During an interview with CBSSports.com, WWE star Rusev addressed his lack of matches while working for AEW as Miro\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI wrestled Jey Uso in Japan. I had to light a fire behind him because I wanted to go, man. I told him, \u2018I\u2019m going so hard, and I\u2019m not going to apologize, because I had a period of time where I\u2019d have one match, not knowing when the next match is coming.\u2019 That\u2019s a very scary situation. Now we have this hot crowd in Japan. Let\u2019s freaking go! Let\u2019s give it 150%.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the past five years, I have had 20 or 30 matches. Back in the day, I had 30 matches in 30 days. The dead time sticks out the most. We only have this body and age for so long. We can\u2019t do this job forever, so we must take advantage of it while we\u2019re young. I sat on the sidelines for so long, unable to do what I love, which is performing for people in professional wrestling.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou go out in the wild, in the dark, in the abyss, and have to figure everything out for yourself. You don\u2019t have the producers or the creative team. I dug deep inside myself to find out who I am and what I wanted to stand for. From there, we started developing \u2018The Redeemer\u2019 character.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, I was pushed against the wall with nowhere else to go. I remember that very vividly\u2026 After having that meeting about, \u2018You have this much time left here,\u2019 I once again went back and started revisiting my character. What could I do better? If you ask something of me, I\u2019ll deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During an interview with CBSSports.com, WWE star Rusev addressed his lack of matches while working for AEW as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":257060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,119076,119075],"class_list":["post-257059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-miro","tag-rusev"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
