“The angry man is aiming at what he can attain, and the belief that you will attain your aim is pleasant.” —Aristotle
Rage is a powerful tool, yet it has a negative reputation when compared to positive emotions like happiness and hope. Perhaps the lack of respect for rage and anger is rooted in social outlooks, as well as the obvious manifestation of its often destructive outcomes. Although some see rage and destruction as a good thing, many believe we would be better off without rage as an emotion. Those people, however, aren't the kind that find success in the world of professional wrestling.
Miro doesn't mind his rage being set free. In fact, rage is what gets him where he needs to go. Rage fuels his fire, and it all stems from the injustices of how things in the WLCW have gone since the inaugural world heavyweight championship match. There are those that would say he lost that match, yet he will not be associated with the losers of the WLCW. They are not at his level, and they never will be.
We see Miro in his home gym. Completely empty save for the brute himself. He's covered in sweat, muscles popping from a recent session of lifting. Normally he's calm after his workout, but today he's anything but. He's pacing back and forth as he begins to address the camera.
MIRO: Emotions evolved to keep us safe. Our fight response, which evolved so we could protect ourselves from danger, stems from anger. Anger is embedded in our primitive need to live and protect ourselves against aggression. It drives us to be vigilant. It sharpens our focus. When we are threatened by a predator, anger is automatically activated and pushes us to fight back and act quickly and forcefully to protect ourselves. Yet I am not like others. Anger is not a strong enough word to describe how I am feeling.
Miro's gaze into the camera intensifies as he stops pacing to focus his thoughts.
MIRO: I am not angry, I am enraged. Enraged at the injustices of the WLCW and the losers clinging onto the roster. When you experience physical and emotional pain, you get angry. When I experience those things, I prepare to destroy. My rage strongly motivates me to do something about those that don't belong here. And where others may simply just see red and lose control of themselves, my rage has a calming effect on my nerves, because I know that it only carries me past the losers that I intend to rid this company of.
Miro lets out a long breath as if he is becoming calmer.
MIRO: Doctors say we often experience anger when we are denied what we feel is ours or when faced with injustice. And I would say that they're right. These last few weeks have served as an internal warning that something was not quite right, that someone had screwed up and that I needed to take things into my own hands. My rage set in and I knew I had to send a message to everyone. My place is at the top of the WLCW, and nobody should EVER associate my name with the losers of the WLCW. Nick Gage? He got what was coming to him. He's a loser and doesn't deserve to be in the same company as me. The Bloodline? They're losers and don't deserve to be in the same company as me! I saw an opportunity to separate myself further from the bottom feeders of this place, and I took advantage of it. But what happened after I made an example out of them? Mick Foley thought it was a good idea to stick his nose in my business! AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE!
Miro's arms begin moving as he talks, the intensity once again returning to his voice and the veins across his body starting to bulge as his rage starts to manifest.
MIRO: Last week I demanded a rematch for the world heavyweight championship, a title that should be MINE! But Foley denied that of me, and I warned him that the beatings would continue until my demands were met. So what does he give me? A match against Roman Reigns? Foley, I know you'll hear this, so listen to me very carefully. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Roman is an insignificant ant! The only reason you did this was to appease the men that blindly follow your directions. Just know that the destruction I'll cause to the so-called "Tribal Chief" is completely on you. My goal is to punish those not worthy of being in the WLCW, to make the losers of this company suffer and send them packing so I can force my way back into the title scene.
Miro holds a clenched fist up to the camera to emphasize his point.
MIRO: Remember Foley, my rage is only escalating because you've put value on your other wrestlers instead of on the man you fear would be a true dominating champion. The destruction that I'm causing, it's all your fault. My rage is growing in order to recalibrate the situation and make you see that there is no other way than to get me what I want. All you're doing is delaying the inevitable, and you can make your life so much easier if you'd only listen. My rage will assert my position and WILL lead to your compliance. I really hope this causes you to rethink your position, because the beatings WILL continue until I get what is deservedly mine.
Miro's composure changes a bit as his focus shifts to his opponent for this weekend.
MIRO: And Roman, I'm sure you'll get this as well, so let me just lay it out for you, very bluntly. I'm about to take your head off. I realize you must be pissed off that I took out your boys, the Usos, last week. But you and I both know that they're dead weight. If anything, I did you a favor by cutting the fat. I'll even make you a deal, stay out of my way this Saturday on Storm, and I'll let you continue on your way and you can survive that much longer. I'm on a mission to take out the losers of WLCW, and I will continue to do so until I'm back in the championship picture. Whether or not you want to be included in that category of losers is up to you, but I'll say that if you do show up thinking that you're going to step into the ring with me, then I'm going to make an example out of you the likes that have never been seen! When people warn others of my destructive capabilities, you'll be the person everyone points to as an example of what my rage can do to others.
Miro gets closer to the camera, his voice once more at a frighteningly calm level given all the talk of his rage burning within.
MIRO: And to the rest of the WLCW locker room, you had better take care to win your matches this week, because I'm going to be headhunting for anyone that isn't up to the task of being a real wrestler in this company. I REFUSE to be associated with losers, and I will make sure that those who are not worthy are sent away from my presence in the most violent way possible.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
