He grew up in Yonkers, New York (the same neighborhood as another flawed but brilliant artist, DMX) in a tumultuous environment littered with drug dealers and junkies and killers. Much like Job-the long-suffering servant of a God who took everything from him-it can be interpreted that Kingston was a product of the Lord’s punishment. I stand before you, a weakened version of, your reflectionīeggin’ for direction, for my soul needs resurrection”Įddie Kingston kisses his rosary every time he takes it off after entering the ring. ‘Cause I will know where I’m headed, ’cause I’m so tired of the sufferin’ “And when I get goin’, I’m not lookin’ back for nothin’ Miro is the physical embodiment of the Christian God: a bully, a narcissist, a sociopath. When he began to refer to himself as “God’s Favorite Champion,” his single-minded devotion to giving his Lord and his double-jointed spouse offerings in the form of borderline murderous victory rendered him a truly terrifying character. Miro followed the newfound shift by embarking on a reign of terror which saw him defeat Darby Allin pretty brutally for the TNT Championship, beat Fuego del Sol and Lee Johnson within an inch of their lives to defend it, and offer praise to his vengeful God and his hot wife who can do the splits. Miro gave the Arcade Anarchy match versus Taylor and Orange Cassidy a needed sense of weight to counterbalance the surprise return of Kris Statlander and all the general tomfoolery.Īnd when Sabian went down with an injury, Miro not only transitioned into a new persona seamlessly, he tied up the loose ends and reached a new level of menace by taunting and calling out Sabian repeatedly-and even threatening Ford in the guise of protecting her.
He turned an angle where Taylor was his butler-a hokey wrestling trope even when it was a new idea-into compelling television, allowing the Kentucky Gentleman to show an emotional depth not previously seen on AEW television. Part of why Miro has such a passionate cult fanbase is because as a performer he can make anything work. Even as something as barely perceptible as Miro referring to the tag team of Chuck Taylor and Trent as “Good Friends” had a special kind of comedic power (and a sly callback to his WWE rivalry with “Bob Roode”). As dry as the cheapest vermouth, his quips and asides were often the most hysterical things said on Dynamite from week to week.

When Miro was introduced introduced to the AEW audience, he emerged as “The Best Man,” a bleach blonde, streetwear obsessed Twitch streamer and impending groom’s party member of the nuptials of Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford.

But rarely have we seen the presence of a truly frightening professional combat artist adopt the fire and brimstone philosophy of religious fervor. We’ve all seen the cowboy movies with the outlaws and the lawman obsessed with the Old Testament, the branch of literature’s most enduring texts, the Bible, where God was relentlessly abusive to his creations. His matches indulge the part of the human brain which craves hand-to-hand violence the part of us who can’t help but watch when somebody is getting fucked up. With a few exceptions-precious few-Miro has not only dominated the ranks of All Elite Wrestling, he has bludgeoned them. For the past heavy handful of weeks, AEW fans have witnessed the pride of Bulgaria, who in a past artistic life was given a medal by his country for his valor and bravery (and also rode a tank down the WrestleMania aisle), collect the proverbial skulls of his opponents. The man born as Miroslav Barnyashev recently said he only lives to serve his angry god and his double-jointed wife. “I receive preferential treatment and I have special privilegesīecause of God’s favor my enemies cannot triumph over me” - DMX, “The Prayer V” (2003)
