Correction he had a good match with Will Ospreay the best wrestler in the world right now and a main event star in New Japan.[/QUOUTE]
Main event star in NEW JAPAN, not America where most people don't know who he is. Main event star in Japan where he wrestles on a regular and consistent basis, not here where he was just seen maybe 5 times so most people don't know he is and how he ranks amongst all the wrestlers in the world.
Miro is a mid carder because that's what he deserves to be right now. In time he could rise to be a main eventer but he's got to be patient and stop bitching.
If people are still enjoying the gimmick then it won't matter if he's still doing it 3 years from now. You do the gimmick until it's not accepted anymore by the fan base THEN you change.
It's not being accepted by the TV viewers which is why ratings go down when he's on the show.
The joke guy barely wrestled when he first started in AEW. NOW the joke guy is having four star matches and currently holds a title. Yeah, you're right he hasn't evolved at all.
The fact that he holds a title says more about the importance of the title and the company than it speaks to how good he is. A title that we just created amongst the 10 or so other titles that he had a tournament for and was dropped by the 1rst guy to have it within a month in something like his defense. And the guy who won cares so much about it that he carries it in a bookbag and throws it around, as a face. And I forgot that Meltzer's ratings determine how valid and ready a guy is for a title.
And he barely wrestles still especially on Dynamite
Miro isn't Chris Jericho. Jericho is a day one guy with the company and former world champion. Of course he'll have more leverage than Miro who hasn't really done squat.
Jericho came in and was given the title. Miro came in and was given Kip Sabian. And Jericho has more leverage than any inividual in the company hence the wide range of bullshit they let him do on down to sing, song routines and Hangover ripoff skits.
