If you want to see how done EC3 is with his WWE career...

[Pushed to the Moon]

Isn't his new gimmick being "bored"?

[Brian Suntan]

It'd be pretty unprofessional if it isn't a gimmick.

However unhappy these guys are with their booking, they're not being sent down a mine here. Do your job, leave as soon as you can if you want.

Heard he got eliminated from the blood money battle royal as soon as the bell rang.

Seriously, what did this guy do? Wellness violation? Dick pic to Stephanie? I feel like we're on the verge of the kiss my ass club returning just for him.

I have to wonder if it's his new gimmick. Like I'm sure he's super unhappy, but I think he also knows he's a meme now.

Are they mentioning it all on commentary? Because WWE doesn't know subtle and there's no way it's a gimmick if they aren't hammering it home.

And if it was...he’s barely on TV enough for them to make comment about it.

And no, Main Event doesn’t count.

He got tossed from the Andre battle royal at WM almost as quick..... hell, it seemed like from what we saw (lol camera work) that it could've been a botch even; he was trying to hang on and may've slipped..?

[sunnytaker]

well he's been horribly misued. mic work is his strongest thing so let's not have him speak a single word since his call up! it's almost like "well he was successful this way somewhere else- so we can;t have him do the same thing here or people might think we're using other companies ideas and we're the wwe, we can't make it seem like we've watched other companies..." (see lashley, bobby). i'd be going through the motions too if i was him.

[BorneAgain]

Its a bad sign for your career when the era of soap opera feuds with grape van/chloroform enthusiast Johnny Curtis can be considered a much more effective use of your talents.

Frankly, I don't see why he should be doing anything more than showing up to work and doing what he's told with the bare minimum amount of effort. Guy was called up for absolutely no reason only to be immediately jobbed out for, apparently, not managing to immediately become a beloved face despite facing off against a guy the fans liked in squash matches and not being allowed to talk despite it being the main thing he's good at. I don't blame him a bit for making it clear just how much he's having none of this bullshit because they're going out of their way to waste him.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Another guy they gave up on immediately after Vince got his hands on him.

You know, I was trying to be reasonable before about how Hunter/Steph/Shane can't bury Vince in front of the writers, agents, etc. but this is f***ing ridiculous.

Bury the f***er even if he comes up with a good idea. Everything he says tell him is terrible and it won't work. Humiliate the moron until he gives up trying to run creative.

[Convoy]

When did EC3 sign? If nothing else, they were only offering three-year contracts then, as oppose to the five-year standard now.

Because it's his job? Fans who are paying to watch the show or watching on TV deserve better than someone half-assing their performance.

Anywhere else in life, if you receive shit service from someone who clearly doesn't care, you wouldn't stop to consider if that person is feeling creatively unfulfilled.

And again, none of these people are being sent to war here. If EC3/whoever just has to settle for being decently paid to wrestle on Main Event for a living... so what?

All that said, I don't actually believe EC3 would've made it all the way down the ramp being as openly disrespectful/disinterested as that video suggests. Must be a gimmick.

[Dub H]

The guy was booked to fail.

I know people will say "what would Vince gain from that"? But what else do you call it?

Not sure if this is the reason but if it is then WWE/Vince is a f**king wackjob for the reasons.

-- On the latest Chris Jericho podcast, Jon Moxley spoke about his matches against EC3, the first of which he lost in only two minutes. During that match, the audience knew very well what was happening (Ambrose was being buried as he was on his way out) and by the weekend house shows, everyone was cheering him (even though he was a heel) as a way to send WWE a message, putting EC3 in a difficult position.

— On Wrestling Observer Radio, the hosts suggested that this unexpected reaction likely has led to EC3 being de-pushed and perhaps even punished. Almost the very next week, WWE had EC3 job to “Dean Ambrose” even though the latter was on his way out of the company. Dave Meltzer added that the reason Ambrose was cheered more than EC3 likely just came down to the audience knowing him better rather than anything EC3 failed to do, however, WWE officials seemingly had to pin it on someone and EC3 was that person.

I have seen this story on other sites too but I only remember the rajah address so I could find this quicker

Yeh ,I sitened tot he podcast and Moxley say he faced EC3 on house shows and Moxley kept being cheered over EC3.And that EC3 suffered tha fall from that ,even if it wasn't his fault.Moxley commented he was the big loved wrestler on the way out,no one was going to boo him.



Still,that is a ENORMOUS overeaction. I'm pretty sure Vince just wanted to book EC3 in a no-win situation.

[thegame415]

He looks like a million bucks, yet they can't do anything with him. Just, wow.

[4real]

The booking for this guy is just so baffling. Dude deserves better than this. In fact most talents deserve better booking than what EC3 has had. It just seems so aimless and going nowhere. Why isn’t he allowed to talk?! This company seriously.

[Deleted]

That’s unprofessional, lol.

But seriously.... what did this guy do to deserve this? Basically from the entire beginning, he’s been set up to fail. Random cameos in backstage segments and losing to Titus O’Neil on Main Event.

And to think I thought he could have a Wrestlemania program with John Cena at one point.

It’s baffling. He has to be the most misused guy on the roster by far. He’s good in the ring, good on the mic, can do comedy and serious AND he looks like an absolute Adonis. What’s missing?
