For the following reasons: 1. Big debut win over Norv Fernum at Bound for Glory 2. For being a great American and strengthing our border...probably 3. Has the confidence of Aunt D TNA President Dixie Carter 4. Is uncompromising, unflappable, unforgettable, and undeniably Ethan 5. trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble

Way too soon, homie. I like the dude but got to see what he offers before strapping him to the rocket ship.

3 minute title match squash for AJ on Impact? Sure. Stick it to Dixie even more .

Got to get the character over with fans first. Right now, he's basically Jesse Godderz if he was Dixie's nephew. Flesh out his character and get the crowd familiar with his antics.

I'd say a month or two before even a none title match but I do like him, a nice bright spot...so few.

Love this idea. That or he should be the tag team champions with someone like Samoa Joe where Joe is doing all the work winning matches while ECIII gloats.

No. Build him up. The last person who was rushed was Austin Aires. Look at him now. Either way, TNA will screw his character up. In 5 months we all will be here wondering how TNA could have screwed up the EC3 character.

He should win every title. Including the Tag Titles by himself.

In 5 months we all will be here wondering how TNA could have screwed up the EC3 character. How did they screw up Aries? They built him up with a solid nearly year long reign as X-Division Champion up until which point he was the hottest act in the company so they changed their plans and gave him the World Title. His booking was poor during that but since then he has been presented as a legitimate threat and was given other things to do while he was kept out of the World Title picture for a while (something he'd been in for seven months straight when he was cycled out) such as having a good Tag Team Title run with a man in a similar position, Bobby Roode. He was in the final four in the BFG Series and competed in a high profile "All Star" Ultimate X match at BFG. He could be the first challenger to AJ Styles and no-one would bat an eyelid. How does that equal screwing him up by pushing him too fast?!

I think that they are building him towards a feud with AJ. It would be the most logical thing for Dixie to use him to get the World Title back to the Carter family. I really hope TNA does not f*** this up. This has huhe potential to be an anti-Gooker for TNA.

No, Drew got shoved into our faces as 'The Chosen One'. He got instant heel heat. No one outside of hardcore fans knew this guy was a decent UK wrestler. He was just some Scottish dude to every casual fan. You'd have a point if this guy was a babyface, but this isn't the case.

McIntyre barely got heat once he was left out there on his own devices. Vince was the heat. And Drew didn't wrestled up to the promise he was supposed to achieve during his push. Fans rebelled and greeted him with apathy. By the time he start to live up to the hype, WWE pushed him down the card because a new pet project struck their fancy. Drew was damaged because he was pushed too fast and hard. I like Carter. That's why I want him to flow into a big push instead becoming a Gunner or a Crimson.
