Miro Talks Which WWE Star Gave Him Confidence To Join Twitch

Former WWE Star “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev (who is now known as Miro in AEW) was recently a guest on AEW’s Unrestricted podcast, where he talked about a number of topics, including WWE Star Xavier Woods giving him the confidence to start his own Twitch channel.

Miro said that WWE’s Xavier Woods was the main reason he is on Twitch today and everything happened because of Woods. Miro also said that WWE Monday Night RAW Star Xavier Woods gave him the confidence and guided him in the timing, because if Woods didn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t have started his Twitch channel.

This is what Miro said:

“Xavier Woods was the main reason I’m on Twitch today. We shared a love of video games for many years. I played video games for as long as I remember, but I never thought of myself as playing video games in front of different people because we all have different emotions playing video games and I wasn’t sure if people wanted to see that.

He told me, ‘No, you’re an entertainer, you’re so funny, and you love video games. You should do it.’ It happened right as I got fired, so I had nothing else to do. Then I wanted to go the full professional route because I don’t half-ass anything. I got all the right equipment and all the right set-ups.

Everything happened because of [Woods]. He gave me the confidence. It was timing as well. If I didn’t get figured, I don’t think I would have started the Twitch because I like to put 100% into what I was doing. When I was wrestling, I put 100% into that. Once that went away, I put 100% into Twitch.”
