Talk Is Jericho: How Miro Was Fired From WWE

[@captaindeadpool2655]

Now he's worse off than he was in WWE.

[@jusrus1992]

Been a WWE Fan since the Monday Night Wars. The last 5 or 6 years They have completely lost sight of what they were. They screw superstars in so many ways, thier booking is 90% stupid (they seem to be able to do a couple things right), they destroyed their ability to make stars. They are alot like 2000 WCW. Its tough times in WWE right now.

[@maosama3695]

They didn't change dude. It's just that main eventers back then were sufficient enough to carry the company. Look at test , Billy Gunn , Bart Gunn , and many more.

[@KalvinEllis]

Becky Lynch is one of the few rare exceptions though some could argue they dropped the ball with her push too.

[@midasrockstar]

@@maosama3695 Today's main eventer's are perfectly sufficient, Vince just doesn't see another Stone Cold or John Cena or even a Hulk Hogan in anyone and refuses to push anyone who doesnt give off their energy, He's not looking for a new breed of wrestler anymore, he's looking for the next John Cena.

[@eklipz3467]

Bret Hart was right all along. Entertainment vs actual wrestling and good storylines.

[@BrianTKessler]

Miro didn't feel safe opening up because a conversation with one person ends up in the first sheets. Meanwhile, at AEW Jon Huber's death was a complete surprise to the fans because the roster respected his family enough to keep his illness a secret.

[@gunnyo50]

During that time of Luke Harper's death my respect for Tony Khan and AEW went up tenfold when I heard they kept his illness and death silent till his family was ready to broadcast that. It's very rare to keep anything secret and away from gossip sheets these days. That's egregious breaking Rusev's trust like that, pretty shitty.

[@valeodude27]

Anytime I hear former WWE wrestlers talk about leaving, the common theme is that WWE didn’t know what to do with them. I thought he got over with the “Rusev Day” stuff then they stopped it. Same thing with punk and SES. It seems as though the thought is to get over but then when you do they do everything they can to stop it. It’s just how Vince McMahon likes to keep control.

[@silxix2599]

Exactly Control. Vince Controls wrestlers momentum, and popularity to hold some from being world champion. It's a way to have an excuse to pay wrestlers less, and avoid creating too many top level superstars. I understand if you create many top notch stars, not only will they demand more money, but you risk them leaving to another company. So he fears that. Problem for fans is that Vince McMahon picks the Wrestlers he wants on top, even if they're not the most popular ones. He pushes them above other more deserving that fans really engage with and like. That's why some wrestlers, when they finally win the world title they never regain it back again. Or some have very short stints as World Champion. Imagine if the WWE had just one World Title belt? You could never satisfied so many egos.

[@doubleyouexwhyamzed]

I love Miro. He seems like such a cool dude.

[@giovannavaldez6222]

[@MediCali951]

[@pilot7350]

LOL as if wwe wrestlers on have any say in what they do . vince ruined him just like all the other wwe talent. glad alota wwe wrestlers found their way outa that sloppy company . where ever they turned up.

[@samoanjoseph1457]

People keep saying Lana is being punished but she's winning more now than she was when her husband left. A table a week is a small price to pay. I mean it's not like she can coast on her in-ring ability and there are several women who look better than her, she's gotta pay her dues somehow. And dancing ain't cutting it. Being hauled onto Nia's back apparently is. I bet if you went to a Horsewoman with that "Nia puts you through a table every week" you wouldn't get a yes. But somebody like Lana? She better jump for it, there's never been a better time for women who normally wouldn't get pushed to be in WWE.

Miro Day the future AEW World Champion

[@knightshousegames]

I just hope they get an actually good story for Miro soon. He has so much potential that is being absolutely wasted sticking him with a douchebag like Kip Sabian. It's absolutely killing his credibility. They should have brought him in as a white hot babyface. They should have known after the pop he got on his debut that they should have had him immediately turn on Sabian and do something else. It's probably the first creative decision AEW has made that I thought was a huge mistake. They had the eyes of the world on them, Miro looking the best he's ever looked, and they turn him heel and stick him with a jobber.

I might be wrong but there is always a part of me that thinks that when Vince does these kind of firings (he fired Rusev but kept Lana.. Lana is bad at what she does in the ring and on the mic, Rusev is above average and very over) there is other motives for Vince here.. I think he thinks there is a possibility by firing Rusev he can get them divorced. He doesnt want someone that looks like Lana romantically involved with Rusev.. then he did that Lashley angle which was fucking weird

[@johnnymorningstar2855]

Not only did the continously bury Rusev, then they came with a dumpster truck full of garbage, buried him in that, and tried to set it on fire.

Was HOPING he woulda' brought over his Rusev Day gimmick being a fantastic face, instead he botched injuring himself in his first match, got a gimmick paired as "Gamer" (smh) and revolving back to the same as a heel'ish brute. He's got the rest of 2021, but so far his runs been a dud.
