The Cashbox: Three Reasons To Turn The Miz Babyface

December 7, 2011

#2. Has Crowd Responsive Catchphrases

If you have great catchphrases that spark reactions and participation from live crowds, you're already ahead of the curve. This is one of the easiest tools to use when attempting to make a transition from heel to babyface. The fans want to feel involved with the stars and this is one way they can.

"Really?" is one that will definitely work the same, regardless of whether Miz is a heel or babyface. The arrogance associated with his "I'm Awesome!" chant is a little more "heelish", but that can be worked around. Fans will happily finish that line even louder once they are fully behind him as a good guy.

I'm not saying that just because he has a couple catchphrases that prompt a reaction from the crowd, he must turn face. Rather, it will make the transition easier if and when he does actually make the turn.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
