EC3 Talks People In WWE Fearing For Their Jobs, His Treatment & More

EC3 was one of several superstars released by WWE during the mass exodus of April 15th, and he has since returned to his old stomping ground in Impact Wrestling. WWE didn’t use EC3 to the best of their ability at all. One of the most popular superstars in NXT, he was called up far too soon and was only really used as part of the WWE 24/7 Chanpionship hijinks. His WWE release wasn’t a huge surprise, but there were plenty of people who had his back.

While speaking to Busted Open Radio, EC3 revealed that he had plenty of people backstage who were in his corner. The overridng problem was that nobody went to bat for him because everyone is “scared and apprehensive” behind the scenes. They live in of losing their jobs, which is apparently becoming a more common issue backstage within the company.

“I think I had people in my corner but nobody that would openly step up because everyone is job scared and apprehensive. No one wants to rock the boat. They would say, man I can’t believe they don’t let you talk. Well, they are in production meetings. They can say something. I’ve had one on ones with Vince. I’ve been through the wait four hours in the hallway and they were always good and productive. He saw me for what I am. I look good, work good, but I’m not the workhorse. He doesn’t make money off those guys. He makes money off guys with charisma which I have. I have natural ability.”

“Whatever promo he saw of me, he saw one promo and thought it was over the top. Well, that was one, and you know I can always scale it back. Yea, but I just think it’s funny you don’t talk. Well, it’s only killing me inside but it’s your show. Yea, so there were those meetings and you feel good walking out of them but then nothing ever happens from them.”

“I pitched him a bunch of different things. There’s a video I shot with Drake Maverick and we think this will be great. Ha, I love it! That’s great and then it never happens. After a while, you become desensitized and I will take accountability that I stopped caring because nothing mattered. So, I’m totally to blame for nothing towards the end from happening besides the fact I was out with a concussion, but, it all worked out, I guess, how it should.”

EC3 unfortunately picked up an injury towards the end of his run with the company, which likely did his future prospects no favours. He was very open about his injury and discussed just how hard it was for him to get through. It appears that EC3’s concussion is all better now and he is getting the spotlight that he deserves back in Impact Wrestling. It seems as though his first bit of business is going after Moose and his TNA Championship.
