Control Your Narrative is one of the newest promotions in the wrestling landscape with EC3 at the head of things.
EC3 first began controlling his narrative following his WWE release, doing cinematic matches that explored characters like Matt Cardona, Moose, and Braun Strowman (Adam Scherr). The cinematic matches became an entire promotion with Control Your Narrative running events during AEW Revolution and WWE WrestleMania weekends.
Fans have been split on Control Your Narrative for a variety of reasons ranging from the product itself to the talent being used and their personal stances on real-world issues.
Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri for SHAK Wrestling, EC3 weighed in on the divisiveness caused by CYN.
"The divisiveness comes from, people don't know what it is yet, haven't really consumed it, maybe just saw a clip or two. You're going to run into negativity and divisiveness when you are different. It's hard for people to...if they don't understand something immediately, it's not, 'Oh, I don't get this, let me find out more.' It's, 'this sucks, next.' Maybe, on my end, I have to grab their attention quicker. I have to give them something more to sink their teeth into with immediate gratification. At the same time, I don't want to compromise long-term storytelling because people are divisive about it. You can't create for everyone. You try to please everybody, you please nobody. Each and every company uses the standard, 'we're doing it for the fans.' Fans are booking shows now. I'm not creating for the fans. I'm creating for the people that believe in me and want to be part of my idea and movement. Hopefully, through that, the fans will find a very engaging and inciteful product that has next level depth, the same action and entertainment they crave, humor, comedy, drama, but I can't create to try to reach the divisive person. They'll either give me a chance, or they don't, and that's fine. That's their choice, either way. To create your bold vision, you have to do straightforward," he said.
Control Your Narrative recently signed a TV deal with Pro Wrestling TV. You can learn more by clicking here.
The promotion is set to hold shows on May 13 in Cleveland and May 14 in Detroit.
