10 Wrestlers That Visibly Hated Working For WWE
10. EC3
And who could blame him?
Those backstage parties on WWE shows almost always look like the worst times imaginable, but this one in particular came as EC3 found himself in a rather familiar slump thanks to the obnoxiously crap treatment of his character following a 2019 NXT call-up.
In truth, the signs hadn't been great on the black-and-gold brand either.
The former TNA Champion was permitted to keep his "1%er" gimmick, but he re-emerged in an entirely different NXT from the one he'd left. The show was drunk on work rate, firing out pulsating bangers on a weekly basis with even better efforts saved for the TakeOver specials. EC3 was always more about persona and physique rather than in-ring finesse, and his whole run peaked in defeat to Velveteen Dream rather than victory over somebody of acclaim.
Going 50/50 with a departing Dean Ambrose was a horrific way to make a new first impression on Raw, and his decision to brutally no-sell these festivities on the May 27th edition of the show only served to pop the online fanbase rather than his disinterested paymasters.
