Ethan Carter has done everything WWE has asked of their released talent if they are wanting to make it back someday. Hes continued to be involved in the business on a full-time basis, hes become a better in-ring wrestler and hes improved on the microphone. Carter is probably a bit over-pushed in TNA, but hes made the best of every opportunity hes given. You have to give the company credit too, as he has been used more effectively under Dixie's watch than he ever was in WWE as Derrick Bateman. If Carter were to come back to WWE, he probably wouldnt be pushed as a top star, but he could be a valuable mid-carder. Hes great in a pesky heel role, so he could be used to battle and put over babyface opponents in the Intercontinental Title range. At 31-years-old, Carter has plenty of years left in the business and will hopefully get a chance to move far away from his Auntie if TNA were to go under.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
