The Miz character work has been on an all-time great level. His promos and segments on Talking Smack were legendary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
