So unbelievably cool. Fantastic delivery and it was shot brilliantly as well, with a nod and wink towards Brando in Apocalyse Now.

Honestly, if Miro wanted to do some acting, he really likely could.

I say it all the time but I just love how unique Miro is.
There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from the past but you can usually clearly see/hear the influence with even the best wrestlers. Not with Miro, especially his promos, only he could deliver them the way he does.

Yeah, the moment Miro comes back to the ring, regardless of scenario, already feels like a big deal because someone’s going to f***ing die.

Out of all the wwe guys, with the exception of Bryan, Miro has impressed me the most. The look, attitude, in ring, the promos, he just kills it at everything. Black is another wwe guy I’ve come to love but Miro is beastmode.

I had chills afterwards. He had the lighting like Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now, and basically challenged God.
I can see Hangman Page versus Miro being a very interesting feud/match. That's money to be made. I would not put the World title on him, but I would make it close.

I swear, I haven't fanboyed for a wrestler like I do Miro since Sting back in the 90s. Dude is easily my favorite wrestler of the modern era and honestly, second place isn't even close.

During his Evil Foreigner gimmick in WWE.. I was on board just because I kept wanting him to go full Ivan Drago and say "If he dies, he dies." But after losing to Cena, it petered out.
When he started showing more personality and comedic timing, it was interesting but didn't go anywhere.
When he turned face, he was locked in that stupid Lana/Lashley angle that really did him no favors. When he was let go.... I wanted him to do well, but had no idea what could be done.
When he came to AEW, I was hopeful... but pairing him with Kip, doing the "We're Twitch Streamers and Gamers" thing... to the point where the whole Best Friends feud came from their Arcade1up Machine being broken.... just really didn't give me much to hope for.
But now..... my god. A day later and I still can't get over this promo, as well as the direction of his character. I have to say, this may be one of the craziest re-inventions in recent memory. Like up there with Broken Matt and the Multiverse.
"My God, make no mistake. You WILL make me your champion, or you will make me your enemy. So if you stay silent over my head, I will snap necks under my foot. Until the next one I redeem is me, and the next one to forgive is you." - Miro
It's rare to see promos where almost every single word carries weight to it, and this one absolutely did. I want Hangman to have a nice, lengthy reign.. but when the time comes, if Miro's not the one to take it off of him, I don't know who else should. Going full nightmare up to that point, getting the title, being overjoyed that his God hasn't forsaken him.. then using that to go forth with even MORE destruction because now he feels completely justified in what he has done, as well as feeling further empowered by his god to do just that. He could go on to be "Brock Lesnar In His Prime" frightening and dominant.

As someone who hasn't "gotten" Miro as much as most have, that was one the best promos of the year.

As someone who hasn't "gotten" Miro as much as most have, that was one the best promos of the year. Once they dropped all the "Best Man/Gamer" stuff, it's worked a lot better. Miro's a killer, and he's a killer because he got it in his head that he was Chosen by forces beyond our mortal ken. But now that people know where he's vulnerable, and more important, _he_ knows where he's vulnerable, he's wondering if maybe he wasn't so Chosen after all. But why shouldn't he be, look at him? And, well, if he's not The One, then he's going to take it out on everybody else.
