Former two times TNA World Heavyweight Champion EC3 aka Ethan Carter III who is also a four times WWE 24/7 Champion recently talked about what he had been thinking to have as the step of his professional wrestling career.
EC3 was first recognized by WWE back in 2009 when he walks on the Florida Championship Wrestling which was the development Territory of WWE back in the time. He even won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship one time along with Johnny Curtis who is mostly famous under the name of Fandango.
EC3 Discusses What He Has In Mind As His Next Step
In 2010 he worked as a participant of the NXT which was the Talent Hunt competition back in the time. He was still working under his ring name Derrick Bateman. In 2013 he was released by WWE and he started trying to find success elsewhere. He joined Impact Wrestling and at the same time he was working on the independent circuit. He was treated as a main event star in the Impact Wrestling as he won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship two times.
Everybody was expecting a big push for him as he showed great potential outside of WWE. But the plans of WWE were completely different. They brought him back just to bury him completely. His run in WWE is considered as one of the worst runs for any professional wrestler. It completely destroyed all the momentum he gained. In 2020 WWE released him.
Right now, he is working on the independent circuit as well as other professional wrestling promotions such as Ring of Honor. After his WWE release, he clearly said that he did not want to work for any major wrestling promotion anymore.
EC3 aka Ethan Carter III who is also a four times WWE 24/7 Champion recently spoke to WrestleZone where she talked about what he had been thinking to have as the step of his professional wrestling career. He said;
“I’ve been the Top 1%. I’ve been ‘Chicks In America.’ I’ve been the Essential Character. I’ve been world champion. And I’ve been a huge jabroni, so like, I’ve been everything. What is that final form and I’m kind of teasing it with NWA, and it’s the ‘Over Man’, you know, because I’m over, man.
“But if you read philosophy and Nietzsche and the story of the Übermensch and how that’s influenced so many different heroes of fiction and things of that nature, directly stealing from him and making it my own within wrestling. So that is the final form I want to achieve.
“I don’t think I can achieve that until my pec is fully healed and my third world championship is around my waist and my tattoos are complete and my art is solidified. But there will be a moment where I ascend into hypothetically the heavens, but it’s probably going to be an arena, so maybe just up into the rafters and I become that over man that I really desperately truly want to become that’s it.”
