To be honest, there are a lot of similarities. Rocky was never a technical master, and I'd say he and Miz are about the same as far as wrestling technique.
They both can get the crowd to "Sing along with The Rock/Miz" with their catchphrases, even though they're blatant heels.
They both started out as annoying faces that got booed out of the arena by marks ("Rocky sucks!" chants, and the boos when Miz still did the 'Hoo-ah' yells like a 'tard even though he was never in the military)
Miz's battles with Cena actually reminded me of the electricity Rock brought to the main event scene when he started to get pushed. Even though Miz was squashed in the feud, it was easily the most interesting Cena's been all year long post-'Mania, IMO.

Hes the typical wrestler who despite having a moveset as broad as Cena smarky fans tend to like because he blatantly makes fun of Cena and is a cocky prick. He says the same thing over and over again never really proving a point and isn't very impressive physically.
So no he could never reach The Rock's status.

I don't think so, because he's a douche. Rock was cool, he wasn't a douche. Sure, he was a huge heel, and was a real dick, but he wasn't a goofy tool-ish character. I don't see Miz ever being ever to pull off actually being cool, he's better as the guy who thinks he's cool but he's a huge tool. I'm a Miz fan, but he's not the next Rock.
Pope D'Angelo Dinero is though.

Actually your points on the miz kinda sounds a pre "the rock" rocky mavia

Yup, not seeing that at all. Miz is a decent guy who I think is about the level he'll stay. He may ascend a little higher, but I can't EVER, ever seeing him rising to Rock level.

He buys the rest of his buddies gold watches, then gives Farooq a signed picture of himself. He then rises to the top by being the Corporate champion, talks down to the fans, cheats, and also bullies interviewers. Hell, even after he was a face, he treated Coach, Cole, and Kevin Kelly like crap. Did this work for him? Yeah. Was he cool? Of course. But these are pretty douchey actions, character wise, don't you think?

No way in hell.
The Rock, Dwayne Johnson - whatever you want to call him nowadays - was better than Miz ever could be.
Miz is entertaining, and I like him - but first off he is built like a little fireplug midget. Hell, you could have given Chris Benoit the Rock's charmisa (sic) and he'd still be a little tiny midget. The Rock was like Hogan on the mic, and Hogan in the ring.

It's remarkable because if this thread happened 2-3 years ago, this poor guy would have gotten flamed, several people would have banned and I would have made some off-handed comment about why we need to go back celebrating Washington and Lincoln's birthdays separately.

The Miz really came a long way here. At first he wasn't that good at anything. Remember when he used to struggle on the mic to get his lines right. But ever sense he teamed with Morrison he really came into his own. His mic work got a whole lot better. He had more of a character then just an anoyying reality TV star.
Now he is a solid worker and a good talker. Plus a great crowd worker. Will he be the next Rock? Time will tell. I don't think he ever be that big but MEer I can see if given the chance. He will be harder for him as the WWE is not given chances as much as they used too. Which is a shame because I do think The Miz would be a good feud for a Face champion. Same as I see Morrison as a good ME face against a good heel. We know what he do against Punk.
I don't see what once was a awesome team as a Rocker situation. Both me have the it to be the future of the WWE.

Mock away, buddy, but you can't argue with results. It's up there with "KENNEDY" as far as "wait, the fans love this" when it was supposed to be grating and piss them off. I think Rock has skeletons in his closet far worse than fauxhawks, friend. ;D

Cornette: "I'm only gonna ask you this once. Do you know what happened to the streamers for Marc Mero's birthday party? They were blue and teal. The Rock: "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....nope. Haven't seen 'em."
