Jheri Curl vs. Faux-Hawk: the debate rages on. I love the fact that you made this comment while sporting the greasy-hair of Razor Ramon in your sig! ;D And yet, I'm a big fan of The Miz. The debate has me so conflicted!

Saying Miz could replace or usurp Rock is like saying John Cena could replace Hulk Hogan. Not saying he sucks or I dont like him. Just...no way. I think it's more like saying that Zack Ryder could replace Hulk Hogan. And I LIKE The Miz.

Can't see it, myself. I'm not really much of a fan of The Miz anyway, and his 'awesome' schtick bores me. But even if I were a fan, I couldn't imagine him ever being a tenth of what The Rock was.
Rocky got over, once he was allowed to be more like himself, due to the simply overpowering charisma he had. He could have 20,000 people in the palm of his hand, simply by telling them that they were. And even in his Nation heel days, it was clear that the guy was something special.
I've seen no signs at all that The Miz is capable of that sort of progression and development. There's no one in the WWE that is, in my opinion.

I'll probably be flamed for saying this, but I really believe that nowadays WWE has a guy who can replace the Rock as "the most electrifying man in Sports Entertainment". That man is none other than... THE MIZ!!!! Yeah, I'm really saying it. I believe he has what it takes to do it. Am I alone on this one? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Mine is that he's as far from The Rock as far as one could imagine. Just my opinion. He can wrestle and talk loudly. Not inspired talk, just loud yammering with a catchphrase. It's not just like the Rock because the Rock ad libbed and had some funny lines, which made his character what it was.

How can you people say I'm wrong?
You can say "I don't think it will happen", but you can't flat out say "It won't"
I mean, come on, if anybody ever told you Rocky Maivia would be the most electrifying man in sports entertainment back when he debuted, you'd have probably been as skeptical.
Since Miz hasn't had a ME push, nor a face turn after becoming over (don't lie to yourselves, he is), we can't be sure
I'm not saying he's going to be, but I think it is possible to happen.
Also, I never said he would be better or as good as The Rock.
Just that he could become the new "most electrifying man in sports entertainment"
Also, if somebody came up who was actually better than The Rock, most of us wouldn't admit it, just on a nostalgia basis...

I know Rock was great, but I can't help but laugh reading some of the comments. He's a bonafide legend, but the very nature of legends is how they grow past the reality of what they're based on.
Give it a couple of years, and you'll be hearing about how his footsteps rattled the floor beneath him, he could slap his hands together to knock apples out of trees from a mile away, and his voice induced orgasms in a variety of species.

As far as I'm concerned, yes, you are alone on that one. The Miz? Really?

no.
the miz is this era's x-pac. But at least x-pac could wrestle and put on a great match. the miz can talk, but his ring skills aren't very good. I'd compare him more to the honky tonk man. At least honky could wrestle and had some ring psychology.
