SvR 2009 Countdown 36: The Miz and John Morrison

[Sunny]

If you ask self-proclaimed chick magnet The Miz, all the ladies want him and all the guys want to be him. And, quite frankly, it's hard to argue otherwise.

A devoted WWE fan his whole life, Mike "The Miz" Mizanin competed on the fourth season of "Tough Enough" in hopes of winning a contract to become a WWE Superstar. After finishing as the runner up, The Miz didn't give up on his dream and continued to train once the "Tough Enough" competition ended. Now, his hard work is being rewarded as the reality TV alum with the frat boy looks, sophomoric humor and explosive intensity is living out his dream as a Superstar on ECW.

The Miz was first introduced to TV audiences as one of the seven strangers on "The Real World: Back to New York," the 10th season of MTV's popular and groundbreaking reality show. Since then, The Miz has certainly made his rounds on the reality TV circuit. He's been on four seasons of the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge," "The Inferno," "The Gauntlet," "Battle of the Network Reality Stars," and recently as a competitor on a special edition of "Fear Factor."

Alongside John Morrison, The Miz won the WWE Tag Team Championship, defeating Montel Vontavious Porter & Matt Hardy on SmackDown. Since, the duo has dominated WWE's tag team division.

John Morrison endured a personal evolution of sorts after capturing the vacated ECW Championship at Vengeance: Night of Champions. The Tuesday Night Delight, formerly known as Johnny Nitro, officially renamed himself John Morrison, his given birth name, on the historic July 17, 2007, edition of ECW. Morrison had reached the peak of his fame with the ECW Championship and he believed he could "be himself" from that point, forward.

Shortly thereafter, Morrison found unexpected success alongside another brazen, rising star in the Land of the Extreme, The Miz. The unlikely tandem secured the WWE Tag Team Championship on SmackDown territory following the unique talent exchange arrangement between SmackDown and ECW managing officials. The Shaman of Sexy's vanity reached new heights, much like his sports-entertainment career.

And Morrison has good reason to be confident. He has never been too far away from gold since his debut in 2005, capturing tag team gold as well as the Intercontinental Championship. The Shaman of Sexy was ultimately drafted to ECW during the 2007 Supplemental Draft on WWE.com, and his career was given new life. As the world can now see, Morrison has taken full advantage of his extreme home, and ECW may never be the same.

Alongside, the Miz, John Morrison won the WWE Tag Team Championship, defeating Montel Vontavious Porter & Matt Hardy on SmackDown. Since, the duo has dominated WWE's tag team division.

NOTES: Wow, of all the people I expected there to be entrance attires for John Morrison and The Miz would certainly come in mind. Now seriously, Morrison without his jacket doesn't fit perfectly in the game if u ask me. It takes out of his individuality from his entrance when the wind effect comes. The tag-team finisher isn't to my liking either as it's the same as Batista's and Rey. I say both of their in-game attires are looking pretty damn good though.

Yeah they look good but they're too generic. That was clearly a 'Tag Team 01' kind of entrance and no sunglasses/fur coat on Morrison makes me upset.

I need to see Morrison's solo entrance with wind machine and everything.

Also Royal Rumble arena is totally wrong.

[r-ratedsupastar]

dont blame thq, blame ign for making the arena wrong . and putting them as a tag team video together.

the thing with miz/morrison that i have noticed is that they seem to alternate how they enter the ring as a tag-team. i think that when the events are strapped for time (like raw or ppvs) they just make them both come out to morrisons music but when they are tagging in main events on ecw they make seperate entrances.

so i guess (for me at least) that they can at least have their proper intro by changing their stable from tag-team to alliance.

it does suck that they didnt have entrance attires...i'm thinking that edge is going to be without the jacket AGAIN this year.
