Also, the blonde hair is definitely a choice 😂 My thoughts as well. At least he said what we all were thinking in the video where he was stealing Blade's gimmick

F*** WWE. As long as the whole promo isn't about them go ahead and take a shot or two. Must feel good.

I have to admit this segment was amusing, though I dunno for the right reasons. Here we have Miro rant about being misused in WWE, never could grab the brass ring, break through the glass ceiling, etc. But then he debuts on AEW as the Best Man for a glorified jobber like Kip Sabian, haha. I tend to think the idea here is that Penelope Ford will be cheating on Kip with Miro and they'll quickly kick Kip to the side to have Penelope with Miro, and thus have a main event act. I was thinking the samething. I like Miro and hate they gave him such a underwhelming debut.

If anyone has the right to bash Vince and Co. it's Rusev/Miro. All he did was get over so many times only for Vince to stomp him out for dumb inane reasons.

I was thinking the samething. I like Miro and hate they gave him such a underwhelming debut. Don't see it as underwhelming, he got his own time and his own promo and everyone went totally nuts for him. I see them as a good team where Sabian could be the fall guy if they lose, and build Miro up as a threat that turns them into a team that can get a ton of wins Miro didn't really have any space to debut into the main title pictures right now imo with Archer and then it feels like Kenny being on the horizon for world and Brodie probably going to face Cody again for the TNT belt later this year. Kip's a smarmy little asshole so him getting a legit bruiser friend is probably gonna be way better than Superbad Squad was, which, was actually getting pretty over before Havoc's stuff came out. Build up, get protected in the tag team scene, maybe get a title shot, heck maybe get a future tag title reign, the tag division is treated as AEW's biggest deal currently, and the matches and confrontations Miro can have there lead to endless possibilities. Miro is a king at being both serious and comedic, that's gonna lend dividends pairing up with someone like Sabian imo.

I tend to think the idea here is that Penelope Ford will be cheating on Kip with Miro and they'll quickly kick Kip to the side to have Penelope with Miro, and thus have a main event act. Sabian is far from a jobber. Jobber as a term is starting to become hyperbolic among wrestling fans. He has a ton of wins this year in both singles and tag. In tag he was actually having a great run until Havoc well, got erased from existence. Miro being his muscle adds legitimacy to the team and also means Miro never has to get pinned if they lose. This is a perfect odd couple high flyer/powerhouse team like Butcher and Blade. It's a great way to introduce Miro and not have him immediately jump into a crowded singles scene as it stands right now. Sabian's a fun character and so is Miro, chemistry will probably be a main selling point to this. Agreed let's not forget Rusev got super over with jobber Aiden English with him. It's all about entertainment and Miro will be very entertaining doing stuff with Kip and in these segments. Just because Kip not at the top of the card and Miro going to do stuff with him. Doesn't mean it can't be fun/good and Miro can still squash people when he wrestlers singles. So I think it's really smart to have Miro do something different. After we just got angry Brodie, Cage, Archer etc characters just come in squash jobbers and lose to Moxley or Cody. Let Miro do stuff with Kip and build him and his character up. No rush to make him solo act in singles being fed to Mox or Cody.

Being a big MLW mark I was kinda disappointed it wasn’t Pillman jr.

I feel like people are overreacting a bit. Miro said two sentences about it, and honestly if anyone deserves to have an Aron Rex style promo on his former employer it's Miro. But he didn't go that far. Imagine getting yourself over, time and again, and being told that you're not actually over because your boss is an imbecile. The dude deserves to rant paragraphs in that ring.
He said 2 lines, kept it short and sweet, and then quickly moved on to sell himself and his affiliation with Kip. It worked.
The only thing not working is that horrible dye job. Have we learned nothing from Blade's awful look?

Awesome. If there’s anyone who deserves to go on a great run in this business after having a rough go of things in WWE after his initial monster push, it’s Miro.

As long as it's not a recurring theme then he of all people deserves to take the shot at WWE. Not sure how smart that is considering where his wife still works though.
I'm more concerned about why he decided to debut wearing pajamas.

I hate that his debut downplays him as much as the WWE did. Come out in a nothing segment and talk about your time in WWE. 0 star debut all around. If you want us to take him seriously, present him as more than another disgruntled WWE guy coming out during a bad comedy segment with the guy who has barely been featured at all the last few months. It's not hard to have him debut in a match or as a mystery partner in a match that means anything or interfere in a match that means anything.

The shot was fine and deserved, he said what he had to and moved on.
The Best Man theme might well work going forward, Miro can be more himself in this storyline with kip short-term.
Long-term i think shortening it to 'The Best' would work also.

Comparing Miro doing one line at the start of his promo to some of the TNA promos 15 or so years ago is ridiculous.
WWE handled Rusev appallingly, perhaps the worst of anyone in the last 2 or 3 years. He got the stupidest shit over constantly and they refused to give him the push he deserved and then it comes out Vince was totally gaslighting him with the fans aren't supporting you, they're laughing at you nonsense.
If anyone was ever in their rights to get some stuff off their chest about WWE it was Miro.
Happy to see him in AEW.

Nah, Cesaro has been over as hell for years and they go out of their way to overlook him. Don't lead with a trope. It's just hacky. Look at how great Brody has been after the Vince parody. I hate Vince more than the next guy, but don't use a platform to make people think about WWE. Show them why they're wrong and that will be what people talk about. Most people already knew Rusev was misused, so where does him stating it get him?
