Miz isn't a main eventer. You aren't buying a PPV to see him. He's a great performer and I think has the potential to be a main eventer if booked right, but sorry, he's losing matches to Jerry Lawler. No one is taking him serious and you aren't selling PPVs with a guy like that in the main event. Just because you throw someone in the main event and/or put a title on them doesn't make them a main eventer.
As to pointing to a time when you had an appropriate number of main eventers, you can probably say a couple years ago. You had Cena, Orton, HBK, HHH, Jericho, Undertaker, and Edge. Over half those guys are gone now and they haven't replaced them with anyone.
Everyone saw this coming as their stars were aging and they refused to build up anyone new. Now they are stuck with Del Rio and Miz in their two main event matches at Wrestlemania. It's safe to say this will have a historically low buyrate.
