WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures Reveals Miz’s Epic Journey into The Rock’s Persona
In a recent episode of WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures on A&E, the spotlight was on none other than The Miz, who shared a fascinating story about his transformation into The Rock.
In the video, The Miz recalls the time when he was asked to impersonate The Rock, a task he initially found daunting due to the stark physical differences between them. Despite his doubts, he was instructed to walk out as The Rock, complete with a bald cap and oiled arms.
To his surprise, the crowd erupted in cheers, fully believing that The Rock had made an appearance. It was only when he removed his sunglasses that the audience began to realize the truth. Despite the initial deception, the crowd’s reaction was overwhelmingly positive, marking a turning point in The Miz’s career.
The Miz also shared a memory of a promo he cut on The Rock and John Cena, which helped establish his presence in the WWE. The Rock himself called The Miz the next day to commend his performance, further validating his efforts.
The video also features a glimpse into The Miz’s first-ever suit for his talk show, Miz TV, complete with a sewn-in hood. The suit and script for the first episode of Miz TV are treasured mementos from his journey in the WWE.
