100% of my reaction is sadness that Aiden English wasn't there. Maybe he will be The Best Man of The Best Man? That's what I'm expecting first things first.

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? Cesaro should have been treated better but Rusev was much more over than Cesaro. Nah I have no issue with it, they probably told him to go out there and get things off his chest. And he did it, and it took about 10 seconds then he moved onto his AEW stuff. I have no issue whatsoever with it.

His promo was only a minute anyway. As they say, you only get one chance to make a first impression and Miro's first impression in AEW is about his time in WWE. It would have been much better if he just avoided the tired trope, or at least don't lead with it. It's so lame.

I dunno man, you work for a company for ten years, get close to nowhere, be told you aren't over and the fans are just cheering you out of spite, and you tell me you don't wanna go off just a bit when you're finally free. Also I don't know what you were listening to that the WWE shot was his first impression, but for me it was him basically saying "I'm Miro, I destroy people, and I'm All Elite", very simple and very effective and a good way for Sabian to gloat that he has a bruisng best friend now. Idk, people are overreacting way too hard on this imo and it's kind of crazy. I get criticism but as some have said has TNA made people this jittery when it comes to mentioning another company? AEW mentions every company in the world in different ways, hell they have an NWA Women's Title match next week. They don't act like other companies don't exist good or bad.

I mean, I’m not crazy about it, but fans tend to eat this stuff up with a spoon, so I don’t know. It’s kind of in the same territory as heeling out on the local sports team for me.
But you know, Miro’s gonna do his thing his own way with a company all the way behind him, and hopefully it’s going to be great for him.

He’s a definitely a good signing, but they really need another show or something to get all of these dudes on tv. Sooner rather than later. And with Miro signed, how soon will it be before Lana joins? Hopefully, mostly as a manager and not as a wrestler. Well, that segment went from zero to Miro real quick. Funniest part is is that now Lana will likely get a ridiculous offer from the WWE to do nothing. Doubt she takes it but I can see Vince’s crazy old ass offering stupid money

Great to see Miro but I thought the segment itself was pretty bad. Just kind of beat the one, "Oh, I meant you're the best, man," gag that wasn't really good to begin with into the ground and then Miro's promo just seemed kind of rambling and aimless.

I think he has potential as Sapien's BFF.
Even though Kip isn't exactly a huge star, I can see them having chemistry. Especially if they play up the whole Twitch gamer thing.

I didn't give a shit about Kip before (mostly liked 'cause Penelope) but ever after these news, he is starting to gain some status especially if there's a huge twist at the wedding!

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. Being paired with someone like Sabian who hasn't been treated like a big deal in AEW is very underwhelming to me. Miro may bring Sabian up or Sabian my drag him down, who knows.

Dude is flat out the most talented guy that WWE dumped unceremoniously after years of shabby treatment. He's a hell of a get for AEW and getting pissy about the one completely justified shoot comment he made is nitpicking of the worst kind.

Question for American Viewers: What's the hottest soap drama on TNT if there is one? Need this for predicting future Miro sidegigs.

I've just never been a fan of "my old company sucked" promos. It always makes the promotion doing it come off petty. I know there's often real emotion behind it, but it's a wet blanket to me as a viewer.
Plus like with the Punk in 2011 thing, for me it's too fourth wall breaking. I don't wanna hear "I wasn't booked well even though I'm a great performer" stuff from a star debuting somewhere new, it takes me out of the show. It should be more "I'm gonna beat up all of you."

I mean to me I don't have much of a problem with "I was held back" narratives because real fighting companies like UFC and boxing promoters do shit like that all the time.

See. Beyond the WWE shot, I just felt like the promo wasn’t good. Rambling and the delivery wasn’t great.
That and being paired with a guy that can barely get off Dark most weeks? Ehhhhhh. Lets see how this plays out. If they bring in Aiden English and it’s just the Rusev day thing again but with Sabian bouncing around. I’ll pass. No thanks.
