Miro who was known as Rusev during his WWE tenure have a pretty memorable run with the promotion. During his tenure, he destroyed multiple opponents. One of his gimmicks which really got over with the fans was the Rusev Day gimmick. Sadly, the gimmick was killed out of nowhere.
During a recent appearance on In The Kliq, Lana discussed a variety of topic including why Rusev Day had the rug pulled out from under it. Lana stated that Vince McMahon’s love for Miro has a heel led to the killing of Rusev Day.
The simplest way of putting it for all the listeners that might not be as familiar with wrestling is Vince McMahon was the director, the Steven Spielberg of our show,” Lana said. “…I think at the end of the day, Vince loves Miro as a villain.
So that was really the bottom line of the struggle was he wanted him to be his Bulgarian Brute, 300 pounds, crazy, killing. It was his company, still is, and that was his creative vision, and I think that was always the conflict of it all, really, to come down to the bottom line. I can have a ton of opinions, but it’s show business at the end of the day.”
After Rusev Day was over, Miro struggled to win over the fans and he was soon released from his contract. Miro had a good start to his AEW career as well. However, he has been floundering in recent weeks. Only time will tell if he will manage to regain some of his dominance again.
