When it comes to mic skills, Rock is the man on the poster.

Many superstars have had awesome mic skills: Austin, Hogan, etc... but nobody had a crowd in the palm of his hands during a promo like The Rock. He had countless catchphrases, quips, and poses, and the fans knew everyone of them. It's not often you can get damn near every person in the arena to shout out a phrase in unison like they are singing.

With that said, it's a shame The Rock was never fully embraced as a cult-like hero. The fans would NEVER turn on Austin. They NEVER turned on Hogan. But for some reason, they would get funny on The Rock, like they did several times throughout his career by chanting "rocky sucks", even when he was a face.

But when it came to working the mic, I don't think anyone has surpassed Rock.
