The former WWE star and former AEW TNT Champion Miro is a popular star now but he had a tough time prior to signing with WWE. His career has not been smooth from the beginning and he had to get other jobs to deal with the financial crunch. Previously, Miro called former WWE Diva ‘hot’ on AEW.
Miro opens up on the financial crisis
While speaking to Kurt Angle on his podcast, Miro revealed that he barely made enough money to make ends meet and even made more money driving taxis when he was working with a development deal in WWE.
“My ACL was completely torn, but my meniscus was flipped one on top of the other. It was really bad situation. It was a big mess, but we fixed it.” explained Miro, “Once again if it wasn’t for the opportunity to get into WWE [it wouldn’t have been fixed]. There’s no way I can get 10 or $20,000 to fix my ACL at home because I had no money. No health insurance clearly.
WWE at the time they were paying me $500 a week or $600 a week. So I’m already struggling there. I was making more money driving taxi and delivering food in California. And then they say ‘Hey, guys, we got to get insurance, which is $100 a month.’ [I went] ‘Holy smokes. How am I supposed to pull that money from now?”
Miro also previously stated that WWE made him become like a circus bear. It remains to be seen when Miro will return to AEW television as fans are eagerly waiting to see him in action.
