The real problem with Miro is he is too much of a beast to realistically ever lose.

[@SportPhilosophies]

True, especially on a roster full of twinks and skinny gymnasts.

[@wilcee238]

Just treat him how WWE used to treat Big Show.

[@chuckmendez8446]

If done properly, it would be a huge deal when the correct babyface beats him.

[@JackFury]

I mean it's wrestling. If booked right Darby allin could go over him

[@juliandavidhoffer2022]

Nah remember when his wife cucked him?

[@itscarlyj]

Miro should be handled like AEW's Brock Lesner. It's stupid that a guy like this isn't just running through the 150 pound guys in AEW.

[@sandyunderpants4376]

Yeah, I heard he got suspended for a year because he didn't like a storyline proposed to him, but that would be the only storyline he ever got at AEW. So I have no idea what it was, but one thing should be an improvement over just showing up and winning and doing nothing else.

[@itscarlyj]

@@sandyunderpants4376 I bet he got paid for that year. So he got to stay home with his "hot" wife and do nothing for a year? Miro has us all beat.

[@sandyunderpants4376]

@@itscarlyj He had us beat with the wife by itself. And he wasn't staying at home doing nothing with her, as god as his witness!!!!!

[@itscarlyj]

@@sandyunderpants4376 He doesn't have me beat with his wife. You can use the beauty is in the eye of the beholder line all you want. She doesn't have half the personality I do. There comes a time when that beauty runs out. For her it's going to come when Miro isn't there paying her bills. See my earlier statement about personality.

[@sandyunderpants4376]

@@itscarlyj She's double jointed and hot now. Who cares about later, he can upgrade when he wears her out. So yes, he has us beat. Jimmy Fallon has a great personality too, but I'd prefer Lana any night.

[@TheTalkPW]

Nick Comoroto has great potential. He can become a star under right influence.

[@JMFSpike]

Well, it's more like he *had* potential. Unfortunately, they ruined him for me and probably a few hundred thousand others who watched him on the Dark shows. He used to come out with a lollypop in his mouth and had the nickname of "Nicky Boy". After seeing that, I just can't look at him as a monster or a badass anymore. Whoever was responsible for that should have been fired on the spot.

[@kaejaediaz4754]

He's just blah

[@greghughes6098]

Now they just need to do something with him. Like Jim would say, "He looks like somethin."

[@bash8387]

Right now he’s a jobber

[@danielcraig4974]

Comoroto just needs to put his hands in his pockets and TK will push him to the moon.

[@wilcee238]

Comoroto got in better shape, works better, and got better gear; which meant that Tony K had to bury him. That’s just how it works at AEW. It’s like getting yourself over at WWE.

[@vegetalover9297]

lol what

[@gregpackman9833]

Comoroto wasn't over! Has always been a well built jobber

[@joeyskywalker1322]

@@gregpackman9833Facts I remember when Darby Allen beat Comoroto 🤣🤣🤣

[@cctitansfan]

Comoroto looks like a wrestler. Wish they would do more with him

[@scrappy93]

That's why they won't use him.

[@SuperPeterok]

Looks like a fat Bruiser Brody

[@Beer_Baron_]

I like Comoroto’s look. First off, they said he’s 6’5”, which puts him as 99% taller than everyone on the roster. He looks like the love child of Hercules Hernandez, Bobby Roode and a canister of ICOPRO.

[@andras_baka]

He's like Bruiser Brody eaten by a samoan

[@florida_guy03]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

@@florida_guy03 Trash.

[@Traducteur1]

Spot on comparison! 😂

[@boybetterknow45]

If Tony wants to do something with him then they should make him Jungle boys bodyguard

[@P4nnu_]

I’d like to see Miro be presented not so much as a baby face or heel, but rather a force majeur, an impedance, a natural force wrestlers (both good and bad) to have to overcome that ultimately drowns them. It would work with his weird relationship with god (and hot wife) as well as make whichever wrestler who conquers him seem like King Arthur slaying the beast

[@Gothy420]

So like The Undertaker?

[@juliandavidhoffer2022]

@@Gothy420thats what I thought too.

[@peterdickinson4599]

A gatekeeper - a veteran that acts as an obstacle that younger Faces have to beat cleanly in order to progress to higher levels of the card.

[@dreaescobar7257]

A tweener you mean

[@boblocke5593]

​@@dreaescobar7257 tweener is pretty general though. Think these guys are trying to workout what kind of tweener.

[@davidstephan5116]

In a real life scenario, I’m convinced Nick Comorato could be that guy that even real life badasses tend to avoid.

[@TheTopTurnchuckle]

It warms my heart knowing not just how much jim has flipped on Miro, but how much Miro has taken cornette's advice.

[@yusufgazi7]

And now here comes Miro, Wearing pyjamas like me he's my hero

[@yusufgazi7]

The Young Bucks could shoot on Buzz Sawyer Make Brock Lesnar take a Canadian Destroyer

[@bryanviviage9899]

Tbh Jim's funny way of saying "Comoroto, Solo, Ogogo" for a few years now have done more to get them over with me than anything the trio or AEW have tried. Well maybe "getting them over" is a little strong, but I'm at least reminded of their existence from time to time. Jim truly was born to be someone involved in the wrestling business. My one wish would be to witness a final Corny run with today's available talent before he's done with wrestling for good.

[@ZBR_ProXP]

Spot on

[@insupportofjunhado]

Agogo's tried really hard, but he was stuck on dark, whose only regular viewers were the hardcore AEW fans, who we've discovered don't gravitate much towards serious wrestlers. And now Dark's not even a thing anymore. Like pay per view to nothing just like that, while Cargil had the biggest push of anyone. As rotten as that program was, the match wasn't that bad. Agogo is an entire pound heavier than Cody Rhodes. With the rise of Cody I figured AEW would push Anthony as his foil, their edgier equivalent. The man who couldn't get his rematch with Cody but could prove he could now do what Cody couldn't be beating MJF and taking the world title belt. I have no idea why I thought that would happen anymore.

[@maybenextyearmb9660]

I think Miro is one of the most disappointing wrestlers of the past 20 years. I feel like he could have been so good. I've seen videos of him out of character. He's charismatic, and funny and extremely likeable. Rusev day was SUPER over. He could have been a much bigger deal.

[@bash8387]

I loved rusav day but Vince didn’t

[@CoolCATs2814]

Miro needs to define his gimmick. If he's "The Redeemer" now, why is he still yelling "Game Over!" from his video game playing gimmick?

[@taisou108]

I've got it! "Game Over" referencing "Triple H" references "King of Kings" which is only Jesus, or, Christ "The Redeemer"!

[@hatnhands4476]

Has anyone else noticed how much Nick Comoroto looks like Bruiser Brody?

[@MaggieKeizai]

I always see Pampero Firpo.

[@kaejaediaz4754]

I see Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds

[@budwyzer77]

Tony Khan books his monsters like shit to get vicarious revenge for being a skinny dork in high school. Miro should have been the AEW champion within three months of his debut.

[@chuckmendez8446]

That's the same reason some of the "wrestling should be fun" fans get fully behind the idea of wrestlers looking like your next door neighbor who works at the Starbucks. They project themselves in pockets, hook, Eddie Kingston, etc.

[@darthraider450]

Remember when Comorotooooooooooo was on the main event of a Dynamite episode? 😂

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Miro is great and should be a beast, and Comoroto could be something else if he wasn't buried by being a QT jobber for 4 years. Sadly this didn't really help either one. Miro needs direction, He needs to destroy Pockets and have a dominate run as a champion like he did as TNT champion.

[@hamankarn91]

aparently, the chosen one is PlumberMOX

[@vegetalover9297]

​@@hamankarn91he's better than OC

[@Kalbuir66]

@@vegetalover9297 no he's not. They're both terrible in their own ways that make watching their matches equally boring.

[@Justin-bo5pg]

​@hamankarn91 I'm going to laugh my ass off if the one thing Moxley sells is that terrible superman punch that misses by a mile.

[@Apocalypse3434]

Only problem with that scenario is he'd be working with Pockets. Miro's aura as a beast would disappear as soon as Pockets did his fake kicks.

[@antonioreciomatamoros1773]

The video ends at 3:40

[@GodotOfficial]

I watched this video just to hear Cornette say COMOROTO SOLO OGOGO again

[@ron4280]

I wish they would do miro's cryptic promos again and hsve him main event every once in awhile. Having cm punk main event every single collision is going to get old quick.

[@benespinosa6725]

This match was great glad to see Miro back Collision has been amazing so far.

[@brianparker130]

[@kaejaediaz4754]

So Hobbs can be treated like a jobber even more so

[@QAZ-OMEN]

[@TheManOfTheHourEveryHour]

Smart booking would revisit MJF vs Darby without the other twinks clogging things up, have Darby win the title, keep it for 3-6 months, then get REKT by Miro for it.

[@chriscornelius2518]

No no no. It doesn't work that way. He's gonna have to lose to Darby. Small guys beat the big guys 99% of the time.

[@ringspan2731]

Nick Comoroto has been wrestling in Tony Khan's version of Ring of Honor since April. Not everything happens on Dynamite or Collision with these guys.

[@RationalGaze.BingChillin]

6 weeks now of NOTHING lined up for Miro. Before collision he was AFK for months. All this time and Tony has no plan. Nothing. It’s unforgivable. The fans should be revolting at this point.

[@indiesongwriter5474]

Why would they have Miro fight a guy bigger than him? Why did they bury Comoroto - who has potential? Why is Miro a Babyface? Miro should be a heel beating smaller guys.

[@paulcarpenter7844]

I thought about all of it 😂

[@themanitou6702]

To make the point that even if you're as big or bigger than Miro, you're still a level below Miro. Miro demonstrated that he's got a technical and athletic advantage over a man the size of Comorato. It's not the end for Comorato. Someone who looks like that will always have a place in wrestling.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

I believe it is to show how unstoppable Miro is by even being able to squash a big guy, since they are finally trying to build him up again. As for Comoroto, it's not that he lost any momentum he never had. And with his physique, a quick repackage to have him "finally focused", few wins in the midcard and he'll be a credible heel.

[@paulcarpenter7844]

Dude would thrive in wwe

[@__RYN__]

1:41 There's no "inbetweeners" unless youre a top guy like MJF. Miro works heel but the mark audience decided to put him over

[@PatrickBarnes86]

The problem with Miro and the rest of the Collison roster is they don't have a main or secondary title to fight over. I feel if they introduced titles for that brand specifically, Miro would be a good secondary title holder

[@tonyruby4467]

The TNT title is basically the belt they use for Collision. Maybe use the FTW belt as the secondary belt. It's a legit belt in the game

[@robertridley1029]

A 4 minute review followed by an 8 minute weed ad. I fast forwarded to see if there was something else after the weed but there is not.

[@televiper11]

Miro could still be a money main eventer if they’d just book him to steamroll everyone on the way to a showdown with a big name Main Eventer like Punk or Joe

[@sandyunderpants4376]

He should steamroll Joe too. Miro would be a great main event after that vs. MJF or Punk or Kenny. He's a believable monster and a good wrestler and the fans love him, so it makes sense that he would never get a storyline or used in any meaningful way.

[@Usedplungerstotheface]

[@sandyunderpants4376]

So 3 minutes on Miro and Comoroto and 8 minutes of a commercial. I hope Comoroto goes to WWE. I could see him and Brian Cage getting over big time there (and Jade Cargill). I mean at least it would be better then looking like superstars that only appear on tv to job.

In their 2-3 hour show this was where an ad slot was designated.

You are paying nothing and can quite literally just click the close button you are not forced to listen to the ad and they do it when they are finished talking about the topic.
