AEW superstar Miro was a recent guest on the Chris Van Vilet show to discuss all things pro-wrestling, including how he felt working at WWE and how the Best Man gimmick came about in AEW. Highlights are below.
Called going to work at WWE dreadful:
I’ve never been worried about anything, even before. It doesn’t matter what people think. I’ve always been happy. Always been happy, just going to work [at WWE] was a bit of a dreadful moment. But now that’s gone, there are no dreadful moments in my life at all.
Talks AEW offer and how there’s another company he wants to work for:
So I was sitting at home doing my Twitch and we found out they were interested so we got in contact. It didn’t start off great because I had other opportunities, but I knew I didn’t want to go to just any place. I knew I wanted to go two places: AEW and another one. There’s another place that I really want to go and I will go eventually because that’s just how it’s going to happen.
How the Best Man gimmick came about:
So they called me and we talked back and forth and even Chris [Jericho] said when they wanted to bring me in, they wanted to bring me in with a purpose and not to bring me in just to be there. So they came up with the idea with Kip and the best man and I think the best man is so suiting because of everything that I do and I thought it was a great schtick. And it’s not just a schtick, it’s actually fitting because it’s my personality and that’s why it was a no-brainer. Yes, let’s just do that.
