EC3's Control Your Narrative Project Keeps Getting Weirder
Control Your Narrative invites VIP attendees to enter the Rant Room.
Control Your Narrative, the new wrestling promotion headed by former WWE stars EC3 and Adam 'Braun Strowman' Scherr, will invite those who purchase VIP tickets for its 5 March show in Orlando, Florida to enter the Rant Room.
What is the "Rant Room", you ask? In EC3's own words:-
Plus (Just Added as I typed this) VIPs get entry into the #ControlYourNarrative #RANTROOM!

Presumably, this will be limited to wrestlers announced for the show (if they're going to "sit there and take it"). EC3, Scherr, Killer Kross, and Austin Aries have all been confirmed thus far.
Though EC3 has been working on his 'Narrative' project for a while now, the group only announced its intentions to run as a full-on promotion in February. A television deal is reportedly in the works for CYN, which has issued the following mission statement:-
We, collectively as wrestlers, can no longer wait. We can not wait on companies that answer only to share holders. Companies where billionaires collect talent as "toys." Companies that fire their entire roster for the mistakes their office made. Companies that are complacent in presentation.
Meanwhile, FITE's disclaimer page for Control Your Narrative content reads as follows:-
WARNING #TheNarrative content is created for a MATURE and ASTUTE audience. What you will see here are the depictions, in propaganda format, of those taking back CONTROL, fighting for FREEDOM, and finding PURPOSE. The Narrative stories are told within the realities of those featured. The following is not intended for children, weak minds, or those easily offended. Viewer Discretion is advised.
Amongst other things, CYN has also launched the Control Your Nutrition program in partnership with Dude's Gourmet. Such products as "Control Your Chicken" are being produced in opposition to "Big Seasoning", which CYN claims "has been contaminating your beef, chicken, fish and even your vegetables for far too long."
What the actual shows will look like once they make air remains to be seen. Nonetheless, the apparent dog whistles used in the promotional material thus far, plus the group seemingly revelling in its decision to book "cancelled" wrestlers, appears to be an attempt at appealing to a very specific crowd.
