Ethan Carter 3 aka EC3 was treated as a main event star in the Impact wrestling / TNA wrestling. He won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship two times in his small career. But since joining WWE he almost lost all the fame he achieved in a short amount of time. Everybody thought he would be the next big thing in WWE but no such thing happened, in fact, he was mostly seen as an undercard for most of the time period.
After he left WWE, fans thought he would go to the All Elite wrestling and will be given the treatment he actually deserves. But a number of days ago he revealed to himself that he does not want to wrestle in the ‘Corporate Wrestling Structure’ because he thinks it is not suitable for him. Recently, EC3 spoke with WhatCulture where he disclosed a number of things,
EC3 Compares WWE, ROH & Impact Backstage
he says he hasn’t gotten a feel at ROH because of their pandemic precautions:
As far as the vibe and the ambience and the atmosphere [in Ring of Honor], it’s hard to say just based on doing this business in a totally different way with quarantines, so there’s not the locker room rapport you’re building with everybody or having conversations and you’re not surrounded by people all the time because you have to make amends for the pandemic. So, it’s a different atmosphere and I think when things return to normal which they should, then I’ll get more of a vibe for it, but from what I can say, there’s a lot of pride here. There’s supposed honor, we’ll see.
he says he really enjoyed IMPACT’s backstage atmosphere while WWE’s was soul crushing:
Morale is high and there’s a lot of optimism. As far as that and other places, IMPACT was fun. It was cool to hang out in. I think they were set in their ways as opposed to what’s next to take a step forward. Morale in WWE is, you can guess. It’s soul-crushing and stealing and financially beneficial.
WWE has been thoroughly criticized by the critics for giving a burial treatment to EC3. WWE signed him for absolutely no reason but to keep him as an undercard only. EC3’s statement makes it clear why new wrestlers find it difficult to cope up with the biggest industry of professional wrestling. We hope things will change soon.
