"He came along way from being a complete joke to being a perfectly acceptable wrestler with some great matches sprinkled in, and quite frankly, not very much bad stuff after his initial run. The Bryan and Ziggler feuds are some of the memorable stuff the 'E has churned out in the last 10 years, and Miz plays his role perfectly in both."

One of the all time great Intercontinental Champions in the history of our sport, if not THE greatest. Single-handedly made a low tier belt must-see television and his promo on Talking Smack is still amazing six years later.

However, suffers from being pretty bad at the beginning of his career.

I would agree but I think Miz is a quick learner in that aspect. In about a year or so of being around as a tangible member of the roster (I.E. not just doing dark matches or jobbing) he's already doing his very entertaining Dirt Sheet work with Morrison down in ECW and beyond, even if it wouldn't exactly result in the greatest of quality matches. 

Don't think he was ever going to be a all-star athlete, but I do think he learned quite quickly what his role was and performed it considerably well. 

 

His rivalry with Dean Ambrose for the IC title in the first half of 2017 is pretty good. I would specially recommend the january SmackDown match, and, ironically, the "title changes hands via DQ" at Extreme Rules. I still don't get how they made that gimmick work but they absolutely did; both are great matches. The GBOF one was lame, though, but overall they had surprisingly good chemistry.
