One of my favorite parts of the show tonight was how they teased what we can all see coming - Miro destroying Kip and starting his path of destruction. Dude has become so unhinged lately and has been protected perfectly thus far. Haven't been a fan of everything he's done but this is the perfect way to complete the transition.

Miro's been really good at ramping up how ultra deranged he is the last month or so it's been great. It really reminds me of that time in fall 03 where Lesnar was just a deranged cruel monster heel, I think Miro could pull off that kind of character well if they go all out with it. Like the week after he turns on Kip and brutalizes him he does something like this  |

"When that bell rings, I dont care about you, I dont care about your wife, I don't care about your family drama, I want to be world champion."
F***ing amazing. I like how the story is even echoing the sentiments of the people, "Miro's better than this, Kip is holding him back", it's literally happenin before your eyes and it's great. Miro knows by now he is above this. What's turned into a favor for Kip is turning into an annoyance for him, and he is this close to snapping.
Miro might have not started out great for some here but he has hit his stride and then some.

Once they got away from video game references for their own sake and got into who Miro is as a person, he has shone.
(Kind of a running thing: a gimmick is only as good as the characterization that it facilitates.)
Miro is embodying one of the worst kinds of people, and I love it.

This was low key one of the best written segments.
Set a lot about Kip, Miro,their friendship, calling back to Miro's past and foreshadowing the future

It just shows how much AEW pays attention. This is that tweak that AEW does, where they actually care what fans say. Miro is looking like a monster emerging, and killing Kip is him crossing the threshold to a higher push.
Miro is legitmately scary now. He feels like he could shoot kill people.

I actually think the Kip pairing helps stand that out Kip is very much an impressive "regular guy". He has a good build but nothing you wouldnt see at a gym, he is a bad guy but he is more of a douche than evil. Now Miro? He would overshadow Kip in all those points, Miro looks like he is pure muscle, Miro is straight up evil and selfish. He is like when a series has that starting villain and later our pairs him with a new villain to show how much more evil the new villain is. (think DCAU with Gorilla Grodd and Lex Luther, Xiaoling Showndown with Jack Spicer and pretty much any other villain, Thanos with Loki,etc) |

I love Miro, and he seems like a total sweetheart in real life, but, he is genuinely extremely intimidating right now, his body language is unreal.
I think that once Kip accidentally punched Miro at the wedding, who just seethed at him, he's been one of the best things about the shows.
Furthermore, credit to Kip for selling the fear, and Penelope for really radiating distrust and resentment of Miro after he's been positioning himself between her and Kip, like telling her to stay out of the ring when they won on Elevation.

Miro & Kip are going to lose and Miro is going to respond by cutting off one of his fingers.

I'm really digging the subtle storytelling for this. Same. I like how for the most part this has been Miro just not taking Chuck or OC seriously but both have pissed him off a bit more and more to where he wants to destroy both. Miro was content to joke around and play video games with his buddy, but Chuck and OC just won't let things go. I know the run for Miro hasn't been what many have wanted, but I get the feeling that Miro is about to just start wrecking shit |

Just have the post-match be Miro tossing Kip through some of the arcade machines and laying an ass-kicking on him. Shades of HBK and Jannetty, with that coward Kip trying to escape. But for real the Arcade Brawl should be the end of BF vs Miro/Kip feud. |

I just hope Kip eventually realizes his life is on the line in that arcade brawl.

I actually kinda feel for Kip and Penelope. It’s like one of those thriller movies when you bring someone into your life, only for them to gradually turn into a psychopath and eventually try to kill you.
