10 WWE Stars Who Are Unhappy Right Now
2. EC3
EC3's Top 1% schtick is hilariously ironic these days, provided you are not EC3; if you are EC3, you are likely mourning the halcyon days of...Impact Wrestling.
That's got to hurt, Jesus Christ, particularly since EC3 didn't even enjoy the literal and figurative Florida sunshine as part of NXT. He bombed on a TakeOver stage his verbose talents were never a great fit for, and was rescued from one nightmare and parachuted into another. A mute poser on RAW, EC3, utterly bereft of confidence, has conspired to create GIF material from Main Event, a show that is otherwise completely absent from the tl.
EC3 has contracted disaster. To his credit, and this is actually a bit sad, given the set of skills he isn't allowed to show off, he has expressed his frustrations by channeling the easy-going joy that was his old Derrick Bateman character - a character who by starring in NXT Redemption, somehow, had a bigger profile. That's another desperately sad subplot to all this; in hulking up his physique and proving that he could get over away from WWE's auspices, EC3's Impact run was essentially his WWE audition. He got the job, all right.
"Thanks. Catering was delicious," EC3 tweeted in glib response to WWE's Happy Birthday wishes. Unhappy but still funny, EC3 hasn't lost his sense of humour, even if he's lost all else.
