Honestly?
It's among the most badass lines in wrestling period.

Miro has that Stan Hansen in Japan energy with me right now where if he ran towards me at a show, I'm f***ing running away as quickly as possible.

Hangman beating Miro could be cool story, a big boost to Hangman's confidence and could put him in the belt collectors sights. You can imply that Kenny hasn't been going after the TNT belt because he wanted no part in Cody (as good as Kenny in the ring, and a better pure wrestler) Darby (who wants to wrestle a human car crash?) and Miro (who is Miro) but Hangman? Kenny owns Hangman. I do have one concern if they put the title on Miro, and they're also planning to put the title on Britt along with the long title reigns AEW prefers... we could have a loong period where every champion is a heel. I think that could be a bit of a downer and turn some fans off. Good point. Maybe get some fan favorite tag champs and feature them more often? It's possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks hold the titles until 9/29, which is the tentative date for Rochester, which with DoN running in full capacity, it seems likely that date might actually stick. If that's the case, imagine the pop Silver and Reynolds would get if they took the titles off the Bucks there.

That has definitely replaced DDP telling Macho Man "You were born to become a chalk outline."

Miro's booking has been incredible. It's a purely character approach that's paid massive dividends.
Let's piece out the narrative.
He leaves WWE as a joke, but a popular joke, character. Pretty much a Damien Sandow.
He arrives in AEW, playing off that joke character and his twitch persona. And slowly, but surely, he gets more and more violent and unhinged until we're here. An utterly believable psychopath.
He arrived as that it wouldn't have worked. They took a a story that's real (that one friend who you're terrified of) or at least present in media and ran with it.
It's been genuinely great, for me at least.

It's going to be fun watching Miro and Lance Archer just batter the hell out of oneanother for the TNT belt.

With his alleged baggage, Darby is the last person who should be shooting, brother.

I'm all set for a Miro TNT title reign.

I’m very much looking forward to this match. Miro should definitely win. I have a feeling it won’t be a squash like the first Cody vs Brodie Lee match, but it’s going to be a great match.

Darby is a scrapper and is really good at adapting to situations but he's not going to be 100 percent and he's facing a Miro who is dialed in. I would be shocked if Darby retained here, and frankly I don't know if it'd be the right move, three title matches on your show, one of them's gotta change hands.

I'm hoping for a long, drawn out squash.
I want to see a match where every time Miro wants to pin Darby, he just picks him up at two and just launches him across the ring again.

Both guys NEED this feud and will both be better for it! And, as you said... it'll just be fun as hell to watch! It's all foreshadowed, Sky and Page keep attacking Darby so the next feud is him and Sting vs them. If he's banged up, a cinematic tag match will help cover that. Meanwhile, Lance has been trying to get Sting's attention and he'll be the one to break up the beatdown Miro, Page and Sky inflict, post match.

I'm kind of mixed on who I think's winning; on one hand Miro / Archer seems like it'd be very rushed, and really Archer probably shouldn't be choking yet again at this point, especially with zero build, but at the same time Miro shouldn't be losing. On the flipside, Darby's whole feud with Scorpio started over the TNT title, though granted based on him and Page also targeting Sting and them trying to cost him the Matt match, they don't seem to actually care about the belt at this point. And Darby's certainly had the title for long enough to have gotten everything out of this reign he will really; while a lot of it was just kind of uselessly plodding along with the Tazz feud the past couple months the guy's been a major workhorse with it and really elevated his profile a ton.
Gun to my head I think I'd say Darby wins, but I can really kind of see it going either way and I'm certainly hoping for Miro.
