Miro: People Would Rather Do 450s And Lose Than Punch Someone In The Mouth

Miro wants more wrestlers like Billy Hoyle and less like Sidney Deane. 

Miro has started to show his true self in AEW in recent months, turning into the ass-kicker that everyone wanted him to be when he signed with the promotion. Miro has shed the gaming gimmick and trying to please the crowd, deciding to just punch people in the face. 

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Miro discussed his character change. 

“People say ‘characters and gimmicks.’ Yeah, wrestling is full of dumb characters and people that want to be something they are not. That’s not how this works, you have to be you and draw real emotion and kick ass. You have to find that within you, it’s not from some television character, you have to find it deep inside. If ‘White Men Can’t Jump’ they say, ‘You’d rather look good and lose,’ that’s what people do. They’d rather do 650s or 450s and lose instead of just punching someone in the mouth and kicking them in the face like I do. People see the aggressive side and there is no one as aggressive as I am,” he said.

The quote from “White Men Can’t Jump” is “You’d rather look good and lose rather than look bad and win.” 

Miro has been looking good and winning, highlighted by his victory over Lance Archer at AEW Double or Nothing.
