==History==
===Formation and WWE Tag Team Champions===
On the November 16, 2007 edition of ''SmackDown!'', ECW superstars and then-rivals John Morrison and The Miz were paired to face [[Matt Hardy]] and [[Alvin Burke, Jr.|Montel Vontavious Porter]] (also known as MVP) in a match for the [[WWE Tag Team Championship]] and subsequently won after MVP turned on Hardy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/11162007/|accessdate=2008-08-09|date=2007-11-16|last=DiFino|first=Lennie|title=Survival techniques|publisher=[[World Wrestling Entertainment]]}}</ref> After winning the title, Morrison and Miz brought the title to the ECW brand. When they won the WWE Tag Team Championship, the two were no longer portrayed as enemies, but rather as trusting friends. They would defend the title on numerous occasions on both ''ECW'' and ''SmackDown'' as well as multiple pay-per-views against the likes of [[Shannon Moore]] and [[James Yun|Jimmy Wang Yang]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/archive/01082008/|title=Retaining gold|date=2008-01-08|last=Medalis|first=Kara A.|accessdate=2008-08-11|publisher=WWE}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/05022008/|title=Championship Friday|date=2008-04-02|last=Passero|first=Mitch|accessdate=2008-08-11|publisher=WWE}}</ref>, [[Jesse and Festus]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/03212008/|title=Full Moon Con-Chair-To|date=2008-03-21|last=Passero|first=Mitch|accessdate=2008-08-11|publisher=WWE}}</ref> and [[Tommy Dreamer]] and [[Colin Delaney]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/archive/03042008/|title=Sense of entitlement|date=2008-03-04|last=Rote|first=Andrew|accessdate=2008-08-11|publisher=WWE}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/archive/03112008/|title=Tables, Helmets and Champions|date=2008-11-03|last=Medalis|first=Kara A.|accessdate=2008-08-11|publisher=WWE}}</ref> The team's gimmick was further expanded upon when they were given a show on WWE.com called ''The Dirt Sheet'', which later became the most popular show on the website.

===Various feuds===

After losing the tag titles, Morrison and Miz entered a feud with ECW newcomers [[Matt Sydal|Evan Bourne]] and [[Richard Young (wrestler)|Ricky Ortiz]], who they had previously mocked (and continued to do so) on the Dirt Sheet, as well as an Internet-centered feud with Raw's [[Cryme Tyme]] based on which WWE.com online show was the best (between the Dirt Sheet and Cryme Tyme's "Word Up"). Morrison and Miz won a match between the two teams at [[Cyber Sunday (2008)|Cyber Sunday]], which was voted for by fans. Throughout October, the team mocked [[D-Generation X]], using such phrases as "Are you 50?" instead of the usual "Are you Ready" to mock their ages due to DX being formed in 1997, when both Morrison and Miz were in high school.

On the October 28 edition of ''ECW'', their feud with DX continued as they mocked them after a live Dirt Sheet and then proceeded to attack two impostors playing [[Shawn Michaels]] and [[Triple H]]. On the [[WWE Raw#Special episodes|800th episode
celebration of ''Raw'']], Morrison and Miz competed against and lost to DX. During the match, they mocked DX's signature moves, with Morrison successfully performing a [[superkick]] (a mock to Michaels' [[Shawn Michaels#In wrestling|Sweet Chin Music]]) on Triple H as well as The Miz attempting a [[Triple H#In wrestling|Pedigree]] on Triple H but failed to perform it. After defeating Cryme Tyme once again, Morrison and Miz were part of [[John Layfield|John "Bradshaw" Layfield]]'s team at the annual [[Survivor Series (2008)|Survivor Series]] but they lost to the team of Shawn Michaels.
