@shawnperico7221 the nwa was a banner that multiple regional wrestling companies would work under. They would supply each other with talent, and they would even fight for the same titles. Think of it as the nba/nfl, except instead of teams you had completely separate companies, and they had NO CONTRACTS. If someone ran their show in the same region as another nwa company, they would consider that an "outlaw" promotion meaning no one in the nwa could work with them. Unfortunately, they allowed the WWF to buy up their top guys. They tried fighting back, all the top nwa talent that did not leave went to Jim Crockett promotions, a new company basically made from the ashes of mid-atlantic. JCP got bought up by turner broadcasting and became WCW.
I love EC3. He was one one of Piper's last podcasts before he died. Dude was humble and very respectful. He had such a passion for professional wrestling. The CYN thing was a misstep imo, but I'm glad he's recovered and become THE guy in the NWA.
@@escapethematrix4204don’t tell me you’re one of these kids who thinks EC3 stole from MJF….he’s been wrestling as EC3 since before MJF graduated high school, MJF literally took the 3 letter initial name from him.
He doesn't get talked about enough but when this man left WWE the 1st time he made a name for himself in TNA and did great with that. His NXT and 2nd WWE run was ehh but seeing how he's doing now, he's another guy that managed to thrive outside of WWE as much crap he may get.
I think his NXT run could have gone smoother if he didn’t get concussed by Clark. I think that killed his whole momentum because before he had that badass ladder match in April.
When he was in TNA before and then WWE I always looked at him as some typical "jock" type. Now as this control your narrative thing he has going he seems like a conspiracy nut
Towards 3/4ths of the clip, you can see some tape plastered upon the underarms of EC3's bi/triceps. What is the purpose of said tape other than for aesthetic or cosmetic purposes?
@@ITSHIM1294 😄😄😄. He's also still trying to get over as a promoter so why not cut a bit of a promo. Back in the days guys stayed "in character" just as many do today 🤷🏽♂️. I can see it both ways
Haven’t watched the whole interview but based on the clips I’ve seen he seems to be in character at least off and on during this. Hell he’s even draped in his titles lol. I could see showing them but if you’re out of character and just having a regular interview you’re not going to hold them up on your shoulders the whole time sitting there lol
Looks like he blinks a lot because whenever he speaks his eyes go kind of lazy, like they want to shoot of in different directions, and blinking is the easiest way to hide it.
The control your narrative stuff was silly. Honestly I don't think wwe dropped the ball as hard as people think. I think he belongs on the indies..a big fish in a small pond is perfect for him
Acute does not mean small. It means severe (acute appendicitis) or shrewd/insightful (acute awareness). If you’re talking about acute angles, it doesn’t mean small, it means less than 90 degrees.
So we ain't going to talk about how he created a promotion called control your narrative and with a commercial flop and whoever bought tickets or bought the pay-per-view get screwed out their money and the wrestlers who join your company get screwed out of money too You're no better than the AOP when they create a wrestling event or show or company and then not pay wrestlers with they should have been paid for appearance
I cannot imagine he makes much financially from an organization that has nothing going for it. Kinda strange to pretend you making +100K a year when you aint
Yeah but he's not making 300k which is the NXT wage for someone like him. Its not even AEW money which probably pays 150-200k for talent like EC3. Lets not pretend these wrestlers working indies like NWA are making money. The only ones who did that were like the Bucks and Kenny. Indies for 3k for a match is not a lot when you gotta do all the work yourself@@Deserticeninja
I'll tell you one thing that ain't controlled and that's EC3's hair because it's running wilder than hulk hogan at wrestlemania. 😂😂😂
Not the NWA I was thinking😂
NWA was huge in the eighties and they had a lot of stars that went on to the wwf.I think they were out of Atlanta

He’s overrated

Matt Cardona (Zak Ryder) is another perfect example of this too
@@mattpryokra2245 for sure. He's been killing it!
I want to see MJF VS EC3 . The shape of their head almost the same 🫣
When he was in TNA before and then WWE I always looked at him as some typical "jock" type. Now as this control your narrative thing he has going he seems like a conspiracy nut
Na, he’s a super nerd. Greek cape? Star Wars references? Ubermensch? Dude is a NERD!
You watch your mouth that's Ethan Carter the Third you are talking about.
Yep. It’s kind of a Tyler Durden thing. I like it
When he turned face against Matt Hardy he was killing it
Narritive controlled. Bravo EC3
Can you convince him to drop the Overman and just called himself Ubermensch?!
The Nietzsche and super deep cut Star Wars references have won me over.
"I'm you know, a sexual stud..." 💀💀😂
I love EC3 but why the hell does he look like a bum in this interview 😂
EC3 does look kinda haggard, which is weird. 2019 wasn't that long ago but it's like his body is aging quickly
@@2Good2BeTrue45 well wrestling will do that
@@JustMalcolm914*steroids
He's a goblin on steroids.
EC3 looks like a Mortal Kombat character
idk about the looks but he got the body...😂
Guy has so much more personality than what wwe allowed him to present.
Matt Cardona went to the NWA and won the championship.
And Matt deserved it
@@AspectNoir999 everyone deserves it
Jobbers won that title any time
@@linkinparkmickyshrinick aldis was never a jobber
Ec3 is great character in NWA
I saw him do an actual Death Match. Glass, high spots and lots of blood. This guy is insane.
No competition in NWA and he is a 🪴 wrestler
Interesting match for the future ec3 vs mjf
He’s looking rough
Hes like hes high
He's MJF prototype so that would be an awesome match!!!! MJF VS EC3 make it happen TK.
Towards 3/4ths of the clip, you can see some tape plastered upon the underarms of EC3's bi/triceps. What is the purpose of said tape other than for aesthetic or cosmetic purposes?
Nothing, the tape is just advertised as helpful to relive muscle strain and the knuckleheads in wrestling buy it hook, line and sinker
CYN was so amazingly bad. I love the flashback here lol
EC3 sounds and kinda looks like the guy that tries to bum money off me at local park.
Seems like you touched a nerve, he comes across pretty salty in this one
Maybe playing the role, cutting a promo so to speak 🤷🏽♂️
@@soulofanerd9364he ran a failed promotion. Role my ass 😂

……lol that’s a funny way to spin this.
The concept was to tell your story!? Well why didn’t you just say that!? CYN was weird AF for no reason!!
I really wish he would control the shitty tattoos that he gets
I guess that's part of controlling his narrative lmao
What’s wrong with his back tattoo?
He's the biggest name.Billy Corgan has of course he's champion.
Not even gonna lie hope the NWA is doing well haven’t watched power in a long time.
Hate be the one to tell you this..... not so much.
NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion EC3 vs AEW World Champion MJF vs WWE Champion The Miz
He def made me believe him, even if he’s full of shit. Lmao
What the hell is he on.. Jesus.. bro's looking rough
Looks like he blinks a lot because whenever he speaks his eyes go kind of lazy, like they want to shoot of in different directions, and blinking is the easiest way to hide it.
Good for ec3! He got screwed in wwe. That annoyed me after seeing him in tna prior.
Can anybody tell me what the other belt he’s holding is, not the nwa heavyweight belt the other one. Please and thank you.
I blame the "narrative" rules he had set up a few years ago 😅
He’s a weird guy for sure
older giga chad
The control your narrative stuff was silly. Honestly I don't think wwe dropped the ball as hard as people think. I think he belongs on the indies..a big fish in a small pond is perfect for him
Yep , he's always been a mid carder at best
Kinda agree
And then Braun strowman signed a new contract with wwe and karion kross went back to wwe as well 😂😂😂
EC3 Royal Rumble 2025.
Mentally acute? Did he just call himself stupid? Doesn't acute mean small?
It can be used as a synonym for shrewd/bright/etc. as well. That said, he does come off more as pretentious than anything.
Acute does not mean small. It means severe (acute appendicitis) or shrewd/insightful (acute awareness). If you’re talking about acute angles, it doesn’t mean small, it means less than 90 degrees.
That haircut definitely controls his narrative.
Wrestling in gyms for Arby's gift cards isn't controlling shit lol
U control those beef and cheddars
Why d you leave WWE 😢
Who bro?
narrative is basicly money ,nothing else
Finally
Is he a heel? Cause within 20sec I can’t stand him.
He is a Big Fish in a little pond
I don't think he comes across very well.
Buddy looks like he does more coke than Tony Khan
So controlling your narrative just meant becoming a champion in a dead company lol
Here you sit in the minor leagues still after all this time
Hot guy
I hinestlynsont get why people like him, he isnt good
Overcompensating much
I mean that's his entire thing. His little buddy must be small
Who's this?
He’s full of himself !
The way he talks makes me uncomfortable
Is this guy joking? Sounds like a spoiled 17 yr old girl.

Ec3 vs mjf. Both egotistical maniacs. I can only imagine the crazy promos we could get out of that.
I cringe when he talks...it's just so corny lol
CYN

I always think this dude is a random homeless guy when I see him in thumbnails lol.
Does he control the narrative for EC1 and EC2?
Dude is a glorified jobber

no he’s not

Pretty sure that's athletic tape.
It's athletic tape for injuries
Well he’s put the tape on horribly
@@khizar5474 You put it on specific areas where there is muscle strain, so he's applied it correctly lol.
@TheDemonCaine I don't think that's tape dude 😅😂 look at it more closely
Lol 🤥 🤥 🤥 🤥 🤥
I feel like he talks like that to hide his coke tooth
What do you think wrestling fans???? Does EC3 make MORE or LESS than $500,000/year?
What a clown
He is and always has been overrated. Sorry...he's just not that good.
Hes a joke wrestler in a joke company, super happy being the champ of clowns and losers.
Didn't this guy try to start?Control your narrative company and it failed after two shows and did not pay out half its wrestlers
Yes not to mention his biggest backers in Kross and Strowman left him high and dry pretty quick 😂
Dude must stop taking roids his nose is grown with muscules
🥸
