From what I remember Johnny Curtis apparently used the gimmick earlier in his career.

I really think he & Spud would be a success in the WWE. Their chemistry is awesome and totally unexpected.

I like EC3. He has come along really well this past year, seemingly being more comfortable out there every week. I'd be all for seeing him return to NXT. I think Bateman is someone who should show up on the main roster right away. He's already been trained in the "WWE Style", and was already "called up" to be on the old NXT.

Give him the TNA character but a equally bad ass name.

I'd want him as EC3, unless he was going to be put in a tag team with Dirty Curty.
He could be DB if he was with Dirty Curty, for sure.

USA Guy vs Rusev would be awesome.

You can call him Derrick, or you can call him Ethan, but you doesn't has to call him Johnson!

I'd be down for DB3, using the Derrick Bateman name with the same spoiled gimmick. Have HHH sign him to be his pet project and let him be the same spoiled brat he was in TNA.

I've been thinking about this and I'm glad there's a thread about it. I was actually contemplating more which character they'd bring him back as, rather than which I'd prefer. I love both characters and if they brought him back, I assume he'd be Bateman again. I'm happy either way, but he's got a better chance at a push as EC3, I think.

If WWE bought TNA, I want him as EC3. But I would like for him to cut a promo where he acknowledges that he was Derrick Bateman and that Vince made him "hide" the fact that he was the nephew of his rival Dixie. I would want him to acknowledge being Bateman so that he can bring it up in a feud with Bryan. Or even with Cena, and he can do the whole "Nikki was mine before she was yours" Flair/Savage thing, but with EC3 being delusional since they only went one one date. All I know is I really wish he was in WWE. Do the hiding his name because of the rival stuff but he has to have Spud with him.
