Miro likes to reveal a lot of details during his Twitch streams, and the latest was no exception. Miro used his stream to discuss the controversial game champion Billy Mitchell appearing alongside him last week on AEW Dynamite. Miro revealed he didn’t know who Billy Mitchell was and more.
If you don’t know, Billy Mitchell has faced allegations that he falsified his gaming score by using an emulator. The Guinness Book of records went as far as invalidating the record from its books for the game Twin Galaxies. Since the allegations, Guinness Book of records has reinstated the record, but Twin Galaxies still does not recognise the record.
Miro discussed not knowing Billy Mitchell,
“Is it Billy Mitchell you want to talk about? Let’s talk about Billy Mitchell. Why are you sorry that I support Billy Mitchell? So the director of the video sends me, and he says that Billy Mitchell is going to be appearing on our vignettes. To which, I took no consideration because I had no idea who Billy Mitchell was. No idea. Even [when] he gave me a quick snippet of the documentary [King of Kong] to watch it. And I opened to watch it, and I see — I thought he was trying to rip off a character from The Office. I thought it was just a, he’s trying to rip off Michael Scott and trying to be like him into like, he’s like a comedian guy. I’m like, ‘Oh, okay cool. We got a comedian in our backstage. That’s fantastic.’ Took nothing to it. One day, eventually told me he’s the Pac-Man world record [holder] and Donkey Kong, and all that. Again, I took nothing into be like, ‘Oh my gosh! Super cool. He got all the world records. That’s super cool.’
And then [Chris] Jericho sees the pre-tape. He texts me, he’s like, ‘Oh my gosh! You guys had Billy Mitchell. Why didn’t you tell me?’ And I’m like, ‘I didn’t know anyone would care.’ I thought he was just a guy, I had no idea that Billy Mitchell was like the biggest thing since hot water. But maybe I should have taken a sign. Because when we were at the axe throwing place, a random lady ran to him and asked him for an autograph and a picture. But again, I took nothing in consideration.”
Miro discussed his friends making him believe that Mitchell was a big deal,
“Somebody else — Nick, my friend Nick, saw my vignette. He texts me, he’s like ‘You are the man. You had Billy Mitchell.’ And I was like, ‘Wow, really? It’s that big a deal?’ He was like, ‘You have no idea. You have to watch it [King of Kong]. He said, ‘It’s like Pumping Iron but for video games. And I was like, ‘Whoa, I have to watch it.’”
Miro then discussed how he didn’t believe the story,
“I sat down and really, really enjoyed the video. But I just couldn’t — I still thought I was worked the whole time. I don’t think that was an actual documentary, I thought it some kind of a docudrama where it’s like, it’s a work. I thought it was like a show, it’s meant to look like it’s real but it wasn’t. But I still can’t believe this was a real thing.”
He finally ended with discussing the hatred towards Mitchell,
“I sat down and really, really enjoyed the video. But I just couldn’t — I still thought I was worked the whole time. I don’t think that was an actual documentary, I thought it some kind of a docudrama where it’s like, it’s a work. I thought it was like a show, it’s meant to look like it’s real but it wasn’t. But I still can’t believe this was a real thing.”
