The Miz- "The future of RAW"?

[Tvfan24/7]

I found this piece that Wrestlezone reported interesting:

According to several sources within WWE, Michael Cole's PPV commentary tonight about The Miz being "the future of Raw" was a directed line from Vince McMahon, and was a specific line the company will be building on.

The Miz is seen by McMahon as a reliable workhorse, and is making the most of his push by doing as many media days and corporate appearances as possible. Miz has campaigned to be recognized as a "go-to" guy by McMahon, and is now starting to get the rewards of his appearances, media talks, and willingness to devote so much of his time to the company. One person I spoke with said it's the very same way John Cena got over with Vince McMahon, and the similarities are uncanny. "McMahon didn't like Cena at first, but Cena just worked harder than anyone else and won him over with a tireless work ethic," I was told. "The Miz is doing the exact same thing."

I guess he'll be a future world champion then. He already won the RAW MITB match.

ugh!

He may be "a good worker" but his gimmick is old and lame. He's been doing this "gimmick" since 98 when he was on "The Real World"

WWE.....you're making it easier for me to miss a show

I can see this as right now the lineup is pretty week. He has a catch phrase that the fans latch on to, I guess that would put him on path for the title.

How about Kane winning the Smackdown MITB and cashing it in on a vulnerable Mysterio to win the title? I didn't see that coming.

As soon as Kane won I figured he'd cash it in after the main event. Rey is hurt (legit) and needs surgery (again) so lets put it on someone new for now.

Why else would Kane run off Swagger after his match?

I don't mind the Miz either. He's improved a lot over the last year or so. When he first started out I couldn't stand him.
