When you control the moves and the narrative, you can make it up as you go along.
The former TNA Heavyweight Champion EC3 joined Fightful's Wrestling Perspective with Lars Frederiksen and Dennis Farrell for their weekly podcast. When asked if a ban for certain wrestling moves was necessary in the promotion, he created Control Your Narrative. EC3 would explain his reasoning on why to The Wrestling Perspective.
"Part of my reality towards wrestling is how these amazing athletic moves are thrown away by overuse. They have no effectiveness. They have no reason. They have no rhyme, and these are some of the coolest “quote” moves, physical feats that wrestling has to offer, and they're just they're thrown away. So by banning them, I therefore made them far more, you know, effective than they have ever been. They mean more, and there have been super kicks on CYN Shows. Every time that's happened, maybe the Ref's back was turned, maybe someone got disqualified, but every time somebody got kicked in the face, they were hurt and they lost. So it works. My superkick's work in my company." EC3 told The Wrestling Perspective.
EC3 banned particular moves before his promotion began. He posted the rules for the promotion earlier this year on his Instagram.
When speaking with Steve Fall of NBC Sports Boston in September, EC3 said the business would need to be reevaluated. The promotion ended their tour in July, after their biggest star Braun Strowman left the promotion and returned to the WWE after being released by the company in the summer of 2021.
EC3 has been wrestling for Billy Corgan's promotion NWA and appeared on the December 6th episode of NWA Powerrr, and those results can be seen by clicking here.
