Superstar(s) of the Year: The Miz and John Morrison- my reasoning behind this is because this tag team is the only tag team worth typing about.  These two have been through so much.  John Morrison was a Tough Enough winner and, like American Idol, people were getting tired of all of the winners and not giving them the time of day.  Do you remember Maven?  Didn't think so.  Johnny Nitro came in and was a "flash in the pan."  Then he was teamed with MNM, which was a great gimmick and won countless titles.  Soon he broke from MNM and went solo.  Here is where the respect for him came in.  He took Chris Benoit's place for the ECW title match.  They booed, he overcame, they still booed and even when he beat CM Punk, they hated him even more.  Now as John Morrison he has become one of the greats.  I did like the hint of becoming the next Shawn Michaels.  I see greater things for him in 2009, maybe even saving Micahels in a match to turn him face. 

The Miz is even a bigger story.  Think about yourself as a child dreaming of what you wanted to be when you grew up.  I wanted to be an astronaut.  That didnt happen.  But with Mike Mizanin, his dream did come true.  He was on the Real World stating that it was a dream to be a WWE wrestler.  He paraded around the house as "The Miz" and wrestled everyone, despite their snickers and behind-the-back negative comments of immaturity.  When he popped up at the last attempt at a Tough Enough I was freaking out that he was there and that he was living the dream.  I voted for him a lot but he lost out to Daniel Pewter (Spelling not withstanding, he didn't last too long for me to even remember how).  Then he became the "Host" of Smackdown and then a wrestler.  How cool is that?  He had a dream and went for it and now he is a multiple tag team champion.  It also is a plus that he is from Parma (Cleveland, OH area) and I am from Cuyahoga Falls.  I was at Unforgiven when he was in the scramble and rooted for him to at least get a pin fall (that didnt happen) but I am extremely proud for him.  The ultimate for me was to see him have an action figure.  I ran over to my wife to show her that Miz action figure and said, "I wonder if he is freaking out that he is an action figure now?"  I mean going from a no one with a dream to a Tag Team Champion?  Way to go Miz. 

BE JEALOUS? I am.
