"That is a horrible name" - Wrestling veteran completely loses his cool over 'Michin' Mia Yim's name (Exclusive)
Mia Yim returned to WWE in November 2022 and aligned herself with The OC. Shortly afterward, she was nicknamed "Michin".
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo doesn't seem to be the biggest fan of the rebranding, labeling it "horrible."
"Don't fear the strong. Fear the weak. For they have something to prove." - Silvio Caruso

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's latest edition of Legion of RAW, Russo completely lost his cool over the name. He even claimed that there are several other horrible names on the roster.
"I now am going to refer to her as My chin because, what's the name again? Michin? That is horrible, bro, that is a horrible name. You're not going to have, 'The WWE Women's Champion, Michin', no bro. It's a horrible name, there are a million horrible names on this roster.
There's a million of them, that is a horrible name and you know what, bro? That's nothing against the individual, bro. Somebody is giving her this name but she's gotta say, that's a horrible name, because if you don't know what that name means. You gotta keep telling me a million times." [46:21]
