Many people have noted that Miro’s AEW debut was a bit underwhelming and it appears that the former WWE producer Lance Storm is one of the people who is not a fan of his current direction.
The former WWE employee appeared on the Figure Four Daily podcast recently where he talked about a number of things and also revealed his thoughts on the former US Champion’s position in his current company.
Storm explained that he personally is not a fan of the direction the company has taken with Miro and he thinks that the former Rusev should have been presented as a powerhouse like he was in WWE:
“I personally am not a fan of his current direction of his character. But I don’t necessarily represent the AEW fan base. This is where it’s a real shame that we are still in pandemic conditions because if we had full arenas, you would get a far better feel on how the Miro presentation is working. That’s the real drawback to not having many or any fans in the building. That was always the barometer to which you gauge what was working. To me, I’ve always liked the destructive big powerhouse that was Rusev that could be Miro now. Tying him up in a wedding angle and playing video games, which may be who he really is; I’m not a big fan of.”
Lance Storm continued by comparing the presentation to the time when WWE tried to give a personality to Finn Balor, though he did acknowledge that he is not part of the demographic the company is promoting their product to:
“Again, maybe he is doing it to promote his Twitch and his other interests rather than his AEW interests, I don’t know. But, I would prefer to see big badass Miro rather than hanging out with Kip Sabian playing video games. But again, I’m in that over, just barely over 50+ demo, so maybe I’m not the guy they are targeting.”
