Miro Didn’t Believe WrestleMania 31 Tank Was For Him

One of the biggest moments in the career of Miro was WrestleMania 31. Not only was he facing John Cena in a featured match, but he had one of the greatest WrestleMania entrances of all time. However, he didn’t believe it was for him.

During his appearance on Talk is Jericho, Miro revealed the range of emotions he went through upon finding out about his entrance. Here is the quote:

“Three days before WrestleMania they called us to go to the stadium for rehearsal. I said great… So we get there and I see this tank and I was like ‘oh that’s pretty cool’ and they were like ‘well this is for you’, and I was like ‘get the f*** outta here’. I didn’t believe them!

And then I found out- my friend hit me up like ‘man they’re looking for Russian soldiers for your entrance. They’re looking for extras’, like ‘yeah right’. He sends me the ad or whatever it was. He had long hair so he cut his hair so he could be in the entrance. He’s my first manager, Marcus Mack, we started back in 2008 or whatever it was. He is from Finland, he speaks Finnish, I’m Bulgarian but people don’t know so he’ll speak Finnish and I’ll be like ‘BAAAGH’! And then the next thing you know we are together at WrestleMania 31. He’s being one of my soldiers. It was just a beautiful moment.

I was kind of upset because the tank left before the cue. It was supposed to be my music, then the tank and then I was like ‘No! Wait! Wait!’ and then the tank moved and I was like ‘I’m going to take my sweet time because I want to live in this moment and when I got to the tank I got up and just stared at everybody. It’s like you’ve made it in a sense. This is my moment, this is what I lived for.”

Miro was not able to defeat John Cena at WrestleMania as Cena captured the US title and ended Miro’s undefeated streak.
